THE MEANING BEHIND Ruthie B.

“Named after my father’s fishing vessel, the Ruthie B. collection honors the beauty and the unpolished allure of the ocean that shaped my life.” ~ Hannah
VIEW COLLECTION

0.895ct Emerald.

Solid 14k gold ring with platinum barnacles. All metal has a matte finish.

The setting measures approx. 8.2 x 8.45mm. The stone measures approx. 6.8mm.

The ring is size 7. Please note: ring resizing can add up to 4 weeks to your shipping estimate. Resized rings are not eligible for return or exchange.

We intentionally choose gemstones with natural inclusions, and some may also feature subtle surface texture. These characteristics are part of what makes each stone unique, and one of the things we love most about natural gemstones.

Emerald gemstones are a green variety of the beryl mineral, which also includes aquamarine. Some gemstone dealers refer to the inclusions of emeralds as the jardin, or garden. HBJ loves emeralds for their complex inclusions and rich, green hues that embody Mother Nature's favorite season: spring.
Origins: Various
MOHs Hardness: 7.5-8 but brittle due to common inclusions
Treatment: All emeralds are oiled unless otherwise stated. This treatment is a centuries old industry standard.
Care: Emeralds are a relatively hard gemstone, but due to their inclusions they are quite brittle: avoid knocking or dropping them onto hard surfaces. To clean your emerald piece, use warm water with mild soap and a soft toothbrush or cloth. Do not use a steam cleaner or ultrasonic cleaner

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.

This product has no reviews of its own. The merchant grouped it with related products, so the reviews shown are from across that group.

It's a beautiful piece! I love Hannah's drawings

It's a beautiful piece! I love Hannah's drawings. I would prefer a gold bezel around this piece w a silver backing and chain... but it works really well without the bezel too. IF the drawing itself was a little bigger that would be awesome! I look forward to future pieces!

Hanna’s magic strikes again

Hanna’s magic strikes again. The scrimshaw pieces have always intrigued me but wanted to wait for something that matches my style. This sweet sea nettle is a testimony to Hanna’s steady hand and it’s a lovely day to day piece. I have not taken it off once.

Oh my gosh! These pearls! The Magnolias!

Oh my gosh! These pearls! The Magnolias are gorgeous with their lavender pink hues. So so pretty! And of course adorned with the gold barnacles these pearls are extra special! The hook clasp is funky and fun and matches the sea vibe of the barnacles so I enjoy putting the clasp on the side to be shown not hidden since the fish hook clasp is so unique and Ruthie B Special Delight!

Beautiful and artistic look with great patina

I really love them 💕

The one thing I am working on is to try to make the ear wires longer and thus easier to use (for me).

Heirloom scrimshaw

I absolutely LOVE my scrimshaw mother of pearl mermaid made by Hannah! I am always looking for unique pieces, and this feels luxurious and from another time. The detail is exquisite. I had excellent communication from the team. Shipping was fast and secure. I highly recommend purchasing from this jeweler, especially if you want an heirloom quality piece. I feel special every time I wear my mermaid!

This necklace is aptly named 'enchanted'

This necklace is aptly named 'enchanted.' Hannah has a unique gift in her ability to 'read' each stone's unique attributes, and dialogue with her materials accordingly. When I wear this, I morph into a miniature mermaid, with this as my pool. Amazing craftswomanship.

Hannah's Scrimshaw! 💙🩵💙

Oh my gosh...Hannah's art work of the Seaborn Nautilus is absolutely beautiful. I picked this Scrimshaw because the Nautilus is ancient and mysterious in it's alien underworld beauty. I treasure this special piece dearly as it is a little work of art on my neck. A reminder life is precious and there are many mysteries we do not understand above and below...but the Nautilus knows...

One of a kind piece from a one of a kind artist for a one of a kind gal

BIOLUME PEARL NECKLACE

I adore the simple pearl necklace with gold barnacles attached to the pearl. It's what a mermaid would wear.

Hauntingly Gorgeous

Crafted from experts. The lunar color of the sapphire occupies a liminal space betwixt pale gray and pale green, invoking the realm of lunar mysticism. The muted gold on the band is subtle and very complementary to the muted gem. If you are into flashy, look-at-my-blood-diamond ring and how much my husband makes rings, this is not for you. If you have tempered-earthy, sustainably harvested, and visceral tastes, this is your huckleberry. She absolutely loves it.
