​ Hello Adorn

Featuring gold pendants with hand-drawn, floral interpretations of the 12 astrological signs of the Zodiac.

Hello Adorn, the minimalist hand-made jewelry brand, and its new Zodiac Collection – featuring gold pendants with hand-drawn, floral interpretations of the 12 astrological signs of the Zodiac.

These beautiful, blooming symbols, along with the necklace chain, are made with 14kt gold fill and designed by co-founder Jess Gardner. The Zodiac Collection debuts in late July with the advent of Leo, with the pendant and the symbol expressing the vivacious, theatrical and fiery qualities of the astrological sign.

The pieces range from Aries – the almost mirror-image etching of stemmed flowers reflecting the bold and ambitious traits of the astrological sign, to Pisces – the delicate, leafy shoots linked by a blooming flower to symbolize the intuitive, sensitive, and empathetic traits of the sign.
