Chiama angeli necklace with textured sphere - mod. 3

The legend of the angel call or angel chime has its origins in South American culture. The angel call is made of a smooth or engraved silver sphere containing a small xylophone. When moved, the xylophone produces a sweet sound that is said to have the power to call the attention of one's guardian angel.

There are many stories surrounding this rattle, and many are merely superstitions. We know two things for sure about the angel call. The first certainty is that all religions attribute the ability to call the guardian angel to the bell; the second certainty is that angels are not the exclusive property of any particular religion and therefore respond to all who call them.

According to Mexican tradition, the angel call (in the Mexican language Bola Messicana) was given to expectant women as a good luck charm. The rattle is placed on the pregnant woman's belly.

The sweet tinkling of the rattle is not only relaxing, but also helps create a deep connection between the mother-to-be and her little one. Furthermore, the sound of the little bell draws the angels' attention to the baby who will soon be born.

The legend of the angel call has recently been supported by science, which has confirmed that babies can hear external sounds in their mother's womb as early as 16–20 weeks. The little one can thus become familiar with a sound that they will encounter in the outside world. The baby, who will hear it moving during the day and not at night, may also better regulate their sleep-wake cycle.

Whether or not you are expecting, the angel call is a beautiful gift to give or receive.
