Custom Ruthie B. Ring

$4,000+
ONE OF A KIND: Ships in 8-12 weeks

The Ruthie B. is a love letter to the ocean, family, and the places that make us feel at home. With a custom Ruthie B., you get to make that story your own.

Choose your metal, your stone, and the amount of barnacle magic you want to make your ring uniquely yours.

Custom Ruthie B. rings are made to order and typically take 2–4 months to complete. Prices start at $4,000, with diamond versions and large sapphire versions generally starting around $8,000 and increasing depending on the size, quality, and character of the stone. Because each custom ring is made specifically for you, pricing will typically be higher than that of a similar ring from our current collection online. 

Complete the form below to begin the custom process. Once submitted, you’ll hear from our studio within 2–3 business days. Together, we’ll help you find the right stone and work through all the details that will make this ring your own!

It’s a little bit of ocean, a little bit of family history, and a whole lot of you.

THE ANATOMY OF THE RUTHIE B. RING

Like tiny ocean blossoms, the barnacles on our jewelry hold the rough-and-tumble nostalgia of the sea. Each one is hand-carved in wax by Hannah and cast into fine metal, gathering in quiet clusters that speak to the resilience of holding fast through changing tides

Cradled in a smooth bezel, the gemstone feels tucked safely into place, protected from the bumps and snags of everyday life. The band carries a satisfying weight and gently narrows toward the stone, drawing the eye to what matters most.

We pride ourselves in seeking out gemstones with uncommon beauty: vivid hues, distinctive inclusions, and an unmistakable sense of character. Hand-selected one by one, each is entirely unique, a reminder that true beauty is never uniform.

Each piece is crafted in solid, high-quality precious metal - never plated. Our signature matte finish honors the material, allowing it to soften and evolve with wear, developing a natural patina that tells the story of the wearer.

Tiny diamonds nestle within the barnacles like drops of seawater caught in the tide, revealing themselves only when the light finds them. Their sparkle is subtle and fleeting, a hidden treasure tucked among the textures of the sea.

Custom Ring FAQ

For custom Ruthie B. rings, prices start around $4,000. If you want a diamond Ruthie B. ring or a Ruthie B. ring with a larger (10mm+) sapphire, then the starting price is typically around $8,000 and will increase depending on the size, quality, and character of the stone. Because each custom ring is made specifically for you, pricing will typically be higher than that of a similar ring from our current collection online.

Custom Ruthie B. rings are made to order and typically take 2–4 months to complete. That said, always feel free to reach out. Sometimes we are able to do rush orders.

Once you complete this online form, we will typically reach out in 1-3 business days (it can be longer during the holidays). During our initial exchange, we will walk through some basic questions to help determine how best to proceed. Often we jump right into stone shopping (the best part)!

After our initial consultation and follow up meetings (as applicable), we will provide an estimated project quote (often as a range). Since Ruthie B. rings are fairly time consuming to build, we require an initial deposit equal to either the price of the gemstone being purchased for this project or 50% of the project quote (whichever is higher). Please note: All project deposits are non-refundable.

Upon project completion, we will reach out to you with images and finalized costs. Once your final invoice is paid, we will coordinate shipping. All shipments are insured and require a signature upon delivery.

Click on the "CUSTOM" link at the top of our website to learn more about how we manage custom projects.

We have you covered! We recommend checking out our Ring Sizer Loan Program (we can't hyperlink for some reasons so just search for "Ring Sizer" on our website). You will also find a number of tips and tricks by clicking on the Ring Sizing Guide at the bottom of our website.

And, as always, feel free to also contact the studio with any questions!

This is something we can brainstorm on together as we work through your custom ring, so no worries.

That said, if you want to get a head start then we recommend borrowing one of the recipient’s rings (preferably one that is worn on the intended finger) and having a local jeweler (or us!) size the ring. Keep in mind that a narrower band will fit looser on a finger than a wider band, so try to borrow a ring that has a similar band width to the ring being gifted.

And keep in mind that we can always resize the ring after it is gifted!

Yep! Reach out after you receive your ring and we can work together on determining the correct size.

As an FYI, our custom rings are resized by our talented friend outside of the studio. Since he is located on the other side of the city, it can take up to four weeks for this process (accounting for all the back and forth).

Figuring out the perfect size when you have larger knuckles can be a challenge. As artists that work with our hands and, therefore, tend to have larger knuckles, we get it! The good news is that we have a few options available (including sizing beads). Just ask!

If you need a custom size (including quarter sizes or sizes not seen on our website), just let us know! We are happy to accommodate.
