Small sphere Angel Caller necklace

The legend of the angel call or angel bell has its origins in South American culture. The angel call is made of a smooth or engraved silver sphere, inside of which is a small xylophone. With movement, 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 to the bell the ability to call the guardian angel; 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 omen. The rattle is placed on the pregnant woman's belly.

The sweet tinkling of the rattle is not only relaxing, but also serves to create a deep connection between the future mother and her little one. Furthermore, the sound of the little bell draws the attention of the angels to the little one who will come into the light.

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

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