Ryan Paevey Debuts Malachite Sterling Silver Cuff June 29

Ryan Paevey, best known for his role as Detective Nathan West on the daytime drama General Hospital, has turned his creative eye to jewelry design. On June 17, the actor shared a sneak peek of a malachite and sterling silver cuff on his Fortunate Wanderer Instagram account, teasing a drop scheduled for June 29 at noon Pacific. The post’s brevity—“Malachite and sterling silver cuff…Next drop is June 29th at NOON PACIFIC…This one was fun. :)”—belies the meticulous craftsmanship behind the piece.

A New Chapter For Fortunate Wanderer

Paevey launched Fortunate Wanderer in 2022, blending his twin passions for travel and handmade goods. According to his Instagram bio, the line emphasizes natural stones and artisan techniques. Unlike many celebrity collaborations, this one places Paevey in the driver’s seat: he sources materials, sketches designs, and works directly with silversmiths in the American Southwest. His website, www.fortunatewanderer.com, reflects a minimalist aesthetic—clean photography, simple captions—and a global nomad spirit.

Spotlight On Malachite

Malachite’s rich green swirls have long symbolized protection and transformation. In Paevey’s latest cuff, each stone is hand-cut and set into a polished sterling band, allowing light to play across its surface. The actor explained in his caption that this drop “was fun,” hinting at a newfound ease with metalwork and lapidary processes. Jewelry enthusiasts can sign up on Fortunate Wanderer now to secure one of the limited bracelets, priced at $225.

From Baltic Amber To Malachite

This isn’t Paevey’s first gemstone foray. In a May 30 post, he spotlighted a Baltic amber–backed design for the same June 29 release, writing: “I like this one a lot…backed Baltic Amber. It’ll be available in the next drop at www.fortunatewanderer.com on June 29th at NOON PACIFIC. Also Vicente Amigo is my fav Spanish guitarist…give his stuff a listen.” The amber cuff featured warm honey tones and a smooth patina, while the malachite variant embraces cooler hues, showcasing the brand’s range.

Acting Roots, Artisan Vision

Born October 24, 1984, in Torrance, California, Paevey studied at Loyola Marymount University before landing roles in soap operas and primetime series. His time on General Hospital (2013–17) earned him a Daytime Emmy nomination, and he’s since appeared in Hallmark movies like A Tail of Love and A Rose for Her Grave. Throughout his acting career, Paevey maintained a low-key social media presence—until Fortunate Wanderer offered a natural outlet for self-expression.

Instagram followers have watched Paevey evolve from beachside wanderer to boutique jeweler. In early June, he shared a sun-washed shot of himself strolling an empty shore—“Didn’t even edit this…walked a beach with not a soul around, swam in the sea, laid down, looked up. The bluest sky I have ever seen.”—reflecting on solitude and inspiration. These quieter moments feed into his handcrafted designs, marrying form with the open road’s spirit.

What’s Next

After the malachite and Baltic amber releases, Paevey hints at more surprises. His feed teems with captions like “I love when the puzzle pieces fit together just so :)” and “By far the most gigantic piece I’ve ever made…a gift for a neighbor, to their spec,” suggesting he may experiment with scale and mixed metals. Fortunate Wanderer’s upcoming schedule points to another drop in late July, possibly featuring turquoise or lapis lazuli.

Fans and collectors can subscribe for drop alerts at FortunateWanderer.com. Whether you’re drawn by Paevey’s on-set charisma or his eye for raw gemstones, this June 29 release marks a milestone: an actor fully embracing a second act as designer. As his Instagram bio declares, “Grateful for home, but always chasing new horizons,” a sentiment that now resonates in every etched line and polished stone.

By turning his gaze from Hollywood studios to silversmith shops, Ryan Paevey is proving that creativity knows no single medium. His Fortunate Wanderer journey is just beginning—and it looks set to shimmer well beyond soap stardom.
