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

Herkimer "diamonds" are raw quartz crystals mined exclusively in Herkimer, NY. Nearly 500 millions years old, these gemstones are naturally formed with 18 facets, 6 sides, and 2 points, holding history within their unique inclusions. 

Some of HBJ’s favorite variations include...
COLOR VEIL: A healed fracture that reflects light like a rainbow of shattered glass.
SKELETAL CRYSTAL: A depressed cavern formed during the growth stage of the stone. This indentation is patterned with multiple parallel lines stepping toward the top of the crystal.
PIGGYBACK: A baby crystal growing out of the surface of a larger crystal.
SOLID INCLUSION: A mineral caught within the crystal. This mineral is often black anthraxolite, adding dark specks to the stone.
SMOKY CRYSTAL: A pale grey to black discoloration resembling wisps of smoke.
Origins: Herkimer, NY
MOHs Hardness: 7.5
Care: Quartz is relatively durable, but not invinceable. Avoid dropping them onto hard surfaces. Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap, scrubbing away dirt with a soft brush if necessary. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners.

THE ANATOMY OF HBJ STRANDS

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

Carved by hand in fine metals and varying sizes, the fishhook clasp draws from those used by Hannah’s father aboard the Ruthie B. Meant to be seen, it often rests at the front, serving as both a closure and an element of design: an homage to the sea.

Each strand is knotted with silk thread in vivid, unexpected hues- greens, reds, blues- that bring the design to life. The colors are hand-chosen, adding a subtle, playful energy to every piece. The knots act as protection from abrasion and breakage, serving both function and design.

We love to adorn pearls, turquoise, and other beads and stones with barnacles- a curious twist on a classic design. Drilled and set into the surface, the barnacles cling as though they always belonged there.
