Ruthie, the artist, the business, is a culmination of an inspired woman’s determination to discover and succeed in making for herself, an outlet for her creativity and personal style.  Stones and string became her canvass, when in 2006 Ruth Welch decided to study the jewelry making process and begin her own collection. 

Using an eclectic variety of the finest gemstones mined all around the world, from Arizona to Africa, Europe, Asia and South America; she intermingles her classic sense of style with bohemian touches and unique tribal influences.  Ruthies are personal pieces of elegance meant to be worn every day, whether for the casual t-shirt and blue jeans kind of girl, to make that bold statement for the fashionista in us all, or to turn heads when complimenting a fabulous evening gown and woman.

Ruthie jewelry is for every woman because the artist herself embodies every woman.  She is a best friend to all who know her, a confidant, and a business owner, for whom business is personal.  Starting Ruthie was never about the profit or acclaim.  It was about truly doing something she loved, and achieving peace and success with it.  Her process is simple, yet unique to her mind and methods.  She spreads out her array of gem stones, crystals, antique pearls and beads, and manages to design a piece so riveting that when she wears it out the next day, it is sure to draw
