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

Round, white baroque freshwater button pearls with hand-carved barnacles.
Solid bright sterling silver (barnacles, posts, and ear nuts) in a matte finish.
Little pearls measure approx. 7mm, and a little pearl earring in silver weighs approx. 0.9 grams.

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

Like tiny ocean blossoms, the barnacles on our jewelry hold the rough-and-tumble nostalgia of the sea. Each one is hand-carved, gathering in quiet clusters that speak to the resilience of holding fast through changing tides.

From tiny clusters to larger barnacles set with gemstones, all of our barnacles are hand-carved by Hannah.

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.
