Beyond Zodiac Jewelry and Star Sign Necklaces: The Perfect Jewelry and Message for Your Sign

“Hey, what’s your sign?”

Zodiac signs are known for their mysterious ability to tell us about a person’s character. Some are synonymous with being bold and daring (hey, Aries!). Others go hand in hand with introversion and are known for being emotional (what’s up, Cancer?). And others are seen as being mercurial and secretive (we see you, Libra). 

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told someone that I’m an Aquarius only to hear, “That explains so much.”

Whether you can’t tell a Capricorn from a Pisces, or you plan your schedule around your daily horoscope, chances are your sign has some interesting things to say about you. And if your zodiac sign plays a big part in your style choices, zodiac jewelry can seem like the ultimate form of self-expression. 

Our mission is to take self-expression a step further.  Consider coming on a journey with us beyond the classic star sign necklace or birthstone jewelry to share your deeper narrative. 

We have a piece of zodiac-inspired jewelry for each star sign and have curated the messages that you might want to wear inside, based on what it is you’re looking to express through more traditional zodiac jewelry. 

So, what’s the perfect piece of zodiac-inspired jewelry for you and what message should you wear based on your sign?

Aries: March 21 - April 19

WHY?
Aries is the most ambitious of the zodiac signs. As an Aries you’re willing to take risks, even if you’re terrified the whole way through. You are tuned into the fact that high risk can lead to high reward, which motivates you to push forward.

The adrenaline rush that you experience in the process makes it all worth it. This message is a reminder to stay true to your zodiac roots and stare down your next challenge.

So, what's the perfect Aries zodiac jewelry alternative?
Consider a ring that quietly reinforces your bravery and ability to step out of your comfort zone.

Taurus: April 20 - May 20

You’re reliable, patient and practical. You appreciate relaxation and have a go-with-the-flow personality. It's inevitable that you’ll love music and romance, but your well-grounded personality prevents you from falling so uncontrollably in love that you can’t see straight, unlike some of your other zodiac sisters.

You aim to surround yourself with beauty in a unique and generous way: by proactively looking for the good qualities in every aspect of life and the people around you.That said, you’re not naive or easily swayed: you stick to your opinion--perhaps because you’ve taken your sweet time to arrive at it--and are often very stubborn.

Taurus's Perfect Message:

“Don’t be in a hurry in the short term for things you want to last in the long term.”

WHY?
Life moves fast. It seems like everyone is in such a hurry to grow up or get to their next stop. You, Taurus, have your values and goals set and plan to stick with them. But sometimes with everything happening around you, you might get caught up in the commotion. This is a quick reminder to stick to your true self and do your own thing.

So, what's the perfect Taurus zodiac jewelry alternative?
A capsule is a moment frozen in time, and you like to cherish the moments that impact you--or actively manifest future moments for yourself. Some people like to skip right to the good part (the same type of people who start at the last chapter of books), but not you, Taurus.

Gemini's Perfect Fortune:

“It’s time for a good ol’ fashioned adventure.”

WHY?
Spontaneous is your middle name, Gemini! You want to explore the world around you as much as possible, and love to venture on new journeys. You value the time you spend making memories with friends, which makes you a great traveling companion. Though you may be indecisive sometimes, one thing a Gemini will never hesitate to do is take a last-minute trip.

So, what's the perfect Gemini zodiac jewelry alternative?
You need a constant reminder that there will always be a new adventure to embark.

WHY?
Cancer, you're full of love, spreading it to all of your friends and family. You must remember to give some of that love and care to yourself as well. Prioritize your own happiness like you do the happiness of others. Think of this as a love letter to yourself, Cancer.

So, what's the perfect Cancer zodiac jewelry alternative?
A traditional zodiac necklace might not capture the fact that you’re the heart and soul of your family. This locket pays homage to your immense compassion and easily-sparked friendships with others. After all, you are the heart of your family and friends, and you truly care for those close to you.

You look to collaborate with people who have similar opinions and beliefs as you. Although you can be a bit prideful at times, — don’t think we’re letting you off the hook for that, Leo —you fiercely defend who you are and the life you have created for yourself.

Leo’s Perfect Message:

"Lead with love and kindness."
- Ashley Graham

WHY?

You consider friends to be members of your family. You hold the relationships you’ve formed to the highest regard. You also tend to make decisions passionately, based on what your heart says, rather than what your head tells you. Wear this message as a way of recognizing that it’s not just chance you’re often in charge--and to remind you of the way you want to lead.

Virgo: August 23 - September 22

You’re hardworking, kind and analytical. Virgo, you are a perfectionist and an over-thinker at times. You pay close attention to little details and are extremely organized. You’re also goal-oriented and are never afraid to roll up your sleeves and do the work to get to where you dream to be. But you’re not just a worker bee: You have a deep sense of humanity, connecting fluidly with nature and the people you care about.

So, what's the perfect Virgo zodiac jewelry alternative?
As an Earth sign, you’re one with nature and understand the meaning of working to get where you need to be. But las we mentioned, even though you share a dedicated work ethic with worker bees, you don’t simply take orders. You think through all the details for yourself and move forward deliberately.

_ZODIAC-Virgo

Libra: September 23 - October 22

You're social, gracious and cooperative. Sometimes you’re seen as quirky and whenever you meet another Libra, it’s always a revelation when you discover your shared sign. “That explains so much!”

Libra’s Perfect Fortune:

“Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.” - Socrates

WHY?
Libras tend to be surrounded by a lot of people, but form the strongest bonds with a select few. You seek others who will push you out of your comfort zone, and as a Libra, you make it a priority to put these friends first. This message is a reminder to invest in the relationships you’ve committed to.

So, what's the perfect Libra zodiac jewelry alternative?
As a Libra, you understand that showing off your winning personality doesn’t require special effects and theatrics. You’re not flashy, but there’s an understated--and sometimes underestimated--strength in your grace and kindness. You appreciate the simpler things in life.
