Hi. I'm Jessie, the artist behind Ruby + Revolver. I live and work in the Bitterroot Valley, where my husband, our daughter, and a lively crew of rescue animals share our small but purposeful world. Our operation is intimate—we handle everything in-house, from metalsmithing and jewelry production to creating a sanctuary for all creatures, great and small.

A few years ago, my husband left his career in healthcare to join R+R full-time. He’s my right-hand man in both business and life, helping with everything from metal processing and casting to homeschooling and caring for our rescues.

My approach to metalsmithing is simple and rooted in resourcefulness. I started with secondhand tools—modified and repurposed from pawn shops—proving that real beauty can be created with time-tested, humble instruments. I believe that as long as your inspiration comes from a place of authenticity, the result will be worthwhile. In a world driven by immediacy, I find value in patience, in the slow and deliberate craft of creating pieces meant to last.

My jewelry is deeply inspired by Montana, the rugged beauty of the natural world, and my life in the West. I work primarily with reclaimed metals—sourced, treated, and processed by hand—and I have a deep appreciation for old-stock and American-mined stones, each carrying its own unique history.

I hope that every piece I create is unmistakably my own—purposefully raw, enduring, and infused with heart and soul.

XX Jess
