Mexican Bola

The Mexican Bola is a traditional piece of Maternity Jewelry worn by expectant mums worldwide. Mexican Bola pregnancy chimes are worn so that the chime hangs low on the belly so that the beautiful sound produced by the small xylophone inside the pendant comforts the baby inside the womb. The chimes from the Mexican Bola are produced when the mother goes about her daily routine, and it is said that generations of Mexican mothers have used the Mexican Bola because of the calming effect it has on babies during their pregnancy and even after their children were born. This pregnancy bola is most effective later on in the pregnancy, research has shown that babies can hear best from 20 weeks into pregnancy. Many mothers continue to wear the bola as a nursing necklace as the baby associates the soothing chime from when it was in the womb which has a calming effect while breast feeding and creates a strong bond between the mother and her baby.

The Mexican Bola is also a wonderful keepsake and makes a great gift for parents to hand down as an heirloom. They come in a variety of designs from Plain Silver Mexican Bola's to the beautifully crafted Crystal Mexican Bola's which are perfect for accessorizing your bump when going out to those dinner parties.
