Spear Collection John Hardy
A NEW ERA OF LUXURY
Under the creative leadership of Reed Krakoff, the brand prepares for its 50th anniversary next year with a new vision and new hit collection.

One evolutionary mark came with the addition of Reed Krakoff as John Hardy’s new creative chairman in late 2022. Krakoff, the three-time Council of Fashion Designers of America award winner for accessory design, quickly put his mark on the brand. Formerly serving as Tiffany’s first chief artistic officer as well as Coach’s president and chief creative director, Krakoff brought an overarching vision to propel the brand forward while still paying homage to its heritage. His latest collection, Spear, reimagines John Hardy’s signature woven chain with a modern twist, using flexible titanium wire for comfort and wearability. The result? Dynamic jewelry designed to be worn by all. The pieces in the Spear collection are adjustable, making them versatile enough for any wardrobe. With diamond pavé details and meticulously crafted designs in sterling silver and two-tone options, this collection is
available in both women’s and men’s styles, giving jewelry enthusiasts the chance to experience the timeless craftsmanship of John Hardy with a distinctly modern edge. “Everything is shown on women and men, and that’s really the approach. I can’t remember a time when jewelry was so genderless,” says Krakoff, under- scoring the collection’s broad appeal. Spear isn’t about quiet luxury but rather tough, cool luxury that can be worn every day, no matter your style — proof that John Hardy is dedicated to continuing its legacy of artisanal excellence while stepping boldly into the future.
