Hello Kitty as 'Zodiac Kitty'

Filed under: Jewelry

People just can't seem to get enough of Hello Kitty, and although she's a cutie I really don't understand what all the fuss is about. Even fine jewelers like Simmons is jumping on the bandwagon with Kimora Lee Simmons' Hello Kitty collections include Simple Kitty, Princess Kitty, Glam Kitty, and (my favorite) Zodiac Kitty. I'm not even into astrology at all but think it's interesting to see how she Hello Kitty fit into the signs of zodiac, like having a bull suit for the Taurus kitty and making Pisces a pair of little mermaids (mercats?). $700-$980

There's just something about the zodiac that makes it a timeless design option. Despite the often cheesy reputation that astrology has, high-end options for displaying one's sign abound. The latest comes from one of my favorite jewelry designers, the always elegant Temple St. Clair. Her Fall Zodiac collection includes 18K gold pendants with a satin finish and diamond granulation on the back. All twelve signs are represented. Shown here is the Leo pendant which sells for $950.

The latest astrology-themed jewelry, Astercast, comes from the partnership of jewelry designers Ten Thousand Things and astrology consultants Starsky and Cox. The result is the Stellium, a gold necklace which is a cluster of charms associated with the symbols of the various zodiac signs. The necklace shown here represents Pisces, as shown by a charm that reflects its position as the twelfth house and one that denotes the planet Neptune, the ruling planet of Pisces. The Stellium necklaces sell for around $2400 and are available at Barney's (which is hosting a trunk show on December 9).

Marlen Astrologie Pen

We've been covering a lot of cool astrology-related stuff lately. The simple, stylized glyphs work so well as design elements. Marlen's Astrologie fountain pen does more than display the zodicac signs; it also celebrates the history of astrology with a function that shows the planetary hours. A quick turn of the titanium sleeve shows off the planet glyphs associated with the day and hour. I'm not sure how useful this is in our modern age but it is certainly cool. The pen also has a blue titanium barrel and a sterling cap and 18K gold Astrologie fountain pen nib engraved with an strolabe design. The pen is limited to 488 pieces worldwide and has a list price of $3,000.
