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

Aquamarine individually knotted on grey-hued silk.

Beads vary in size, measuring approx.11.67 x 20.31 x 14.7mm to 22.43 x 21.18 x 19mm.

Solid bright sterling silver fish hook clasp.

Necklace measures 17.5" in length, including clasp.

We intentionally choose gemstones with natural inclusions, and some may also feature subtle surface texture. These characteristics are part of what makes each stone unique, and one of the things we love most about natural gemstones.

A studio favorite for its oceanic hues and unique inclusions, aquamarine has long been associated with the sea- once believed to be the treasure of mermaids, and we’re inclined to agree. Named for the Latin word for seawater by a 16th-century stonecutter, its pelagic color comes from traces of iron within the stone. The deeper the blue, the more valuable the aquamarine.
Origins: Primarily mined in Brazil and parts of Africa
MOHs Hardness: 7.5-8
Care: Aquamarines are sturdy, but they are not invincible- they can break. Avoid dropping them onto hard surfaces. To clean your aquamarine 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 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 in wax by Hannah and cast into fine metals, gathering in quiet clusters that speak to the resilience of holding fast through changing tides.

Carved by hand in wax and cast into fine metals, the fishhook clasp draws from those used by Hannah’s father aboard his "Ruthie B" boat. 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 individually hand-knotted on silk thread in vivid, unexpected colors chosen by Hannah herself. We love the playful flash of bright pinks, teals, greens, reds, and blues woven between each bead, bringing each necklace to life. Beyond their beauty, the silk knots help protect the pearls and beads from abrasion and breakage, creating a strand that is as durable as it is distinctive.

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.
