The 13th Zodiac sign inspires this new jewellery collection

Yes, you did read that correctly – Stephen Webster’s Astro Balls offering depicts the little-known house of Ophiuchus

Whether you’re swapping Co-Star details with your Hinge match to work out whether it’s worth dragging yourself on a first date or not, or blaming basically every little thing that goes wrong on Mercury being Retrograde, over the course of the last few years we’ve become more obsessed with astrology than ever. 

Tapping into that fixation is London jeweller Stephen Webster, who this week releases a new necklace collection he’s dubbed Astro Balls: The Second Coming. Having first debuted a set of similar styles back in 2007, the necklaces depict the signs of the Zodiac – as crafted from 18ct gold.

At the centre of each is the ‘Astro Ball’ itself, which takes the form of a pure pearl. Additionally, each one can also be worn as an earring with sleepers also available (ideal for all those indecisive Geminis out there, obvs). 

The collection is completed with something of a curveball: a 13th necklace depicting the 13th Zodiac sign. Falling between November and December, Ophiuchus is represented by a serpent with a black pearl at its centre, and designed for those who live close to the edge, by their own rules. Who knew?

Head here to see the full collection.
