GEMSTONE GEMSTONE

In 1500’s Brazil, a conquistador mistakenly identified a dusty green tourmaline as emerald. This confusion lived on until the 1800’s, when gem identification became sophisticated enough to identify it as a mineral species of its own. Tourmaline comes in such a wide variety of colors that it earned the name “tourmaline” from the Sinhalese word for “mixed gems”.
Origins: Various
MOHs Hardness: 7-7.5
Care: Although tourmalines are sturdy, they are not invincible and can break: avoid dropping them onto hard surfaces. To clean your tourmaline jewelry, soak in warm, soapy water and remove any dirt with a toothbrush or the like. Do not use an ultrasonic of steam cleaner.

THE ANATOMY OF THE RUTHIE B. RING

1. Barnacles 1. Barnacles

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

2. Hand-carved Setting 2. Hand-carved Setting

The bezel setting offers a smooth, durable protection for the stone, shielding its most delicate edges; it is also less likely to snag with everyday wear. The band features a solid, weighty base that tapers toward the stone, creating balance while letting the setting take focus.

3. One-of-a-Kind Gemstones 3. One-of-a-Kind Gemstones

Every stone we choose carries its own secrets: vivid hues, storied inclusions, and a spirit all its own. Each is hand-picked and truly singular, a celebration of the wearer’s individuality; anything but a typical gemstone.

4. Solid Fine Metal 4. Solid Fine Metal

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.

5. Accent Diamonds 5. Accent Diamonds

Some pieces include tiny diamonds nestled in the barnacles. They reveal themselves in passing moments of light- a subtle, glittering detail.
