ONE OF A KIND
Nude Study #25 Mother of Pearl Scrimshaw Necklace
This necklace captures a moment of stillness among the waves. A mermaid, her back turned in quiet repose, is hand-scribed in scrimshaw across a luminous oval of mother of pearl. The nacre’s natural iridescence shimmers like moonlit water, shifting with every glance. Set in gold and suspended on a delicate chain, this one-of-a-kind necklace is a study in grace, solitude, and the timeless allure of the sea.
MOHs Hardness: 3.5
Origins: Australia south sea
Care: Keep mother of pearl jewelry away from chemicals: contact with cosmetics, oils, acids, etc., can discolor or ruin the texture of pearls. Avoid cleaning your scrimshaw- this can ruin the ink. If absolutely necessary, use a cool, damp cloth- but avoid the ink as much as possible.

Let customers speak for us
Like Ocean Glass washed up from the ocean with barnacles attached from their underwater journey, these Ruthie B earrings have an organic edge with a touch of lady like flourish in the gold ear hooks and barnacles. I love the calm blue with the edgy and lady like mix. These are earrings a mermaid left on her large rock perchv as she was luring a sailor into her charms. Lucky me I found them!
This was a gift for my daughter 40th birthday. A lovely reminder to follow your dreams
This is one of the most gorgeous necklaces I've ever purchased! The stone made by nature then beautifully enhanced by Hannah with her unique style is perfection.
The black opal ring is gorgeous. The opal is mesmerizing and the setting is perfect, unique and delicate. I can’t stop looking at it.
Looks nice and elegant.Opal is small, will be a good gift for young woman but not appropriate for older woman. So my granddaughter was happy!
This necklace is perfect on its own and looks great layered with other necklaces…it’s beautifully made and is something that I’ll have forever. I just love it.
Hannah's detailed scrimshaw on a beautiful turquoise substrate is a stunner!
Amazing pendant! Love it! Thank you so much!
Omg the necklace was amazing! Hannah did an incredible job. My wife was suuuper stoked. ♥️
Oh my gosh...Hannah's art work of the Seaborn Nautilus is absolutely beautiful. I picked this Scrimshaw because the Nautilus is ancient and mysterious in it's alien underworld beauty. I treasure this special piece dearly as it is a little work of art on my neck. A reminder life is precious and there are many mysteries we do not understand above and below...but the Nautilus knows...
I am so in love with this piece! It feels like I found buried treasure I can wear everyday (and I do !)
It’s beautiful, unique and just perfect for me.
Thank you Hannah!
This ring is perfect! So beautiful. Even more stunning in person than in photos.
These studs are so beautiful and well-made! The stones are incredibly well-cut and well-set. The pictures don’t do justice to their many facets and translucent verdant color. They sing and dance and shimmer on the ears.
Beautiful! The packaging was really nice and the neckalace is amazing.
Beautiful stone and gold flower detail on this pendant. I look forward to future purchases from Hannah!
the story of scrimshaw
THE STORY of SCRIMSHAW
Like the art of tattooing, the Scrimshaw collection modernizes the traditional beauty of hand-etched adornments. Utilizing the technique of engraving and inking illustrations into various materials, scrimshaw dates back to whalers of the late 18th century; scrimshanders of yore created their hand-etched pieces to pass the time at night aboard their ships, often working with the current and movement of the vessel to create their designs. The longing that inspired sailors, as each night of their voyage passed, evolved into beautiful art that captured the romance of their yearning. Whether they channeled their heart’s desire or took respite from their unknown futures, scrimshaw work has always been deeply personal to Hannah, yet incredibly accessible to all familiar with nostalgia’s spell. A labor of love, each piece is intricately hand-scribed by Hannah; consisting of various soft gemstones and seashells with fine, mixed metals and India ink, the scrimshaw collection features hand-carved gestures, anatomical studies, and oceanic creatures. Combining the sentimentality of each HBJ piece with the endless inspiration the ocean provides, each Scrimshaw piece serves as a symbol of protection, resistance, and nostalgia.
