After four years of collecting unusual diamonds, Aaron Ruff of the Brooklyn-based jewelry line Digby & Iona has finally launched a line of engagement rings. The collection is called "Inigo & Atreyu," and if you look over the pieces, you'll start to see some other familiar names.

The "Buttercup" is a pear-shaped diamond set in a 14k yellow gold band designed with a wave pattern, for example, while the "Westley" involves a similar band with a rose-cut light blue sapphire. There's also the "Fezzig," the "Falcor," and the "Artax"—basically, all your favorite characters from both The Princess Bride and The Neverending Story. Below, watch Aaron talk about his creative process.
