John Hardy is a jewelry brand founded by Canadian-born designer John Hardy. After traveling the world, he settled in Bali and began working with local artisans to learn traditional jewelry-making techniques. In 1975 he started his own jewelry company and focused on hand-weaving silver and gold, a process that became a signature of the brand. John Hardy designs are deeply rooted in Balinese culture, incorporating motifs from nature and mythology. The brand is known for its sustainable luxury, incorporating traditional Balinese techniques with modern designs, particularly chain weaving and intricate hand-carved details. John Hardy is committed to ethical production, using 100% recycled silver, planting bamboo trees to replenish bamboo forests and supporting local artisans.
