John Hardy Celebrates Role-Mothers on Mother’s Day
Holiday lionizes those who embolden us to be our most legendary.
Luxury, handcrafted jewelry maker John Hardy is taking time to honor our role-Mothers this Mother’s Day. With infinite stories tell and without whom, our own stories would not be possible, these women are larger than life, inspiring, motivating, connecting, mentoring, and protecting us at every turn. We honor each type of role-Mother according to the ancient archetype she embodies:
For The Inspirer: THE DOT COLLECTION
There are those who see each day as a new adventure, and it is in their eyes that we see the world as magical. To celebrate The Inspirer, we seek out the Dot Collection, which typifies the idea of infinite possibilities. Through the ancient “Palu” hand-hammering technique, a team—traditionally made up of a husband and wife—shape each lustrous, symmetrical sphere to create a piece that stands as a symbol of boundless love.
For The Motivator: THE BAMBOO COLLECTION
They encourage us to be our best selves, seeking light and shining it in all directions. They are a gentle and ever-present support. For The Motivator, we turn to the tranquilityof the Bamboo Collection, celebrating the pure of heart through the elegance of nature. For each piece of sustainable luxury purchased, John Hardy in turn sponsors the sowing of bamboo seedlings to honor our shared role-Mother, Earth.
For The Connector: THE CLASSIC CHAIN COLLECTION
The welcoming, genuine, charismatic role-Mothers in our lives guide, introduce, and unite us with one another in a circle of warm kinship. To be in the presence of The Connector is to come home. We recognize The Connector with our iconic Classic Chain, the ultimate symbol of connectivity. Uniting powerful design and inspired meaning, the Classic Chain stands for all humanity and for our shared community.
For The Mentor: THE MODERN CHAIN COLLECTION
We have learned and continue to learn from The Mentors in our lives.They are our confidants, sharing guiding wisdom learned through their personal journeys. To honor The Mentor, we seek the Modern Chain Collection, which likewise takes a contemporary twist on the timeless woven design we love and brings us to a new point of view. In so doing, itleads us ahead, just as The Mentors in our lives have done.
For The Protector: NAGA FROM THE LEGENDS COLLECTION
A force of unwavering, sheltering support, there are no role-Mothers like The Protectors. They shield us with a ferocious love, and for that we are eternally grateful. To celebrate The Protector, there is nowhere to turn but the Naga, the mythical water dragon who protects the ocean’s pearl. Worn facing inward, the Naga bestows our role-Mothers with abundant love. Worn outward, the Naga protects our great protectors.
