Celebrity couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has teamed up British jewelry brand Asprey to launch a signature jewelry collection.
The Hollywood couple has been working for more than a year to produce a snake-inspired collection of gold jewelry and silver accessories called The Protector, said a report in WWD.
The line, which includes fine jeweled bracelets, rings, earrings and pendants, features a snake motif, one that Asprey said Jolie chose for its symbolism as an iconic guardian, particularly over family protection and fertility.
Jolie, 34, was inspired a snake ring given to her while she was pregnant with her daughter Shiloh. Since then, the symbol apparently became a family protection icon to the Jolie-Pitts.
Prices start at $525 for a silver baby spoon with a curving, serpent-shaped handle. Accessories include silver baby gifts, pendants and gold and diamond rings.
The jewelry collection has hit the retailers in Asprey stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai.
Net proceeds will go to the non-profit Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, co-founded by Jolie in 2006 aimed at raising awareness and funds to educate child victims of war, conflict and natural disasters.
“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,” said Jolie.
“Yet the education for these children is often forgotten. Tens of millions of children and adolescents in conflict are not in school.”
Jewelry design may not be a totally alien arena to Pitt, 45, who has designed items for Italian jewelry brand Damiani in the past.

American singer, actress and entrepreneur Marie Osmond is now also a designer — with the launch of the Marie Lifestyle Collection, created together with interior decor and fashion range producer Gitcraft.
Osmond’s brand in the design industry will be marked by uniquely designed quilted bags and accessories, fashion jewelry, elegant table top and hip home decor accessories.
“Creative expression has always been respected and treasured in my family. It is with that in mind, that I have poured my creative spirit and love for design and style into this new lifestyle collection,” said Osmond, 49.
“I am thrilled to offer stylish, functional products for women everywhere at a value-oriented price.”
The product line, which closely reflects the Osmond style, retails for under $100 and will hit retailers across the US and Canada later this month.

Top advocate, entrepreneur and celebrity model Christy Turlington Burns has teamed up with top Italian jewelry designer Roberto Coins in his new 2009-2010 campaign, which will support CARE, a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty.
The new Roberto Coins campaign, shot by celebrity photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, will feature jewelry brands such as the Primavera, Classic Bold Gold, Cento Diamonds, Fantasia, Appassionata and the eye-catching CapriPlus collections.
Turlington Burns, 40, who has graced the covers of more than 1,000 top magazines, including Vogue and Time, is a passionate pioneer of women’s rights, including CARE’s Advocate for Maternal Health.
Roberto Coin, chairman and co-founder of Roberto Coin Inc., said: “Our previous campaign with Christy [benefiting YouthAIDS] was so successful and widely received. We are so pleased to be working with her again. We are proud to be in partnership with an organization such as CARE for all their extraordinary work they have done to empower women worldwide.”
“Working with Christy is another exciting opportunity for Roberto Coin,” said Peter Webster, president and co-founder of Roberto Coins, Inc.
“The new campaign also salutes an organization that invites people to go out and make a difference. At Roberto Coin, we believe that a cause related campaign is much more impactful than straight consumer advertising. This campaign recognizes both the work of Christy Turlington Burns and that of CARE.”
The campaign was shot in April and will launch in October fashion glossies such as Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Architectural Digest, Gourmet, and Town & Country.

British singer-songwriter-fashion model Lily Allen has been making new forays in the celebrity fashion scene, and this time she’s gotten really bold and has launched her own jewelry line named… well, Lily Allen.
Lily Allen models her Coins jewelry
The 24-year-old pop star emphasized she she loved jewelry, “always have.” Allen thinks it “completes an outfit.”
“You can change your whole look just by changing which jewelry you choose to go with what you’re wearing,” Allen told the fashion trend-setter Vogue.
“All of the designs stem from anything whether it’s the surroundings of places I’ve been to around the world, objects I’ve seen… anything. The list could go on forever.”
The line is designed for girls and women aged ‘14 to 40′. Whether it’s just supposed to rhyme, or if it will really click within that rather ambitiously wide age group, only time will tell — which is not long, the necklace and earrings line is expected to hit the retailers in September.
Now, have an open mind, take a deep breath, close your eyes, open one and steal a glance at some of Allen’s ‘diamond-studded’ doggie pendants/necklaces and earrings that seem inspired by fish hooks:
If there was one thing I could tell the English “IT” girl, it would be, “It’s not me, it’s not you, either, Lily, it’s your jewelry!”

Supermodel Bridget Hall has signed up to be the new face of jewelry for Italian brand Marco Bicego.
Hall, 31, is seen wearing from the brand’s “Jaipur” collection, which includes designs crafted in 18-karat yellow gold with colored gemstones such as amethyst, peridot, blue topaz, and rose and green tourmaline.
By the age of 18, she was listed in Forbes as one of the “best ten” moneymaking supermodels along with Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington. She was a regular in the the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues from 2002 to 2005.
Marco Bicego, the young and charismatic Italian entrepreneur, who kicked off his own brand name jewelry way back in 2000, is said to have created the new collection with his art director Terri Pecora.
The ads, shot by Kenneth Willardt in New York, are set to appear in the March issues of W, C, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar.
