The bola: the necklace of choice for pregnant women
Traditionally worn by pregnant women in Mexico and Indonesia, the bola necklace is a symbolic and soothing piece of jewelry. It's a long necklace with a rounded pendant that produces a gentle melody when the mother-to-be moves. This subtle, delicate melody becomes audible to the baby from the nineteenth or twentieth week of pregnancy. This familiar sound has a calming effect on the baby, not only during pregnancy, but also after birth, providing a source of comfort. The bola necklace is one of the first links between mother and baby.
A symbolic pendant for mother and baby
Bola necklaces, also known as pregnancy necklaces or pregnancy bolas, are often associated with the tradition of protecting the unborn child by attracting guardian angels. In addition to their spiritual significance, these necklaces add a touch of style and femininity to the mother-to-be. Bola necklaces come in a variety of colors and materials (gold, silver, stone, etc.). The original designs and varied materials enable every woman to find a necklace that suits her perfectly, and that she can wear throughout her pregnancy, and even afterwards.
Our tip: after pregnancy, you can slip the bola necklace into a specially designed comforter. This way, your baby can be soothed whenever he or she needs it by the familiar, gentle tinkling.
A necklace that accompanies you from pregnancy to baby's birth
After birth, the bola necklace can be passed on to the child as a precious memento of the pregnancy period. It becomes a tangible link between mother and child, symbolizing love and protection. The gift of a pregnancy necklace is therefore much more than just a piece of jewelry: it's a gift charged with emotion and meaning, accompanying the mother-to-be throughout this unique period of her life.
Our tips for choosing your bola
With a wide variety of styles and materials, the bola can be adapted to the tastes and preferences of every mother-to-be. For an extra touch of originality and symbolism, why not opt for a bola embellished with the birthstone of the unborn child?
Each birthstone is associated with specific virtues, such as protection, luck or wisdom, and brings an even more personal bond between mother and baby. Choosing a personalized bola with the birthstone, an engraving or a particular symbol makes the jewel unique and emotionally charged, making this necklace a true lucky charm to accompany the mother throughout her pregnancy and beyond.
