ATLANTA – January  11, 2012 - The 2012 spring/summer jewelry collection from ali & bird captures the warmth, vibrancy and natural beauty of the upcoming season. The line is comprised of four primary color stories, each featuring ali & bird’s signature chunky necklaces and bracelets made with semi-precious stones, as well as flowing amoeba chain necklaces anchored by colorful geodes and Drüzy that add sparkle and pops of color.

Drawing inspiration from the rich color tones that dot the landscape, designer Ali Howell built a color palette for spring that mimics the soul of the season. Bursting rich colors are balanced by crisp linen and texture, creating a collection that will effortlessly accessorize the colorful fashions planned for Spring /Summer 2012.

• Refreshingly cool seaside blues feature pieces made with turquoise, sea agate and teal crystal, highlighted with amazonite and ombre crystal.
• Crisp natural linen offers a neutral break for the smoldering summer through the use of natural paired with mint and chocolate agate or chrysoprase and honey jade.
• Juicy citrus pieces bring to mind tangerines, limes, and lemons through the use of jade, quartz and agate.
• Pretty poppy is all about bright splashes of coral paired with Dalmatian jasper or framed inside gold amoeba chains.

Because each ali & bird piece is handcrafted using natural stones, no two are exactly the same. The collection includes necklaces, bracelets and earrings at price points that range from $50 to $200.
