Unique Halos

Every ring can have a special design element! Vary the size and color of your gemstones for an incredible halo, or work with dainty and delicate design elements to create a vintage inspired design.


Dainty Engagement Rings

Mitch studied Sculpture while attending Marylhurst College where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree.  Large abstract steel and metal sculpture were Mitch’s primary focus which translates to many of the jewelry designs he has created while at Green Lake Jewelry.  The mix of different shapes and angles creating asymmetrical designs has always been appealing.  Mitch enjoys creating unusual and dynamic pieces for eclectic and art-focused clientele.  Here are examples of this genre.


Curvy and Sculptural Designs

“OUT OF THIS WORLD”

This intense multi-colored gemstone encrusted ring consists of sapphires,emeralds and opal in a layered composition creating a whirlwind of color and “SPARKLE”!  Anything is possible.


“THE UNCONVENTIONAL WRAP”

Created for bicycle enthusiast Mat S., this unique wrap style creates movement like gears on a bike.  Mitch also created a clever “wheel and spoke” design on the underside of the ring.

Mitch, Awesome! That’s exactly what I wanted.  You nailed it! Thanks, Mat


“GOLDEN FLORALS FOR HARRISON

A round mint Montana sapphire is the center of this opal flower with cabochon opal petals and diamond filled swirls.


“ROARING RING”

Rose gold tigers with hand-engraved stripes face-off against a honeycomb pattern of yellow gold. Interlocking platinum gears finish this incredible multi-metal wedding band design.


Curving organic designs are also marked by Mitch’s sculptural influences. We love how he makes the metal flow as ‘new growth’ and swirling vines.


Flowing Nature Designs

Mitch’s keen eye for balance with organic forms also translates beautifully to swirling two-dimensional patterns in engraving and filigree. Create your own custom pattern with Mitch’s expertise! Listening to a client’s ideas is where Mitch starts the design journey with his clients.
