Skeie’s Jewelers Teams Up with Justin Herbert to Design a Custom Ring for Charity
Eugene, Oregon, July 8th
Long-standing Eugene, Oregon jeweler Skeie’s Jewelers announces their special custom-design collaboration with Justin Herbert, quarterback of the Los Angeles Chargers, with all proceeds going to charity.
Skeie’s Jewelers worked with Herbert to design a custom “O” ring, to commemorate his successful football career at the University of Oregon. It features a solid 18k yellow gold “O” ring design with his number 10 on both sides of the O, and includes his signature engraved on the inside. Only two of these pieces were ever created, with one being for Herbert himself and the other for charity.
100% of the proceeds from the auction of the Herbert “O” Ring will go to KidsSports, a nonprofit organization that provides youth sports programs to Eugene/Springfield. The auction will open at 7:00am PST on July 7th and close on July 10th at 5pm PST. The starting bid is $1000. This particular piece is in correspondence with the Justin Herbert Invitational, which is a private charity event taking place on July 7th, benefitting the same cause. This piece is being opened to the public, to allow those not attending the event to have a chance to acquire a priceless piece of Justin Herbert memorabilia. Bidding is taking place here.
This custom design is not the first time Skeie’s has designed a custom piece for a prominent figure in the Oregon community. Last year, Skeie’s designed a custom “O” ring for Heisman winner, Marcus Mariota, to promote his charity, Motiv8 Foundation. During the 2021 Oregon Football Season, Skeie’s donated 100% of proceeds from their Oregon jewelry collection to the Motiv8 Foundation. The foundation aims to promote underprivileged youth in Hawaii, Oregon and Nevada. Skeie’s was able to raise $10,000 from this campaign alone.
Skeie’s Jewelers owner, Rick Beckett, is thrilled to be teaming up with another famous Duck to raise money for children’s charity. “We value any opportunity we can get to help support the youth of Eugene & Springfield while working with some amazing individuals,” said Beckett.
About Skeie’s Jewelers: Skeie’s Jewelers has been the staple jeweler in the Eugene/Springfield community since 1922. From diamond & gold jewelry to watches, Skeie’s has the perfect piece for any occasion. Located at 10 Oakway Ctr.
