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

Freshwater baroque pearls are beloved for their gloriously irregular, non-spherical shapes and varying orient (the shimmering iridescence that appears to coat each pearl) and luster. Like all pearls, freshwater baroque pearls are formed when an irritant becomes trapped in a mollusk. The mollusk secretes a fluid, called nacre, which coats the irritant layer upon layer until a pearl is formed.
Origins: Freshwater farms across Asia
MOHs Hardness: 2.5-4.5
Care: Pearls are a particularly soft and porous organic material. Keep pearls away from chemicals. Contact with cosmetics, oils, acids, etc., can discolor or ruin the texture of pearls. To clean, use warm water with mild soap. Do not use an ultrasonic or steam cleaner.
Strands of pearls should not be washed- they should be wiped down with a soft, clean cloth before storing. Wetting the silk can cause stretching.

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.
