Our Good Giving Guide: Luxurious Gifts with a Conscience

A-listers Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt just launched their latest charitable effort—a jewelry line for Asprey. The high-end collection includes earrings, pendants, bangles, rings, silver spoons, and egg cups, and are all snake-themed. Net proceeds go to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, an organization to which the Jolie-Pitt Foundation already donated $1 million in June 2008. The inspiration for the stars’ slithering sparklers was, as People reports, a gift Jolie received while pregnant with her first biological daughter, Shiloh, in 2006—a snake ring mean to protect the mother and her unborn child. “She has seen the snake symbol as a protective talisman for her family,” an Asprey source said. The couple’s twins have been seen wearing pieces from the limited edition Protector Collection, which began as a children’s jewelry line.
