Luxury jeweller Asprey is teaming up with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to launch a new range of gold and other jewellery and accessories.

According to Women's Wear Daily, the couple have designed a collection of items entitled The Protector, with each piece based on a serpentine style.

Rings, pendants, earrings and men's cufflinks form part of the range alongside baby gifts such as eggcups, spoons, photo frames and tooth boxes.

The snake-based design of each piece came about because Jolie received a serpent-shaped ring when pregnant with daughter Shiloh and has considered the snake to be a protective talisman ever since.

All of the net profits from sales of the range will be donated to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which aims to help educate children who have been victims of war, conflicts and natural disasters.

The collection will go on sale at Asprey stores in London, Beverly Hills, New York, Tokyo and Dubai later this month.

Asprey was founded in 1781 and is based in London.

One of its most famous ranges is the Asprey Coronation Year Gold Collection, which was launched in 1953 for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and included an 18-c gold dessert, coffee and liqueur service weighing nearly 27 pounds.
