John Hardy continues its iconic series for Spring 2024 with the Spear series, Mens series, and redesigned Naga Dragon series as the main highlights. Each series possesses its own unique aesthetic, blending contemporary design with the brand’s exceptional spirit and craftsmanship that has led for nearly half a century. The distinctive Spear series, based on traditional Balinese weaving, showcases John Hardy’s craftsmanship by delicately wrapping metal around a flexible titanium core wire to create intricately textured chains. This spring, the Spear series introduces single and double loop rings, as well as hoop earrings made from luxurious 14K gold and 100% recycled silver. The earrings come in three different sizes – 17mm, 34mm, and 74mm – all retaining their unique and flexible titanium core wire design.
The Men’s collection includes bracelets, necklaces, and rings, establishing a strong foundation for the series through a variety of chain sizes, metals, and finishes. This spring, the collection features playful color combinations made up of gemstones, enamel, sterling silver, and diamonds. Centered around the iconic square woven chain, the series is woven and then hammered with a special hand technique to create a mottled and dynamic texture that reflects light and enhances the beauty of the silver. The chain accessories are perfect for bold looks, including single, double, and triple loop bracelets, as well as a range of beaded bracelets and necklaces. This includes a sterling silver double Heishi bracelet set with turquoise, and an ID Tags sterling silver dog tag pendant Surf necklace with vibrant orange enamel. The rings in the collection highlight the captivating charm of black onyx, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and diamonds, complementing the pendants.
The Naga Dragon series is named after the “dragon” in Balinese, symbolizing love, protection, and prosperity. The delicate Naga Dragon bracelet uses a highly flexible titanium metal spring for comfort and durability, embodying eternal elegance. The style is carved from solid 925 sterling silver or 14K gold, with a streamlined design featuring fashionable characteristics and patterns that allow light to shine through, illuminating each piece. The dragon’s eyes are made of sapphires, and the dragon head in 14K gold is adorned with diamonds, adding to its elegance. The strap design comfortably wraps around the wrist, with a specially designed chain hinge for easy wearing. The three-loop bracelet is also made of sterling silver and 14K gold, bringing a new feel to the Naga Dragon series, showcasing a multi-dimensional appearance. The redesigned sterling silver and 14K gold Naga Dragon rings and earrings also feature fashionable linear designs and graphic cuts, showcasing the series’ new aesthetic sensibility.
