Thai artisans preserve the timeless beauty of a garden rose, presented by Danai in this unforgettable bolo-style necklace. They carefully select a miniature rose with an antique ivory color tipped with pink, fortifying it with a painstaking technique where the natural petals are bathed with a clear, glossy resin. The pendant of this necklace moves along a gold-flashed brass chain.

Lacy and lovely, a sterling silver locket holds a red enameled globe that chimes like a small bell. Ketut Sulastri crafts the necklace by hand with white cultured pearls and petite garnet gemstones along the long silver chain.

Also called "angel necklaces" and "harmony balls," Such necklaces are often worn by pregnant women in Bali and also in Mexico. The chain lets the pendant reach to the belly and the delicate sounds are thought to soothe the mother and the baby she is carrying. Some believe it summons a guardian angel, thus making it a symbol of loving protection.

Ancient wisdom meets contemporary style in this jade pendant necklace by Guatemala’s Ruben and Gilda Perez. It boasts a finely carved nahual symbol, an emblem that represents the spiritual guides the Mayan calendar bestows upon each person. The Ajmaq nahual symbolizes reconciliation, compassion, learning from mistakes, and the capacity to forgive and heal the past in order to evolve spiritually. Finished with sterling silver accents, its adjustable waxed cotton cord makes it effortless to wear.
