A beloved symbol of Mardi Gras tradition, the King Cake is an oval-shaped celebration treat topped with festive purple, green, and gold sprinkles—and hiding a tiny baby inside. According to tradition, whoever finds the baby in their slice is said to receive good luck, prosperity, and a year of celebration.

Inspired by this cherished Louisiana custom, Jose Balli put a playful and meaningful spin on the tradition by hand-carving a wax design of the King Cake baby swinging joyfully on the cake, patiently awaiting Mardi Gras festivities to begin. The result is a charming pendant that captures the spirit, humor, and heart of New Orleans.

Whether worn during Carnival season or all year long, this pendant is a sweet reminder of tradition, celebration, and a little extra luck—no matter where you are.
