What to know about John Hardy

Everything is made in Bali

Pieces are hand-built at the company's workshop compound in Mambal, using Balinese techniques like chain weaving, granulation and hand-carving.

Sterling silver, not fine gems

The house works mainly in sterling silver and gold, so the price sits high on labor and craft rather than on stone-setting.

Recognizable collections, not seasonal drops

Most of the range circles a few motifs — Classic Chain, the Naga dragon, Dot and Asli — with design now directed by creative chairman Reed Krakoff.
