Light of My Life

Crowned with faceted garnet, a sterling silver locket necklace hosts a shining brass globe inside. It chimes like a small bell. From Sukartini, the handcrafted pendant is worn on a silver chain.

Also called 'angel necklaces' and 'harmony balls,' such necklaces are often worn by pregnant women in Bali and also in Mexico. Some wear it on a short chain like an amulet. Others prefer a 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.
