Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt design for Asprey

London–Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are famous for juggling their film schedules with philanthropic efforts that take them around the globe, all while playing parents to six kids, but the Hollywood power couple has lately gotten even busier: They’ve dipped into jewelry design.

British jewelry brand Asprey recently announced the launch of the “Protector Collection,” featuring limited-edition fine jewels and silver objects designed in collaboration with Jolie and Pitt.

Each piece in the collection features a snake motif, one that Asprey said Jolie chose 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.

Each piece in the collection was handcrafted at Asprey’s London flagship store, and the designs are available now.

Given that this is a Jolie-Pitt venture, the collection also has a philanthropic bent. All net proceeds will be donated to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, a nonprofit organization that seeks out donors and identifies new and innovative projects to provide education for children affected by conflict, violence, war or natural disaster.

Take Care Of Your Beautiful Ornaments

Please Note : Pure Silver will never cause  contact dermatitis.So, Be sure You have choosen the Real Tiffany Jewellery.

A few days ago, Miss Wang bought a pair of unique earrings in a street stall. Not long after she put them on , her ears got itching, swelling, and pierced parts of her ears outflow pus. Hospital dermatologist diagnosed that she had contact dermatitis.

According to dermatologist introduction, contact dermatitis caused by wearing metal ornaments is usually called the “jewelry disease.” This is because susceptible contacts ornaments containing some metals, such as nickel and chromium��which induce allergic reactions. Chromium and nickel are the most common allergic sources of contact dermatitis in recent years, and the ratio of chromium and nickel allergic females to males is about 10 to 1. About 9.3% of China dermatology patients are caused by wearing ornaments. Common jewelry, such as rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, watches, spectacle frames, underwear clasp and metal lines contained scarf, all contains chromium and nickel and makes directly contacted skin get inflammation. Its main symptoms are a sense of itching and burning sensation, but it can also appear erythema, papules, erosion and so on, the worst may manifest ulcers, asthma or urticaria, and systemic disease. Some people’s allergic symptoms only manifest in the jewelry contacted skin, such as ears, neck, wrists, fingers, etc.; there may be systemic allergic reactions to some others. First, skin becomes inflamed and then small papules and hydroa come, making the whole body extremely uncomfortable. Under normal circumstances, jewelry caused allergic reactions can be cured by the use of some drugs on the outer skin. However, if the skin is stimualted repeatedly by the inflammation, it may induce malignant lesions and even cancers.

Bacteria’s Seedbed

The skin covered by rings are not easy to clean and will become a breeding bed for bacteria. Hoffman,a  microbiologists of the UK Central Public Health Laboratory, did a five months’ survey to 50 females who had long-term wearing of gold rings. It is said that bacteria’s quantity in the place coverd by rings is 9 times higher than no rings places. In addition, if the ring wears too tight, it will impact finger blood circulation, resulting in finger deformity.

Doctors piont out that not all jewelry has allergic reactions to susceptible. Pure gold and silver jewelry or high-grade jade jewelry rarely cause allergy, while some low-grade decorative jewelry or chemical treated jade ornaments were easily lead to allergic reactions. Therefore, susceptible  population should avoid wearing gold-plated, silver-plated, chromium, nickel or other easily triggering dermatitis ornaments. Nickel silver and chrome alloy ornaments should not be worn often. Susceptible, especially children, should not wear metal ornaments. Jewelry  should not be worn often in summer because of sweating. Rings should not wear too tight, not to use wool wound ring. To avoid wearing jewelry all day and night, devloping the habit of taking jewelry off at night. No ornaments night can not only rest the skin but also reduce harmful radioactive sources by half. Some people are too lazy to remove earing accessories when they are sleeping, which will inevitably cause post-auricular skin injuries. Also some others like to sleep with their watches put on. On one hand, it is not conducive to the arm blood circulation, on the other hand, if the watch is luminous, the fluorescent radiation will cause injury to the body.

Tips: Jewellery should be washed often and worn regularly as well as Tiffanys.

No matter how beautiful the jewelry is, it can not be worn all the time, otherwise it may be harmful to your health. For example, some people wear rings in their hands all the year round, as a result, the fingers skin is tight hooped by rings; muscles and bones sunken into a ring malformation, affecting blood circulation. The fingers will become numb, acid swelling, pain, or even partial necrosis. So one should not wear rings too tight, and should take them off his fingers often and do some add-activities. Some girls do not take off their earrings when they sleep. Cheeks would be easily hurt by the metal hook on the earringsor a hard object in that way. It’s not advantage in maintaining Tiffany earrings.

Moreover, long-term wearing jewelry, the skin around it is difficult to clean. Especially in summer when there will be a large number of human perspiration. If one does not pay much attention to sanitation, pathogenic microorganisms are easy to reproduce in this breed, or intrusion into the skin, affecting his health.

Experts warn that the often-worn jewelry must be took off often and cleaned. This can not only maintain the jewelry itself bright and clean as new, but also very useful to the health of the keepers. It is worth noting that jewelry cleaning has many taboos, it may damage jewelry itself if it is treated incorrectly. It’d better invite professional cleaning staff to carry out the maintenance.
