We intentionally choose gemstones with natural inclusions, and some may also feature subtle surface texture. These characteristics are part of what makes each stone unique, and one of the things we love most about natural gemstones.

The ring is size 7. Please note: ring resizing can add up to 4 weeks to your shipping estimate. Resized rings are not eligible for return or exchange.

Tourmalines are beloved by HBJ for their singular inclusions that evoke a variety of still-beauty, from lily ponds to watercolor paintings. The discovery of tourmaline occurred during the 1500s in Brazil, where it was mistaken for emerald. Tourmaline’s wide spectrum of colors earned its name from the Sinhalese word for “mixed gems”- green tourmalines are the most popular iteration and a studio favorite for their lush and organic refinement, but each variety seems to hold the most beautiful shades of every color.
Origins: Various
MOHs Hardness: 7-7.5
Care: Although tourmalines are sturdy, they are not invincible and can break: avoid dropping them onto hard surfaces. To clean your tourmaline jewelry, soak in warm, soapy water and remove any dirt with a toothbrush or the like. Do not use an ultrasonic of steam cleaner.

Paying in Installments

We have partnered with several independent financing companies to provide you with more flexibility and options.

At check out, select either ‘Shop Pay Installments’, ‘Klarna‘, or ‘Afterpay‘ as your payment method to go through the application process. If your application is approved, these companies will allow you to pay in installments. To learn more about their terms and conditions, please visit their respective websites.

Once you check out with one of these independent financing companies, we will process your order as normal and send the jewelry you ordered when ready. You will continue to work directly with your financing company to make your installment payments. Please note these financing companies are separate from Hannah Blount Jewelry. As a result, we are not responsible for their actions or services.

Note: Depending on your geographic location and total amount due at check-out, only some of these independent financing companies may offer financing services to you.

For custom Ruthie B. rings, prices start around $4,000. If you want a diamond Ruthie B. ring or a Ruthie B. ring with a larger (10mm+) sapphire, then the starting price is typically around $8,000 and will increase depending on the size, quality, and character of the stone. Because each custom ring is made specifically for you, pricing will typically be higher than that of a similar ring from our current collection online.

Custom Ruthie B. rings are made to order and typically take 2–4 months to complete. That said, always feel free to reach out. Sometimes we are able to do rush orders.

Once you complete this online form, we will typically reach out in 1-3 business days (it can be longer during the holidays). During our initial exchange, we will walk through some basic questions to help determine how best to proceed. Often we jump right into stone shopping (the best part)!

After our initial consultation and follow up meetings (as applicable), we will provide an estimated project quote (often as a range). Since Ruthie B. rings are fairly time consuming to build, we require an initial deposit equal to either the price of the gemstone being purchased for this project or 50% of the project quote (whichever is higher). Please note: All project deposits are non-refundable.

Upon project completion, we will reach out to you with images and finalized costs. Once your final invoice is paid, we will coordinate shipping. All shipments are insured and require a signature upon delivery.

We have you covered! We recommend checking out our Ring Sizer Loan Program (we can't hyperlink for some reasons so just search for "Ring Sizer" on our website). You will also find a number of tips and tricks by clicking on the Ring Sizing Guide at the bottom of our website.

And, as always, feel free to also contact the studio with any questions!

This is something we can brainstorm on together as we work through your custom ring, so no worries.

That said, if you want to get a head start then we recommend borrowing one of the recipient’s rings (preferably one that is worn on the intended finger) and having a local jeweler (or us!) size the ring. Keep in mind that a narrower band will fit looser on a finger than a wider band, so try to borrow a ring that has a similar band width to the ring being gifted.

And keep in mind that we can always resize the ring after it is gifted!

Yep! Reach out after you receive your ring and we can work together on determining the correct size.

As an FYI, our custom rings are resized by our talented friend outside of the studio. Since he is located on the other side of the city, it can take up to four weeks for this process (accounting for all the back and forth).

Figuring out the perfect size when you have larger knuckles can be a challenge. As artists that work with our hands and, therefore, tend to have larger knuckles, we get it! The good news is that we have a few options available (including sizing beads). Just ask!

If you need a custom size (including quarter sizes or sizes not seen on our website), just let us know! We are happy to accommodate.
