One hallmark of a great piece of jewelry is you know who made it when you see it—and anything from John Hardy’s Dot collection would fit that description.
For the brand’s 50th anniversary, John Hardy is adding three pieces and reissuing five classics in the Dot collection. Prices range from $475 for the new Dot ring to $5,900 for the multi-coil bracelet. Introduced in 1992, Dot has grown into one of John Hardy’s most recognizable collections.
“Dot has always been more than a design—it’s a language. Its rhythm and repetition connect back to Balinese craft while speaking to a universal instinct to create beauty and meaning from simple forms,” says Reed Krakoff, the company’s creative chairman, who notes that Dot jewelry is special because it is clean and unpretentious.
John Hardy added these 37 mm Dot hoop earrings ($850) for the brand’s 50th anniversary.
Krakoff says the updated Dot collection, debuting this week, resonates because it is rooted in the Bali-based John Hardy’s origins. Within Balinese culture, the circle—the shape of all Dot jewels—represents the eternal and infinite. It is also what makes this collection so visually appealing, he says.
All Dot jewelry is sterling silver and handcrafted in Bali. John Hardy used its original master molds from the 1990s for the reissued pieces: a flex cuff, flex choker, coil ring, and two types of coil bracelets. In addition to a ring, the new additions include hoop earrings in two sizes.
John Hardy makes the Dot collection using its longtime Balinese jewelry-making techniques, such as hand weaving, hand hammering, and intricate jawan metalsmithing, in which tiny balls of metal are melted down into fine, decorative ribbons. John Hardy takes the granule-type balls, plays with the proportion, then flattens them to create Dot jewelry pieces.
The coil bracelet ($2,900) is one of the Dot classics John Hardy has reissued this year.
The 2025 Dot jewelry highlights Krakoff’s sculptural, modern take on John Hardy. “Revisiting Dot during our 50th anniversary was about honoring its original spirit while evolving it for today—keeping the soul of the collection intact but exploring proportion, scale, and finish in new ways,” he says.
John Hardy has been a fine jewelry powerhouse since 1975, and is commemorating its five decades in business throughout the year. The brand, started by Canadian artist and eco-activist John Hardy, is known for its silversmithing, chain weaving, granulation, and cutwork.
