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 and engraved rendition of the zodiac.

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 of an “M” with a loop to represent chastity—the zodiac symbol for Virgo (August 23–September 22). At the centre is a larger Swarovski® crystal embellishment; its chartreuse colour also represents those born under the Earth sign known for loyalty, kindness, practicality and hard work. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
