heart went mad and in my stomach flew million of butterflies. I wanted to share this news with everyone, my husband, my family and friends, I could not stop smiling and I simply shined.
Unfortunatelly, I am also familiar with the opposite feelings, when you lose the most precious gift you were given, a child. But this experience opened something new for me, gave me inspiration and new strength.
Make a long story short, this experience inspired me, and one of my good friends encouraged me to start working with harmony balls, or Mexican Bola necklaces. I loved the idea but wanted to make it somehow special and personal too, so I got an idea - add to Bola balls your own wishes, lucky charms and healing stones, that strengthen the power of the necklace.
BTW, I made one Bola for myself, just to let the angels know I am ready :)
What is a Harmony ball, Mexican Bola pregnancy necklace or angel caller?
The Mexican Bola is a musical chime necklace which was first worn by pregnant women in Mexico. Through generations of motherhood they learned of the calming effect that the Bola had on their babies during pregnancy and after birth. The chiming Bola, with its soft sound is encased in a stylish sterling silver plated cage. From around 20 weeks into pregnancy when the baby begins to hear sounds, the Bola is worn low on the belly, near to the baby. The Bola makes a soft chiming noise during movement and the soothing sound will become familiar to your baby and may comfort, reassure and relax them in the womb. The real benefits of Mexican Bola comes after the birth. The Bola can then be worn on the chest or on the neck and the baby gains comfort while being nursed, by playing with it and hearing the familiar chime.
The Bola is a beautiful gift to a future mother-to-be which can she later pass to her daughter or a daughter-in-law, when become pregnant.
Can non-pregnant women wear Mexican Bola/ Harmony ball?
Many women in today’s hectic world enjoy the calming effect of the subtle soothing chime sounds emanating from their harmony ball necklace.
I made one for my sister. She always wanted a necklace that makes sound and this chime seemed like a perfect solution :). I added 4 birthstones, each stone represents one family member. I stampled letter F to the stainless steel heart. It means Family Forever. And guess what? She loved it, yeeeey.
Your own wishes, birth stones, healing stones and charms added to your Mexican Bola necklace,harmony ball or angel caller.
So, why not to add to your Bola your own wishes (Love, Luck, Health, Happiness, Peace, name of the baby, some motto that helps you to be more relaxed, that gives you strength, belief.... it can be anything you like :).
When I know what your wishes are, it is lot more easier to fullfil your expectations. With your wish I add a few more charms and healing stones too, to support it. Do not be afraid to be specific :)
This angel wings Bola was a custom order. It is 18K gold plated cage and chain with a white chime. I added a few little goodies for Luck, Love and Angel "support".
