John Hardy Inspired Jewelry - Not Just for Royalty

John Hardy Inspired Jewelry – Designer Beauty = $3,595

John Hardy knew that he was destined for something great and in 1975; he traveled to Bali to study the art of silversmithing from the Balinese craftsman known around the world for their ability to work with silver. After having learned his craft from descendants of those fabled artisans who created for Balinese royalty, John returned to the US to start his venture.

John Hardy Jewelry soon became an industry standard as John’s ability to incorporate color and design was recognized as a true talent. After some years of prosperity and artistic achievements, John decided to return to his roots. In 1997, John and his wife returned to Bali and bought some land. At first this land was fallow, but with hard work and determination, John was able to transform the landscape creating a beautifully functional farm and studio. Currently, some seven hundred artisans under John’s careful eye craft John Hardy Jewelry.

In the early days, John Hard Jewelry was crafted solely from silver, but he has broadened his creative horizons to include such precious metals as gold and is using gemstones such as diamonds in his beautiful designs. You can visit John Hardy online to visual sample his precious organic creations, but if you intend to buy, you must go to a collection of high-end jewelry outlets. You can purchase John Hardy Jewelry on the web at such outlets as Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue.

One example of what John Hardy Jewelry can be is the absolutely exquisite large twist diamond cuff. This intricately designed metallic wrap is made from sterling silver and 18k gold. It has pave diamond detail that lines the precious metal strands. Because John Hardy will not leave his roots, this jeweled artistic offering is handcrafted in Hardy’s Bali studio. If you decide to gift this wonderful expression of love to your mate, you will be sure to hear her swoon. Of course, you will have to shell out $3,595 US for the privilege of owning this remarkable piece of John Hardy jewelry.
