The Legend of the “Harmony Ball”

The harmony chiming ball is part of a tradition that dates back through millennia of generations as diverse as Mexico and Indonesia. The spherical pendant emits a sound that inspires tranquility and harmony.

In Mayan culture is it called “Llamador de Angeles” Angel Caller. Each pendant has a unique sound and is said to have a magical ability to summon the guardian angel of its wearer, protecting him or her through his or her life.

In Bali, it is given to pregnant women to harmonise and calm their baby through life. The sound is also reminiscent of their ceremonial music “gamelan” to connect to the spirits.

Hand made in Myanmar supporting Master Goldsmiths.

An intricate design with deep symbology. The spinning globe locket has a lotus flower feature with four birth stones representative to the client; intricate and refined with wondrous madness. The hammered gold globe - representing the power of sound, also reminiscent to the sacred Tibetan healing bowls.

The flower floats above the muddy waters of attachment and desire.

Thorani collection

Hand made in Myanmar, price upon request

The Thorani Collection fuses traditional techniques with modern design in 18ct gold and silver. The fish are a cultural symbol of the Inthar locals from Lake Inle where the local economy survives mostly on agriculture and fishing. The fish represent good luck and good fortune. Here Rebecca has taken the classic design and recreated it as an indigenous modern design. Unfortunately due to the rise in tourism, land reclamation and the deficient waste management around and on the lake it is threatening the natural environment with over 30 endemic species.

The Thorani collection is not only supporting local traditional craft in Yangon but is also raising awareness to fixing the world’s largest issue, the Ocean. 10% of the collection goes to We Are Project 0.
