Palu is a collection of big ideas with strong roots in Bali’s artisan traditions that began in 2002. “Palu” is the Balinese word for “hammer", called the silversmith’s primary tool because work always begins by hammering the metal before shaping it. Balinese ritual vessels are made with this technique, with the artisan’s wife helping him by tending the forge’s fire as he hammers the heated silver. Palu collection, Bedarida looked just above the shimmering water of his inspiration to the seascapes of billowing sails of yachts and island sailboats. The Palu, or battered, texture of the surfaces reflects light just as water mirrors the sun’s rays. Highly architectural cuffs take on the soft lines and volume of a ship’s sails, contrasting the hammered and smooth textures while edging the cuff in the carved chain patterns. The graduated texture of hand-hammered silver is softened and polished to reduce contrast and yield a softly consistent, elegant finish. The forms of this new evolution of the Palu motif seem to wrap the body in swaths of silver. Palu Silver The Palu Silver collection includes cuffs, pendants, earrings and rings featuring the new sail silhouette and nuanced hand-hammered Palu surfaces. The collection has a dramatic silver look, but the hollow, voluminous pieces are light and easy to wear. One of John Hardy’s signature pieces, the Palu sautoir necklace can be wrapped or stacked, making the sensual piece also incredibly versatile. Palu Gold and Silver The Palu Gold & Silver collection deepens the variations of the new design based on the ship’s sail, with wide expanses of 22k gold lending a light, but striking look. The floating earrings and pendant give the appearance of sail curling as the wind envelopes it. John Hardy is available at Azal in Emirates Towers Boulevard, Dubai
