Wings of an Angel

Crowned with angel wings, this lacy pendant opens like a locket. It encloses a brass chine in this exquisite necklace from Sukartini. The polished pendant centers a long silver chain.

Also called 'angel necklaces' and 'harmony balls,' Such necklaces are often worn by pregnant women in Bali and also in Mexico. Many wear it on a short chain as an amulet. Others prefer a long chain that lets the pendant reach to the belly and the delicate sounds are thought to soothe the mother and the baby she is carrying. Some believe it summons a guardian angel, thus making it a symbol of loving protection.
