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.
