4.935ct Montana sapphire Ruthie B. ring.

Solid 18k yellow gold band and setting with solid 18k yellow gold barnacles.

Stone + setting measures approximately 12 x 12mm in width and 6.2mm in height.

All metal has a matte finish.

Sapphire cut by David Watkins. It is heat treated.

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. This particular ring has two inclusions that break the surface of the stone.

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.

Mined in the US and easy to trace its ethical origins, Montana Sapphires tend to come in muted, dreamy colors. Sapphires are a corundum variety, like rubies, that come in every color but red. While classic, cobalt sapphires are the most popular, the HBJ studio loves those with inclusions and atypical coloring. Sapphire inclusions are formed by minerals called needles; in ancient Greece and Rome, royalty believed that sapphires provided protection.
Origins: Montana, USA
MOHs Hardness: 9
Care: While sapphires are very sturdy, they can still break. Avoid dropping them onto hard surfaces. To clean your sapphire piece, soak in warm, soapy water and remove any dirt with a toothbrush or the like. It is safe to clean with an ultrasonic and steam cleaner

THE ANATOMY OF THE RUTHIE B. RING

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

Cradled in a smooth bezel, the gemstone feels tucked safely into place, protected from the bumps and snags of everyday life. The band carries a satisfying weight and gently narrows toward the stone, drawing the eye to what matters most.

We pride ourselves in seeking out gemstones with uncommon beauty: vivid hues, distinctive inclusions, and an unmistakable sense of character. Hand-selected one by one, each is entirely unique, a reminder that true beauty is never uniform.

Each piece is crafted in solid, high-quality precious metal - never plated. Our signature matte finish honors the material, allowing it to soften and evolve with wear, developing a natural patina that tells the story of the wearer.

Tiny diamonds nestle within the barnacles like drops of seawater caught in the tide, revealing themselves only when the light finds them. Their sparkle is subtle and fleeting, a hidden treasure tucked among the textures of the sea.

I am obsessed with my ring!!

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. 💚

Exquisite design with a moody gem

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.

I can't stop staring at this ring!

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!

Beautiful Craftsmanship

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.

Never leaving my finger...

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! 😀

Blown away -off the mountain and out to sea!

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.

Exactly what I've been looking for

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!

Birth of a family Heirloom.

I first viewed Hannah’s gorgeous citrus tourmaline ring on her Instagram post , I went back to that photo several times before making the decision I needed to own that piece. This special gem is proof of Hannahs trained eye to find a treasure amongst millions possible gems and bring it to life with her designs and created a true work of art.. I knew it would be the perfect compliment to my dress for my daughter September wedding. As mother of the bride, I chose this citrus tourmaline ring to mark a very special day in my life as well. Hannah’s piece that will undoubtedly begin its life representing a celebration and the beginning of a family heirloom.

Rings to write about

Like jewelry straight from a fantasy, HBJ's collection inspires a nostalgia directly rooted in all the magical trinkets scattered throughout history. No longer does one need to forego exorbitant wealth to be hands on with relevant works that had to earn their names. These collections have it all built in right from the start, because the team at HBJ has profound (and just as magical) personal investment that lives through each piece. Every ring, necklace and adornment has its own personality, refinement, and story, all without feeling like they were mechanically reproduced, a difficult task to accomplish for any artist. Without pause I can most definitely recommend HBJ, because you're not just buying jewelry, you're part of its story.
