We love Brett Rubbico, an up-and-coming jewelry designer whose unique pieces are influenced by the modern masters such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko.

Rubbico, who's garnering buzz in OC's artsy crowd, is a Costa Mesa-based designer who studied and lived in Florence.

Rubbico designs handcrafted jewelry in diverse materials: stainless steel, platinum, gold, sterling silver, aluminum and rough and finished cut diamonds. He juxtaposes fine diamonds with stainless steel on bands, melding precious with pedestrian materials.

Now you can shop online for his jewelry designs or locally at chic boutiques like Goat in Costa Mesa, Harlow at The LAB, the Living Room Salon and Art Gallery in Costa Mesa, the Orange County Museum of Art, Eric Hanaan at Crystal Cove Promenade and L'Zev at Hyatt Resort & Spa in Huntington Beach.

For Greer's OC subscribers, Rubbico is offering a special limited edition online purchase: Buy two stainless steel or gold finish rings in the same size, and receive one stainless steel same-size ring complimentary (a $160 retail savings).

The ring is designed in an octahedral defined shape, with fancy intense canary color, and premium graded pure diamond crystals. The carat weight depends on ring size. The diamonds are micro pavé set on polished, solid stainless steel ring, or 24-karat pure yellow gold finish. You can wear the stainless steel with the gold finish for a striking contrast. The rings arrive in a custom designed solid wood display keepsake box.
