John Hardy Bracelets:
Somewhere in this tropical Asian landscape—a broad sweep of rice terraces climbing toward a range of volcanoes—is a workshop where six hundred people are designing and crafting some of the most sought-after jewelry in America, the John Hardy Collection. The Kaung jewelry collection features a unique mix of silver and yellow gold. Inspired by studying traditional techniques with Balinese artisans. "I wanted to use totally traditional Balinese crafts and re-invent them in a way that's useful, timeless and at the same time, modern," says Hardy.
