True North Montana Sapphire Ruthie B. Ring with Diamonds

SOLD OUT

This ring centers around a deep blue Montana sapphire; moody, inky, and full of quiet movement, like open water under a night sky. Set low in warm gold, the stone feels grounded and steady, a constant point to return to.

Two small diamonds sit nestled into hand-carved barnacle details, adding subtle flashes of light, like stars used for navigation. The organic setting hugs the stone closely, with soft curves and natural textures that echo years of salt, wind, and tide.

THE MEANING BEHIND Ruthie B. rings

“Named after my father’s fishing vessel, the Ruthie B. collection honors the mystery and raw beauty of the ocean that shaped my life, captured most intimately in this gemstone ring I designed for my own engagement.” ~ Hannah

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 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.
