Faustina junior lived c. 130–175 CE. She was empress from 145–175 CE as the wife of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. One of Rome's most influential empresses, she was celebrated for accompanying her husband on military campaigns and for her role as the mother of a large imperial family, earning the title Mater Castrorum ("Mother of the Camp"). Coins depicting Faustina the Younger sometimes feature Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and the moon, symbolizing strength, independence, and the protective spirit associated with both the goddess and the empress.

Beautiful ring and great company to work with. Can’t say enough positive things.

I am obsessed with my ring. The sea green tourmaline is genuinely mesmerizing. It glows, shifts with the light, and somehow looks a little different every time I look at it, which is approximately 900 times a day. The bezel setting and matte gold make it feel ancient, modern, organic, and luxurious all at once. It has so much character and truly is a tiny piece of art made to be worn. I’ve owned plenty of jewelry that I love, but this one feels different. It’s one of those rare pieces that feels unmistakably mine, and I know I’ll treasure it forever. 💚

This ring is absolutely stunning! The stone color is even more beautiful than the website picture. The delicate branches that wrap around the stone as the mount - it’s truly a work of art. I debated this purchase for a while - but so glad I got it. This is my forever ring and the best gift I ever gave myself!!!

I was on the hunt for a Montana sapphire for a long time. When I found "Daybreak" I knew my search was over. I had found my ring! Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship, the stone is gorgeous and I'm so very happy with my purchase!

I truly adore Hannah Blount's designs. The setting of this creation is exquisite and the barnacles are perfect. This aquamarine is a moody gem and seems to transform from day to day much like weather changing from stormy and cloudy to fresher skies. This is my 5th piece from the studio as these handcrafted treasures are too irresistible.

It's a beautiful piece! I love Hannah's drawings. I would prefer a gold bezel around this piece w a silver backing and chain... but it works really well without the bezel too. IF the drawing itself was a little bigger that would be awesome! I look forward to future pieces!
K
Hanna’s magic strikes again. The scrimshaw pieces have always intrigued me but wanted to wait for something that matches my style. This sweet sea nettle is a testimony to Hanna’s steady hand and it’s a lovely day to day piece. I have not taken it off once.

I received my gorgeous ring two weeks ago, and it is absolutely stunning. The stone is dazzling and captivating – it changes color in different light – I've never seen anything like it. I deeply appreciate the artistry of the setting – the hallmark of a true craftswoman. Thank you!
J
This ring is absolutely breathtaking with the soft brushed gold nestled next to the vibrant green tourmaline. I can’t keep my eye off this bold statement piece yet it’s refined for everyday wear. I’m in love with my ring, it’s not just jewelry-it’s a piece of art.
K
I cannot express how happy I am to get to wear this piece of art every day! Every detail of this ring is perfection. The Montana sapphire is normally a moody greenish-gray but can appear a lighter green or even a shade of blue in different lighting. The white gold barnacles add just the right amount of asymmetrical interest without overpowering the beauty of the stone or the simplistic outline of the design. The craftsmanship is stunning, and no detail was overlooked in it's creation. I'm thrilled with my Ruthie B. Barnacle ring! 😀
M
I absolutely love my ring. I chose it because of the unique arrangement of the barnacles. It’s even prettier in person than it was in photos. I cannot wait to choose another to add to my collection.
D
I am blown away. At 62 I think it’s the most beautiful piece of jewelry I’ve ever owned mind you, I have never been a tennis bracelet or classic pearl necklace girl but if you love the mountains in the sea, this is the, this is the ring for you. I can’t wait to invest in my next piece of Hannah Blount jewelry that I will surely be passing down to my daughter.

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.
E
This ring is perfect! So beautiful. Even more stunning in person than in photos.

I was searching a long time for a unique aquamarine ring. The Icefield grabbed my attention the moment I saw it. I love the true blue-green ocean color of the stone and its mysterious inclusions, and the HBJ-signature sprinkling of barnacles is completely charming. Thank you HBJ studio for your artistry, craft, and vision!
M
Absolutely stunning ring. The inclusions in the aquamarine make it so special. The ring is perfect! I am a HBJ collector - you can’t go wrong with the design, craftsmanship, and style of a HBJ piece!
M
So simple, yet so elegant. I adore everything Hannah makes, and I’m so thrilled to own this piece!
J
Oh my gosh! These pearls! The Magnolias are gorgeous with their lavender pink hues. So so pretty! And of course adorned with the gold barnacles these pearls are extra special! The hook clasp is funky and fun and matches the sea vibe of the barnacles so I enjoy putting the clasp on the side to be shown not hidden since the fish hook clasp is so unique and Ruthie B Special Delight!
C
I really love them 💕
The one thing I am working on is to try to make the ear wires longer and thus easier to use (for me).
C
Ooh, La La! The sparkle from this ring is incredible. Absolutely stunning!
S
Absolutely gorgeous as usual.

Beautiful piece of Kazakhstan turquoise!! I look forward to wearing it often!

I absolutely LOVE my scrimshaw mother of pearl mermaid made by Hannah! I am always looking for unique pieces, and this feels luxurious and from another time. The detail is exquisite. I had excellent communication from the team. Shipping was fast and secure. I highly recommend purchasing from this jeweler, especially if you want an heirloom quality piece. I feel special every time I wear my mermaid!
K
This necklace is aptly named 'enchanted.' Hannah has a unique gift in her ability to 'read' each stone's unique attributes, and dialogue with her materials accordingly. When I wear this, I morph into a miniature mermaid, with this as my pool. Amazing craftswomanship.

These earrings are more spectacular in person. I have been a customer of Hanna for more than 10 years. I feel honor to be an owner of jewelry when she was just get started. When I want something special or unusual I turn to Hanna first.
