Radiant personalities, fierce independence and unwavering confidence characterize the lions of the zodiac. And if you were born between July 23 and August 22 — or have someone in your life who is — they’re a Leo. Here’s what you need to know about this astrological sign and its characteristics, along with some Leo jewelry gift ideas for yourself or the ones you love.
The Leo Look
What do Megan Markle, Madonna and Daniel Ratcliffe have in common? They all fall under Leo zodiac sign dates. You don’t have to be a princess, iconic singer or Harry Potter to embody the qualities of a Leo, though. This fire sign features a lion symbol and represents courage, strength and determination. They’ve also got loyalty and generosity going for them in their Leo personalities, making them loyal friends or partners. If you know a Leo, you also know that they can be stubborn at times and maybe even impatient. Leos also love the limelight, so it’s no surprise that Kylie Jenner and J. Lo are in the Leo club. Regardless, Leos are natural-born leaders and know how to own any room — or red carpet — they walk into (or onto).
Jewelry Fit for a Leo
As a constellation, Leo contains a multitude of universes. This 12th largest constellation in the night sky takes on the shape of a pouncing lion, its feet planted and its paws up, complete with a flowing mane of stars. Throughout history, the lion features prominently in the courts of Egyptian pharaohs, as statues outside 16th-century cathedrals and even on British pounds in the Victorian era. That’s why the Leo zodiac sign is suggestive of a lion’s head and stately mane.
And as Leos exude confidence, charisma and creativity — along with that undeniable love for the spotlight — Leo zodiac jewelry is the perfect way to express the fire sign’s radiant personality.
Iconic Accessories to Channel Leo Energy
Leos should wear accessories that radiate confidence, glamour and individuality. Ruled by the sun, this fire sign naturally gravitates toward bold and luxurious pieces that reflect their dynamic energy, whether it’s a showstopping necklace or engagement ring, oversized sunglasses, eye-catching bags or colorful dresses. When it comes to Leo jewelry, gold is hands-down better for Leos. This fire sign thrives in the warmth and brilliance of gold, which complements their radiant personalities and solar energy. Gold also symbolizes power, wealth and confidence, all traits closely associated with Leo.
