Unique to Bali, Shared with the World.
John Hardy is a brand of jewelry from the island of Bali, in Indonesia. Hardy established his work there in 1975 after graduating from art school in Canada. He fell in love with Bali, and studied silversmithing under the tutelage of the island’s masters in the trade. Soon he started selling silver jewelry to tourists, and then abroad. Today, John Hardy jewelry has brought the unique vision of customary Bali culture to the rest of the world, and his jewelry adorns the hands and necks of people around the world, from models on the cover of ‘Vogue’ magazine, to ordinary lovers of beauty. Anyone interested in seeing John Hardy’s work can go to his store, where the jewelry can be viewed, and even purchased.
Sustainable Artisanship, a Vision for the Future
An important mission of Hardy’s is to provide jewelry created in a sustainable environment that treats its workers well, and treats the ecology well. Most jewelry made today is produced by factories, but not John Hardy jewelry. The John Hardy campus in Bali employs over 700 artisans; each piece is handmade, and entirely unique. They may look similiar, but since each was made at the same time, there are never two just alike. There is nothing like the exotic beauty of the island of Bali, and John Hardy jewelry delivers this beauty straight to the buyer.
Jewelry Collections for Men and Women, Inspired by Nature
John Hardy Jewelry is inspired by Bali, and the people there are connected strongly with the natural world and a sense of tradition. In most areas of the world, the Western culture pushes over the local culture. But with the sustainable vision of John Hardy jewelry, the culture of Bali is shared with the world.
