Two rings with faces, one gold and one silver, on a light background.

ANATOMY OF THE FACE

The female form has been captured in jewelry for thousands of years. From ancient coins bearing the profiles of goddesses to cameo portraits passed down through generations, these women have long carried ideas of beauty, power, protection, and identity.

Hannah's faces are not portraits of anyone in particular. They are imagined women: goddess, guardian, siren, muse. Each one invites the wearer to see a little of herself in a face that could belong to anyone, or no one at all.

Each piece is designed and crafted by Hannah before being cast into solid silver or gold. Rings, earrings, and pendants transform the traditional cameo into something more tactile, unexpected, and distinctly HBJ.

Named for the fog that rolls in from the sea and settles over Nantucket, the Grey Lady rings are mysterious, wild, and quietly powerful. Her face is a talisman for the parts of ourselves that are difficult to see but impossible to lose: intuition, resilience, independence, and a little bit of wildness.

At the bows of old ships, carved women stared out toward the horizon, watching over sailors as they sailed into the unknown. Inspired by these fearless guardians and Hannah's Nantucket roots, the Figurehead faces dangling from our earrings and necklaces carry that same spirit forward as small talismans for protection, courage, and safe passage.

Handcrafted in solid silver and gold, these pieces are made to be worn close and often. Never plated or hollowed, they are built to last and meant for everyday wear. A little ancient, a little otherworldly, and entirely their own, each face is strong, sculptural, and refined.
