Designer Rachel Roy and British singer Estelle have announced a partnership to create a new line of costume jewelry under Roy''s Rachel brand, which also features handbags, footwear and sportswear.

The limited-edition collection, which will be available beginning next month, gains inspiration from culture, art, music, photography and philanthropy, according to the designers. The line includes a series of necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings that were created with these aspects in mind.

Color played a large role in the design of these accessories, as Roy and Estelle used materials such as resin, hematite and yellow crystal to ensure the collection''s vibrancy.

To allow jewelry fanatics to get a first glimpse of the line, the designers will make some items from the collection available through Rachel Roy''s Facebook page beginning Tuesday morning. The sale will include a special edition ring that will only be available through Thursday.

Pricing for these items ranges between $34 and $195 each and will be available at Macy''s department stores across the country.

In April, Estelle will promote the line by giving shoppers at the Macy''s in New York City''s Herald Square a special performance.
