Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Design Snake-Inspired Jewelry For Charity

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are designing a collection of snake-inspired gold and silver jewelry and accessories with Asprey, and according to company officials and WWD, the line will go on sale at Asprey stores later this week.

The aptly titled limited edition "Protector" collection was in the works for more than a year, and all net proceeds from sales will go to Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which Jolie co-founded in 2006. As you may recall, the charity raises awareness and money to help and educate child victims of war, conflict and natural disasters. Prices start at $525, and even though that seems a bit steep, it is some pretty snazzy bling, and since the money goes to charity, we can't exactly call Brangelina greedy!

So why the snake? According to WWD, Angelina was given a snake ring while she was pregnant with Shiloh, and she considers the serpent to be a protector of her family.

Though Brangelina wouldn't comment on the collection itself, they did discuss the goals of the charity, saying, “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.”

Check out the gallery below to see all of the pieces the Hollywood supercouple designed for Asprey!



At least the money is going to charity...those are some seriously pricey jewels!

The jewelry is very nice! I already own a massive gold neckpiece with a snake on the front, and I have a matching 14kt snake ring. Still looking to find earrings.

How about supporting charities right here in the country that made you rich? There are millions of desperate folk right here in America.

Here comes the predictable blizzard of charity ploys to distract from bad press. Then pr trolls go on blogs and shake their finger at people saying how dare you criticize such charitable saints. LOL.

What is the definition of "net proceeds?" After they take their cut of the profit?

Perfect for Jolie.... snake tramp... perfect....lol lol lol

Why don't they get their hands dirty if they're so saintly, get food flown in to hungry people, pick up a shovel and help ravaged villages. Something direct and purposeful besides smiling for cameras and making jewelry.

Who the heck needs or can afford overpriced gaudy jewelry in this world economy? Looks like an ego stroke for them more than anything useful for others.

Even though they are gorgeous, they are dorks! He has become a rebel wannabe and she has always been so weird.

Long lost friends ! Angie and snake looked perfect by each other side ! They chose the right thing to made !

Such a bunch of greedy and selfish little pigs you are. Other countries are in dire need, Americans are just simply very greedy and think they need the finest laptop and sneakers. America is the richest and still some dimwits take it for granted. Your gov't handout isn't enough? If you really cared about the homeless in America go sell your laptop and do your part.

Doing their part building schools, clinics, homes, adopting orphans and supporting war vets and thier families. Never ending mission to speak for the sick and dying, going to congress and actually getting things passed. Perfect power couple getting things done. You may not like them but that doesn't mean you should get a free pass not doing some good yourself for others.

Instead of a line expensive stuff only rich people can afford, why not design a line of eco-friendly grocery bags people can take to the super market?

Also, didn't Brad design a line of jewelry with Jen too? LOL.

10:21 - 10:30

What took you so long? Your pathetic old troll speech right on cue. LOLz.

Just out of curiosity 10:3OAM- what laws have Brad and Angelina passed? And next time, instead of speaking for the sick and dying, maybe they could get the camera off themselves for a few seconds and let the sick and dying speak for themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are they making money off this (aside from the obvious pr boost?)

Net proceeds is vague.

Poor, poor refugee, we care so much about you. We may not let you share your story with the world, but we will make sure the world knows that WE came to listen.

Right on, 10:46. They haven't gotten legislation passed. Nor have they spoken to congress. Don't co-opt Nicole Kidman. She went to Congress and did it quietly and tastefully.

That book said they are waiting to officially split until next year. Is it because of contracts like this that would be ruined if they publicly split now?

The BRAND-gelina brand is pretty lucrative for them. Brad has to get through Oscar season with Inglorious Basterds. No break up until after that.

trés chic et trés jolie...bonne initiative d`Angelina...bravo!!!



Posted by: dookie

Just the design I would expect from the pit viper whore. Some pretty tack shit. What next a line of semi permanent tattoos?



Posted by: Anonymous

In all fairness, they're both "whores."

snake = devil

A good cause however it doesn't suprise me that she chooses a serpent as her protector-The jewelry is tacky/cheap and looks like you could find it in .25Cent machine. For the next line she'll probably have spiders-fits them perfectly!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

ain't these designs of Anita Ko??



Posted by: Matt

It pretty tacky, the ring would catch on
everything so you would have to really
be careful where you wore it. It fits
her through. Really pretty fitting for
them. They are asking you to put up the
money so they can look wonderful. Same
old, same old.

The jewellery is very fitting for them....SNAKES....and they need to slither back under their rocks. Something must be up, they're out doing self-serving charity acts once again. And I emphasize self-serving. I can hardly wait for Jolie's perfume....Eau d'cuont.



Posted by: FAN

It is no big deal. They just design their own image ! The snake & Angie suit each other anyway. Brad Pitt has a good judgement.

they picked the right reptile...

I completely agree it DOES fit them and it IS tacky!!! Hate it. At least the rings HE designed for himself and his (gorgeous) once wife-to-be for their wedding were classy and quite simple.
