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

Ranging from milky periwinkle to rich lavender, chalcedony is a durable, microcrystalline gemstone formed from quartz and moganite. The HBJ studio is drawn to this ethereal stone for its whimsical hues and soft, fog-like texture.
Origins: Various
MOHs Hardness: 7
Care: Chalcedony is relatively sturdy but not invinceable. Clean your chalcedony jewelry with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or brush, rinse well, and dry thoroughly.

ANATOMY OF CAMEO

A modern interpretation of antique cameo jewelry, these pieces reflect the strength, intuition, and layered identity of the Divine Feminine. Rooted in history yet distinctly contemporary, each design honors storytelling, connection, and self-expression.

Designed as rings, necklaces, and earrings, the collection redefines cameo jewelry through tranquil, sculptural forms. These unique designs move beyond tradition, offering modern jewelry that is both timeless and expressive. Our cameos honor the sacred wildness, mystery, and enduring resilience of the feminine.

Named after Nantucket’s coastal fog, our Grey Lady pieces evoke the same mystery and introspection. Fierce, independent, wild, and wise, her spirit moves throughout history and is bound to us with the shared thread of sisterhood.

Carved in solid silver and 18k gold, these handcrafted pieces are designed for durability and everyday wear- unique, non-traditional jewelry and alternative wedding bands that feel both strong and refined.
