Who wears a Harmony Necklace? they are worn generally by those looking to add some 'harmony' into their lives and are also often worn by women during their pregnancy, with some reported benefits (see this article), and hence is sometimes referred to as a pregnancy necklace. Often case a harmony necklace becomes a family keepsake jewelry piece, handed down from mother to daughter.

Types of Harmony Ball;

Hinged Cage style: this style consists of a hinged Sterling Silver cage into which a chime ball is placed. The chime ball as its name suggests creates the chime sound. These hinged cages come in a number of different ornate designs. The chime ball can be made of different materials including sterling silver and polished brass and also brass enameled in different colors. This style almost always includes a gemstone set on the extended pillar of the cage pendant. With a variety of cage types, chime ball colors and Gemstone selection the numerous combinations allow the purchaser to choose a style and look that suits them, their personality. It also allows expecting mothers to choose a gemstone that relates to the expected birth month of their baby.

Traditional Balinese style: this style is a 'solid' harmony ball, made in two halves with the chime ball placed inside and then the two halves are soldered together. Made from Sterling Silver each and every piece of ornate silver work on the outer skin on most styles is hand placed by the Artisan, an amazing skill considering how fine much of this ornate silver work actually is. Many of these styles are also available as 'antiqued' which produces a stunning look with the highlighted silver work against the dark ball. It is the appreciation of this skill of the Artisan in hand making each individual Harmony Ball that adds to its charm.

Sizes of Harmony Ball pendants available on our Harmony Necklaces; Available sizes in the hinged cage style range are 3/4" (18mm/20mm), 7/8" (22mm), 1" (24mm), 1 1/8" (26mm) and 1 3/16" (28mm) Available sizes in the solid Traditional Balinese style range are 1/2" (12mm), 5/8" (14mm), 3/4" (18mm/20mm), 7/8" (22mm), 1" (24mm), 1 1/8" (26mm) and 1 3/16" (28mm) Generally speaking the larger the harmony ball then the more harmonious is the chime sound - it is a matter of acoustics (more space for the sound to resonate).

Harmony Ball or Bola Necklace or Harmony Necklace or Angel Caller?

What's in a name - is there a difference?

Often but not exclusively worn by women who are pregnant a Harmony Ball or Bola Necklace or Angel Caller or Bola de Grossesse or Harmony Necklace or Pregnancy Necklace is a chiming necklace pendant said to provide harmony between the mother and her unborn child  - refer this detailed authoritative article on the 'Benefits of wearing a Harmony Ball during and after the pregnancy' which highlights the real benefit and dispels the myths.

Whatever name it is called, the buyer should be aware that there are two types of Harmony Balls, Bola Necklaces, Angel Callers etc - 'Real' and 'Copies' - 'Real' ones are Hand Made primarily of Sterling Silver - 'Copies' are mass produced in China and are 'only Plated silver' - only one will ever last to be a 'Keepsake' to hand on to your Daughter such as those quality necklaces available at Dazzlers.

    

So with so many names, is there a difference between them? - basically not. The Harmony Ball originates from Bali, Indonesia whilst the Bola Necklace or Angel Caller or Bola de Grossesse are of Mexican origin - both cultures having used the chiming ball for wearing by expecting mothers, among other uses (for example the ancient chiming Druid Ball was worn in Battle by Scottish warriors).

The only real difference, aside from name and aside from the critically important 'Real' and 'Copies', is some variations in design, primarily culturally evolved variations of a theme.This article 'What is a Harmony Ball?' gives more insight into the history and cultural aspects of these necklaces, also called simply a Pregnancy Necklace
