Add jewelry design to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's resume.
The two have completed a limited edition collection of gold jewelry and silver accessories called The Protector — which is inspired by the snake (see photo left) -- for high-end jeweler Asprey.
Women's Wear Daily reports that Pitt, 45, and Jolie, 34, have been working on the project for more than a year and that their pieces will go on sale at Asprey stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai this week.

Prices start at $525 for a silver baby spoon with a curving, serpent-shaped handle. Other items in the collection: Silver baby gifts such as the spoon, an eggcup, tooth box and picture frame, as well as pendants and rings made from gold and micropavé diamonds, all featuring curving snakes.
Why the snake theme? According to WWD, Jolie was given a ring (not from Asprey) in the shape of a snake while pregnant with Shiloh and considers the reptile a protector of her family.

Proceeds go to Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which Jolie co-founded in 2006. The organization raises awareness and funds to educate child victims of war, conflict and natural disasters.

Jolie declined to talk about their collection, but said in a statement: "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."

It isn't Pitt's first time designing.
In 1996, after getting engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow, he gave her a simple diamond ring that he designed with the help of Italian jeweler Damiani. After wedding Jennifer Aniston in 2000, he collaborated with Damiani to design the wedding bands.

GAG...who cares. Go buy some more kids or something.
Jan...I agree with you! The enemy will try to fool us in all different was, but can only if we let him.
Jan remember the first book of the Bible-what enticed Adam and Eve...a snake.
all I can say Brad & Angelina Thanks giving coming up How about helping your own kind here in USA Starving Children and their family need help start giving back all the money you both made ..........
Must we really quote the bible here? Didn't the bible say something about judging and loving? Jan, you only preach what's in the bible that you find fitting. So it seems true that everything you learned is the opposite because you're full of hate and judgement. Matthew 7:1-3 Do not judge, so that you may not be judged and Mark 12:28-31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Everything I've learned about snakes have been totally the opposite. "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." Mathew 10:16 "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." Luke 10:10 I thank God that he has given us protection and power to TRAMPLE on snakes!
Oh good, because snakes are so famous for protecting people, arenâ??t they? Not biting people or strangling them or pumping them full of so much poison that they stop breathing or dislocating their jaws and swallowing them whole or anything like that. Honestly, snakes are rubbish at protecting people. Unless youâ??re being attacked by a mongoose, of course, but even then thereâ??s a fighting chance that the snake and the mongoose would just gang up and double-team you to death.
Everyone will get a piece of the pie, the distributors, packagers, jewelers etc. By the time the charity gets anything it will probably be 20%-if you doubt me lets see the accounting once the so called jewels are sold. The good thing is the target market is going to have to pay 500.00 and up for these cheap tacky halloween baubles. If they would have targeted the mass market and made it affordable then I am sure many Brangeloonies would be wearing serpents. The Satan worshipers will probably buy the serpent baby spoons in a heart beat. What assinine people Brad and Angelina are an absolute joke and so is The protector line.
The only trash I see are some posters here who cannot appreciate good actors who do unbelievable charity work. The trash posters speak of morals and God over and over again but they seem to forget the phrase Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
no matter how much charity they do they are both still trash that lacks morals.
aristocrat- you are definitely a woman, a gay man, or a very feminine man. noe because you don't find angelina attractive but because your way of speaking (writing) is so chickish...
It's a great idea because jewelry is marked up 300% but AJ and Pitt are obviously not talented and creative people or they would have made rings out of one piece of crystal or something different. Used tourmalines instead of diamonds but they are both uneducated, especially Jolie.
