The Mexican musical bola or pregnancy chime is a pretty and beautiful and original necklace for mums-to-be. Inside the bola is a small chime with a little ball which dances as you move to make the soothing sounds.
It is medically known that from about 20 weeks into the pregnancy babies begin to hear and recognise sounds in the womb. By wearing the bola regularly, low on the belly, the baby hears the chiming sound as you move. The baby experiences this special sound as soothing and calming. After birth, wearing the bola higher up as a necklace, your baby will hear the sound and be soothed by it.
The bolas are nickle-free and come in a variety of colours and patterns. A black cord allows you to adjust the bola to the right position on your belly or chest.
Bolas are a wonderful gift to give your friend, your girfriend, your wife who is a mum-to-be.
Of course you don't need to be pregnant to enjoy these chimes, as by shortening the cord they can be worn as a beautiful chimeful pendant!
