The Lightning Ridge opal mine is known for producing the famed black opal, but it also produces a variety of vibrant opals with a lustrous play-of-color and fire. Hannah Blount Jewelry works with a variety of opal cutters around the world who procure ethically-sourced, rough opal from local Australian miners. All opals are beloved for their whimsical, kaleidoscopic colors; the word opal comes from the Latin opallios- this describes a person’s ability to perceive the changing of colors.
Origins: Lightning Ridge, NSW Australia
MOHs Hardness: 5.5-6.5
Care: All opals are fragile like glass: be extra careful to avoid abrasive surfaces, and avoid knocking your opal against hard surfaces. Extreme temperature shifts can cause cracks. To keep your opal clean, use warm water with mild soap and a soft toothbrush or cloth. Do not use a steam cleaner or ultrasonic 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.
