KATIE’S MODERN HEIRLOOMS: LOVE LETTERS TO HER DAUGHTER
Over the years, Katie has added to her collection of RUUSK pieces with intention – each one a meaningful chapter in her story. Featuring thoughtful engravings and her favourite stone, Ceylon Sapphire, every piece carries a message of love and a deep connection to her journey through motherhood. Lovingly crafted to be cherished by Katie now, and one day passed down to her daughter with all the love it holds. "I wanted to create a series of love letters to one day pass onto my daughter. Each of my RUUSK pieces have engravings with messages of love, strength, and perseverance. My hope is that these love letters will be a reminder of how much she is loved, our beautiful life together and to have the courage to rise up when faced with adversity. " "Every day that I am with my daughter, feeling her love and watching her grow, is a gift. Although it is one of the most challenging roles in life, motherhood has given me the drive to live more passionately and to strive to be a better person every single day. I always say my life began when my daughter was born and I love this life with her."

CELEBRATING DR.SUMMA BIBBY: A NEW CHAPTER IN BLOOM
Jewellery has a beautiful way of holding our stories, marking the moments that shape us, and keeping our loved ones close as we step into new beginnings. Recently, we had the privilege of creating two deeply personal pieces to celebrate a moment that will forever be part of Dr. Summa Bibby’s journey—her graduation and her exciting path ahead. To honour this milestone, Summa chose to craft her own Tiny Signet Ring, a timeless symbol of dedication and perseverance. Set with Natural Diamond and Yellow Sapphire, this meaningful pairing reflects both brilliance and warmth—the strength of her knowledge and the light she brings to the world. Inside the band, her laser engraving—"Dr. Bibby 08.24"—whispers a reminder of her hard work, passion, and the dreams she has brought to life. Her mother, Madonna, also wanted to celebrate Summa in a way that would keep their connection close to her heart, always. She chose a True North Necklace as a guiding star for her daughter, laser engraved on the back with "Dr. Bibby 2024"— symbolising the love, support, and encouragement that will forever surround her as she embarks on this next chapter. It is always an honour to create pieces that hold such deep meaning—jewellery that isn’t just worn, but truly felt. Summa, we are so grateful to have been part of this moment, and we can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next.

SAVANNAH'S SIGNET RINGS: A CELEBRATION OF MOTHERHOOD
Jewellery has always been a powerful way to hold our stories close, and Savannah’s collection of modern heirlooms is a beautiful tribute to her journey as a mother. Her latest addition, a Hand-Engraved Oval Signet, is a deeply heartfelt celebration of her son, Wes—joining her Classic Signet Ring, lovingly engraved with an elegant "L" for her daughter, Lenora. With each piece, she is weaving together a collection that carries the essence of her love, a timeless reflection of the bond she shares with her children. Join us as we sit down with Savannah to hear more about her motherhood journey and the meaning behind these treasured pieces. What does Motherhood mean to you? Motherhood to me is an ever changing journey. It’s been my greatest gift to be a safe space to two little hearts, to be their comfort. Although at times it’s thankless or sleepless, the moment I am away from them I miss it- the chaos, the small dirty hands, the endless questions, even the sleepless nights. It’s in those moments my heart overflows with love knowing I am their home. Motherhood is both my biggest joy and greatest heartbreak. To watch them grow into their very own person. It’s given me purpose and drive and an unconditional love like anything I’ve ever known! You've created two very special pieces inspired by both of your gorgeous children. What inspired you to choose each design for them? My L signet was my first piece from RUUSK and it felt like such a beautiful and bold piece as I entered motherhood for the first time. It was my gift to myself as I became a mother and a reminder to always remember why I’m doing the hard work. Same goes for my newest ring in honour of my baby boy, Wesley. It’s a little piece of them to always have close to me! What was the most meaningful part of the creation process for you? Working with RUUSK has been so sweet over the years. I’ve now made three pieces with them and each process has been full of kindness, attention to detail and thoughtfulness. They even helped me surprise my best friend with matching rings for Christmas one year! All of the girls I’ve interacted with have honoured my time, my ideas and helped bring them to life in the most beautiful way. I especially love working through the design process with them and how efficient the entire team is. I think the biggest take away I’ve had is how special they make me feel. Purchasing modern heirloom pieces is an investment and they make every dollar worth it, on top of receiving the most beautiful pieces. How does it feel knowing that one day your children will wear and treasure these pieces? I’ve always loved the idea of these pieces becoming heirlooms— for them to live life with me and pass along so many stories and moments. They act as a beautiful reminder to me and I hope the sentiment can continue. For my daughter to one day wear her signet or pass it on to her children. And for my son to gift his to his future wife or child. It’s so special to pass a piece down that’s lived a beautiful life and will continue to. Each piece is a reflection of Savannah’s love for her children and a reminder of the cherished moments they’ve shared. These rings are more than just jewellery—they’re symbols of her enduring connection to her family, to be treasured now and passed down through generations. Through her meaningful pieces, Savannah reminds us of the beauty of motherhood and the lasting legacy of love.

Phoebe's Crescent Moon & Stars Necklace
We're absolutely thrilled to bring you the gorgeous story of Phoebe, newly graduated from her midwifery degree & her partner, Jackson. Surprising Phoebe with an Emerald Crescent Moon to celebrate her graduation and their 5th anniversary, Jackson spent much time and thought into the meaning and design of Phoebe's special piece. Congratulations Phoebe & Jackson, we hope you treasure this beautiful heirloom for your lifetime to come! Jackson, how would you describe Phoebe? And Phoebe, how would you describe Jackson? Jackson: I describe Phoebe as a beautiful soul with a peaceful and calm personality who I love dearly. Phoebe: I would describe Jackson as a caring, fun loving human who is obsessed with all things to do with his car and camping. However, he is more than this. He is the most beautiful and thoughtful man who takes care of me! The love I have for him is indescribable. Phoebe's Crescent Moon & Stars Necklace, personalised with a Centre Emerald Jackson, how does this necklace celebrate Phoebe? And was there a particular reason you chose specific design details? This necklace celebrated our 5th anniversary as well as Phoebe graduating from a Bachelor of Midwifery. I chose this design as I was initially caught by the crescent moon itself. I know Phoebe trusts in the universe and she truly believes everything happens for a reason within this world. Therefore, the moon was very symbolic of this. Phoebe has always had a love for the colour green, probably because she immerses herself within the natural beauty of mother nature. So the emerald was perfect. I wanted the diamonds either side to add to the piece without taking away the beauty. When I gave it to her I said I was the emerald, one stone was her best friend, granny, and the other her much loved dog Timmy. I explained we would be with her wherever she went as long as she wore the necklace. Phoebe, how did you feel when Jackson surprised you with your Emerald Crescent Moon Necklace? I initially saw the label RUUSK and nearly passed out! He knew I loved the brand and everything it stood for. So the fact he remembered and surprised me with something from RUUSK took me by surprise. When I opened the box, I burst into tears when I saw the emerald. I knew immediately he had customised the design and this meant the world to me. He took time in curating a very special piece. It meant more than anything for him to recognise our anniversary and my graduation as he was by my side the three years through the trials and successes of what it brought! Phoebe, after finishing your full-time midwifery degree (congratulations!), what has been the greatest takeaway from this life chapter? And what are you both particularly looking forward to in your next life adventure? The greatest takeaway from Graduation was that I did it! It also taught me the power, strength and resilience women hold and that that is invaluable. We have been together for nearly 5 years (7 years since starting to date) and we can’t wait for what the future holds. I (Phoebe), particularly can’t wait for that even more special ring on my left hand that I hope to curate with you guys again! I (Jackson), also hope for this too but more importantly a future of happiness together and whatever that may hold. Did you know?

MEG'S TRUE NORTH NECKLACE
In honour of her Gran, an incredible wordsmith remembered for her handwriting and large collection of daily diaries, Meg's very special piece celebrated family memories and the treasure of record-keeping. Engraving her Gran's diary entry on her day of birth, Meg's necklace beautifully honours the women who came before. Tell us about your very special piece? I chose to customise the true north necklace with a very special engraving to remember my Gran. Gran kept a daily diary for around 60 years and was known for her incredible hand writing. Gran’s diary entry written the day I was born, tells the story of my Mum’s very quick labour and the excitement of my siblings to hear I was a baby girl. Gran wrote: “A dear little dolly only 5lbs 13ozs”. I thought this was so sweet and special to be able to read about the day I was born, so I wanted to create a piece I could wear everyday incorporating her words. How did you feel when you saw your necklace for the first time? I was so happy to see my vision come to life! The necklace is so delicate and pretty and I was so impressed to see the engraving.What is a favourite memory you have of your GrandmotherMy favourite memory of my Gran would be spending time in the kitchen together baking. Gran had her very own handwritten recipe book, which we still use to this day. Meg's very special Clear Diamond True North Necklace Did you know? You can customise many of our pieces with engraving.

5 Years of RUUSK
Today marks 5 years of RUUSK, and what a wonderful, challenging and rewarding journey it has been.Like most things in life, my path into jewellery wasn't entirely linear; it involved a lot of trial and error, a lot of learning, exploring and questioning what it is that I want to bring into the world. After years of experimenting with both jewellery and life, here and across the seas, I finally had a clear idea of what I wanted to do - create meaningful heirloom pieces with purpose and intention.In these 5 years, I've gone from carving rings in my corridor to growing a beautiful and extremely talented team of jewellers, setters, engravers, casters and, of course, our amazing studio team, Stef, Lucy and Kristy. We've moved studios, I've grown a human, and we've helped plant 1,523 trees through our Tree by Tree Initiative. We've created for countless beautiful souls and through these intimate heirlooms been invited into so many stories of love, friendship and grief. Even as we continue to grow, the privilege in being involved in your most precious moments and celebrations is never lost on me. It is such an honour and the greatest joy.With that sentiment, I wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your love and support. If we've had the pleasure of creating for you, thank you for entrusting us with the creation of your heirlooms. For those who like and comment on our Instagram and Facebook posts, thank you for cheering us on. For those who talk about us to your family and friends, thank you for spreading the love.Without all of you, the journey wouldn't be nearly as sweet.As we enter our 6th year, I'm excited for us to continue to 'grow' not necessarily in size, but in heart and soul. This year we're going to focus on creating an ever richer experience for our special clients, finding ways that we can keep on giving back to this beautiful world that we are a part of and, of course, to continue to bring magic to life as best I know how.From the bottom of my heart, thank you.Bring on the next chapter!x Tania
