Description
The zodiac has a long, rich history that dates back to Hellenic and Babylonian civilizations, when astrology and astronomy were virtually inseparable. Today, its 12 signs entertain, intrigue or inspire millions of people worldwide, who find hope or guidance in the cyclical alignment of the stars and planets! The stars align in the 2017 Zodiac series, which features sparkling Swarovski® crystal embellishments within a coloured an engraved rendition of the zodiac.
The Design:
The reverse design by Pandora Young features an eye-catching combination of colour and engraving that results in a beautifully artistic rendition of the zodiac. Like the stars and planets in the sky, a clear Swarovski® crystal embellishment is in alignment with a traditional glyph representing an “M” with a scorpion’s stinger—the zodiac symbol for Scorpio (October 23–-November 21). At the centre is a larger Swarovski® crystal embellishment; its sky-blue colour also represents those born under the Water sign known for resourcefulness, bravery, passion and assertiveness. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blun.
The clear embellishment aligns with each zodiac symbol, while the larger embellishment at the centre represents the sign’s colour.
