Dusk Water Montana Sapphire Ruthie B. Necklace

SOLD OUT

Like moonlight across a quiet inlet, this necklace holds a soft, shadowed glow. Its Montana sapphire - deep, glassy blue with flashes like light over moving water - feels both mysterious and calming, a small tide of brightness carried close to the heart.

A cluster of Hannah’s signature barnacles nestles along the bezel, offering a touch of wild shoreline against the polished gold. Delicate and luminous, this necklace evokes the stillness of nighttime water: reflective, restorative, and deeply quiet. A piece for those who find clarity in dark tides, solace in quiet coves, and beauty in the gentle shimmer of water after dusk.

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

This necklace features approx. 0.82ct Montana sapphire, cut by David Watkins. It is heat treated.

Solid 14k yellow gold necklace.

The pendant measures 7x8.25mm.

All metal has a matte finish.

The chain is 16" in length, including the clasp.

Mined in the US and easy to trace its ethical origins, Montana Sapphires tend to come in muted, dreamy colors. Sapphires are a corundum variety, like rubies, that come in every color but red. While classic, cobalt sapphires are the most popular, the HBJ studio loves those with inclusions and atypical coloring. Sapphire inclusions are formed by minerals called needles; in ancient Greece and Rome, royalty believed that sapphires provided protection.
Origins: Montana, USA
MOHs Hardness: 9
Care: While sapphires are very sturdy, they can still break. Avoid dropping them onto hard surfaces. To clean your sapphire piece, soak in warm, soapy water and remove any dirt with a toothbrush or the like. It is safe to clean with an ultrasonic and steam cleaner

THE ANATOMY OF THE BARNACLE

Small but enduring, barnacles thrive where waves, wind, and time leave their mark. Their clustered forms remind us that strength is found in persistence: holding fast, growing together, and weathering every tide. A quiet echo of the sea, and of resilience shaped over time.

From tiny clusters to sprawling formations, smooth domes to gemstone-set treasures, Hannah has spent years creating a world of barnacles in every size and shape. Each begins as a hand-carved wax sculpture, capturing the organic textures and irregular beauty of the shoreline before being cast in precious metal.

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.

Cast in solid silver, gold, and platinum, the barnacles take on a new permanence as tiny forms that capture the ocean’s raw beauty.

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!

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

Maya loved it and it looks great on her! Love the red detail, the color and style of the pearls with the barnacles, but the detail of the fish hook clasp is my favorite

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.
