Tip the scales in your favor with these Zodiac-inspired pieces

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Libra is closely related to Virgo, and not just in terms of proximity on the calendar. According to Greek mythology, when the star maiden Astraea departed Earth to become the constellation Virgo, she carried with her the scales of justice—the origins of the constellation Libra. Before the Roman Empire, Libra was also considered to be a part of the constellation Scorpius, hanging in the balance, as it were, between practical Virgo and passionate Scorpio.

With this balancing act of an origin story, Libras tend to be diplomatic and equitable, seeking justice and acting as the natural arbitrators of their social circles. Holding everything in harmony is hard work, and since Libra’s gravitate toward beauty and excitement, we rounded up the most beautiful, exciting, Libra-inspired pieces we could find so you can treat yourself this month—after all, it’s only fair.


Gold Zodiac Ring

Inspired by art and architecture, Ashley McCormick was just a senior in college when she began her eponymous brand. Her love of art history can be seen in pieces like this ring, where the scales of Libra (fun fact: Libra is the only Zodiac symbol represented by an inanimate object) are delicately carved in relief on shimmering mother-of-pearl.

Zodiac Constellation Pendant

As owner Leslie Panowicz says, “Jewelry is a small item given with great intent and meaning. It can help you convey everything that you can't articulate and put into words with a small token.” Treat yourself to this small token. Inscribed with the Libra constellation against hammered gold, it contains the great meaning of your star sign.
