Get your claws on these favors of fortune
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
The zodiac sign of Scorpio traces its origins back to an ancient Greek myth in which a jealous Apollo asks Mother Earth to create a giant scorpion to sting and kill Orion. With all of this fire and brimstone, it’s easy to understand why people mistake Scorpio for a fire sign—but Scorpio is, in fact, connected to the element of water. And like aquatic associates Cancer and Pisces, Scorpios tend to be passionate, brave, ambitious, loyal and honest. All of these traits are worthy of celebration, so why not treat yourself to a piece that proudly proclaims your positive attributes to the world? We’ve got a few stunning suggestions below.
