Asprey’s jewelry collection co-designed by the most famous couple of the show business Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is hitting stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai. The "Protector Collection" created over a year ago in collaboration with Angelina and Brad features limited-edition fine jewels and silver objects inspired by snake motif. Snake was chosen by Jolie for its symbolism as an iconic guardian, particularly over family protection and fertility.
According to Asprey, during Jolie's first pregnancy, she was given a snake ring, intended to guard her and her unborn child. The symbol has become a family guardian to the Jolie-Pitts, and in the Protector Collection, it appears in everything from fine jeweled bracelets to rings, earrings and pendants available for both children and adults. The motif can also be found in three sterling silver objects: a tooth box featuring an animated snake that stands above the circular box; an eggcup replete with a coiled snake wrapped around the cup's base; and a spoon whose handle takes serpentine form.
Prices start at $525 for a silver baby spoon with a curving, serpent-shaped handle, and all net proceeds from sales will go to Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which was cofounded by Jolie in 2006. The charity raises awareness and funds to educate child victims of war, conflict and natural disasters. Jolie said in her recent email: “These are the children who most need a safe place to learn, a place to heal, a place to learn reconciliation, a place to build a better future and a place — to just be children. Yet the education for these children is often forgotten. Tens of millions of children and adolescents in conflict are not in school.”
Angie has already been spotted wearing one of the serpent bracelets from the collection to London’s BAFTA Awards in as well as the couple’s youngest daughter Vivienne, 18 months, who was wearing a bracelet from children’s collection.
