We love one of a kind pieces, and we’re so excited to feature the rings of Dyke Vandenburgh of Lake Oswego OR’s Vandenburgh Jewelers.

We love how he mixes styles, metals and stones and you can tell that each piece is made to perfection.

Our Favorite Amethyst Rings
February is here and with it comes its birthstone, the beautiful purple amethyst. The name “Amethyst” actually comes from the Ancient Greek meaning “not intoxicated”, a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness. People wore amethysts and made drinking vessels out of it to prevent them from getting drunk.
Magical powers or not, these amethyst rings are gorgeous enough to stand on their own.

The Emerald Engagement Ring
Emerald Green. It’s Pantone’s color of the year and we couldn’t be more in love with this color. Color is everywhere from wedding gowns to engagement rings so why not go bold? We are particularly loving this stunning emerald cut emerald engagement ring from Gemvara.
And this pear emerald engagement ring in a halo setting from Etsy.

September’s birthstone is the gorgeous sapphire and we are in love with this exquisite diamond and sapphire eternity band. The platinum set ring, from Omi Gems, has the perfect combination of bling and color without being too over the top.
