Sabrina Meyns / Åsa Halldin / Silastones (Ponsawan Sila)

Dandelions are a great symbol for the end of summer — a burst of warm, bright yellow which then fades and blows away into the autumn wind. Nope, the truth in this ring cannot be denied: September is right around the corner. Ring by Ireland's Sabrina Meyns.

Above, another ring vaguely reminiscent of dandelion seeds, from Sweden's Åsa Halldin.
