Scrimshaw, the technique of hand-engraving + inking illustrations into shells, gemstones and other materials, dates back to whalers of the late 18th century; scrimshanders of yore created their hand-etched pieces to pass the time at night aboard their ships. Each illustration in the Scrimshaw collection is freehand and hand-carved by Hannah.

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!

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!

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.

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.

So funny I was just taking pictures of this beautiful ring. 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.

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).

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!

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.

Unbelievable depth in this stone. I’ve never seen a ring with such stunning detail. My fiancée was so happy with this ring. The communication from Hannah’s team was unparalleled. Thank you thank you thank you!

Absolutely stunning and get so many compliments on it! only issue is I am a lot less productive at work because I get so distracted by how beautiful it is!
M
I love this ring! It’s a beautiful color and fits perfectly. Working with the Hannah Blount team was really easy. I was moving and they went to lengths to ensure I got my ring before I left. Even rushing the shipping. I can’t speak highly enough of the team and their kindness. Thank you so much!

Setting eyes on this ring felt like discovering a treasure - something lost and magical that steals your attention when you glimpse it - both uniquely creative and eminently practical to actually wear… I loved it when I saw it and she loved it even more.
S
This is one of the most gorgeous necklaces I've ever purchased! The stone made by nature then beautifully enhanced by Hannah with her unique style is perfection.

Looks nice and elegant.Opal is small, will be a good gift for young woman but not appropriate for older woman. So my granddaughter was happy!

This necklace is perfect on its own and looks great layered with other necklaces…it’s beautifully made and is something that I’ll have forever. I just love it.
