THE ANATOMY OF SHELLS

Hannah spent much of her childhood on Nantucket’s playground: the beach. Summer days were spent running through the dunes and collecting seashells, used as shovels for sandcastles and later brought home as treasures for windowsills. These forms now live on as sculptural, ocean-inspired jewelry: celebrating memory, place, and a deep connection to the sea.

Deceptively complex, these spiral shells were individually hand-carved by Hannah. The sculptural designs highlight the natural geometry of shells, transforming them into unique, handcrafted jewelry that is both organic and refined.

Crafted in solid silver, gold or platinum, each piece is made for lasting wear. The weight and integrity of fine metals create shell jewelry that is both durable and elevated. 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.

Ring Sizing FAQ

We have you covered! We recommend checking out our Ring Sizer Loan Program. You can either add this sizer to your ring order or you can order the sizer prior to making your purchase.
Feel free to also contact the studio with any questions!

Ideally, 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.
Feel free to reach out before or immediately following your purchase so we can brainstorm sizing together!
And keep in mind that we can always resize the ring after it is gifted!

Yep!

All of the One-of-a-Kind rings listed on our website are finished and ready for purchase. If you need a different size then use the drop down menu on the product page to select a different size.
That said, we can only resize a ring within two sizes up or down from the original size. For example, if the ring is listed as a size 7, then we can only resize the ring between a size 5 and size 9. If we went any larger or smaller, it would compromise the integrity of the ring.
If you cannot find a ring on our website that will fit your finger, please reach out! We have lots of lovely gemstones and would love to help you make your perfect ring in your exact size. Please visit our Ruthie B. Custom Ring page if you are interested in a Ruthie B. ring. Otherwise, reach out to us via our Custom page.

Our One-of-a-Kind 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). This timeline applies to both rings needing to be resized at the time of purchase and rings sent back to us for a second resizing.
Handmade-to-Order rings are made to order so they ship fairly quickly (we do our best to keep popular sizes in stock). See the product page for an estimated delivery timeline. If you ordered the wrong size, then we can resize your Handmade-to-Order ring in our studio. Typically turnaround time is under a week (outside of the holiday season).
Please contact our studio prior to ordering with any time constraints and we can work together to find the best solution.

No worries, we are here to help! First, we recommend reaching out to our team so we can help you determine the correct size. You can email us at studio@hannahblount.com.
Once we’ve confirmed your size, we will provide instructions for shipping the ring back to our studio.
Keep in mind that ring resizing after the initial purchase will incur a service fee plus the cost of shipping. For a One-of-a-Kind ring, this fee can range from $50 to $300 depending on the style and stone. For Handmade-to-Order rings, we swap out the ring for a different size whenever possible, or resize the current ring in our studio for a small fee.
If you are unsure of your size, we recommend utilizing our Ring Sizer Loaner Program!
For International orders, we do not offer returns, exchanges, or resizing after delivery. Please work with a local jeweler to resize your ring.

Yes! Since we make everything ourselves, we can often make a ring in a custom size not offered on the website, including larger, smaller, or quarter sizes. Contact our studio at studio@hannahblount.com prior to ordering and we can walk you through a custom size request.
Note that there may be an additional fee for a custom size.

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.
Please feel free to reach out to our studio at studio@hannahblount.com for more help. We can discuss adding sizing beads to the band or other useful tricks.

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

I am obsessed with my ring!!

I am obsessed with my ring. The sea green tourmaline is genuinely mesmerizing. It glows, shifts with the light, and somehow looks a little different every time I look at it, which is approximately 900 times a day. The bezel setting and matte gold make it feel ancient, modern, organic, and luxurious all at once. It has so much character and truly is a tiny piece of art made to be worn. I’ve owned plenty of jewelry that I love, but this one feels different. It’s one of those rare pieces that feels unmistakably mine, and I know I’ll treasure it forever. 💚

Exquisite design with a moody gem

I truly adore Hannah Blount's designs. The setting of this creation is exquisite and the barnacles are perfect. This aquamarine is a moody gem and seems to transform from day to day much like weather changing from stormy and cloudy to fresher skies. This is my 5th piece from the studio as these handcrafted treasures are too irresistible.

I can't stop staring at this ring!

I received my gorgeous ring two weeks ago, and it is absolutely stunning. The stone is dazzling and captivating – it changes color in different light – I've never seen anything like it. I deeply appreciate the artistry of the setting – the hallmark of a true craftswoman. Thank you!

Beautiful Craftsmanship

This ring is absolutely breathtaking with the soft brushed gold nestled next to the vibrant green tourmaline. I can’t keep my eye off this bold statement piece yet it’s refined for everyday wear. I’m in love with my ring, it’s not just jewelry-it’s a piece of art.

Never leaving my finger...

I cannot express how happy I am to get to wear this piece of art every day! Every detail of this ring is perfection. The Montana sapphire is normally a moody greenish-gray but can appear a lighter green or even a shade of blue in different lighting. The white gold barnacles add just the right amount of asymmetrical interest without overpowering the beauty of the stone or the simplistic outline of the design. The craftsmanship is stunning, and no detail was overlooked in it's creation. I'm thrilled with my Ruthie B. Barnacle ring! 😀

I absolutely love my ring

I absolutely love my ring. I chose it because of the unique arrangement of the barnacles. It’s even prettier in person than it was in photos. I cannot wait to choose another to add to my collection.

Blown away -off the mountain and out to sea!

I am blown away. At 62 I think it’s the most beautiful piece of jewelry I’ve ever owned mind you, I have never been a tennis bracelet or classic pearl necklace girl but if you love the mountains in the sea, this is the, this is the ring for you. I can’t wait to invest in my next piece of Hannah Blount jewelry that I will surely be passing down to my daughter.

Exactly what I've been looking for

I was searching a long time for a unique aquamarine ring. The Icefield grabbed my attention the moment I saw it. I love the true blue-green ocean color of the stone and its mysterious inclusions, and the HBJ-signature sprinkling of barnacles is completely charming. Thank you HBJ studio for your artistry, craft, and vision!

Birth of a family Heirloom.

I first viewed Hannah’s gorgeous citrus tourmaline ring on her Instagram post , I went back to that photo several times before making the decision I needed to own that piece. This special gem is proof of Hannahs trained eye to find a treasure amongst millions possible gems and bring it to life with her designs and created a true work of art.. I knew it would be the perfect compliment to my dress for my daughter September wedding. As mother of the bride, I chose this citrus tourmaline ring to mark a very special day in my life as well. Hannah’s piece that will undoubtedly begin its life representing a celebration and the beginning of a family heirloom.

Rings to write about

Like jewelry straight from a fantasy, HBJ's collection inspires a nostalgia directly rooted in all the magical trinkets scattered throughout history. No longer does one need to forego exorbitant wealth to be hands on with relevant works that had to earn their names. These collections have it all built in right from the start, because the team at HBJ has profound (and just as magical) personal investment that lives through each piece. Every ring, necklace and adornment has its own personality, refinement, and story, all without feeling like they were mechanically reproduced, a difficult task to accomplish for any artist. Without pause I can most definitely recommend HBJ, because you're not just buying jewelry, you're part of its story.
