Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt design jewelry

Brangelina can now add jewelry designers to their resume! According to Women's Wear Daily, they have signed an exclusive deal with Asprey that will feature a gold and silver jewelry collection that is inspired by snakes. Their line, The Protector, will hit Aspey stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai later this week. The sad part is that I probably won't be able to afford it! Even though the prices have yet to be confirmed, they did say that a silver baby spoon with a curving, serpent-shaped handle will cost around $525.

Who would have ever thought that Brad and Angelina would ever become designers but they both conceived and designed the idea! It all started when Angelina was pregnant with their Shiloh, their daughter, and she was given a ring. The ring was in a shape of a snake and ever since then she has always seen the snake as her family's protector. Since then, she has always wanted a reptile-inspired theme jewelry collection.

Even though this will be a high end brand, all net proceeds from each sale will go to the Education Partnership for Children in Conflict. Angelina Jolie started that co founded that organization in 2006. In 2001 she was named the a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and since then she has been visiting third world countries and helping people in need of food, shelter and a home. She has since been more interesting in helping the children so when she founded this charity, she wanted to raise awareness and funds to educate child victims of war, conflict and natural disasters.

In a joint quote, Jolie and Pitt said, "These 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."

I think it is such a great blessing when celebrities use their power to help out other in need. God knows how much money this couple has so it's good that full proceeds will go to such an amazing organization that really starts with the children, who will be able to succeed more in life with an education and will push to strive for a better tomorrow and take care of their parents and future children.
