Bali-based brand, Carina Hardy, hosted recently a trunk show at Comme Ci in Powerplant Mall, Rockwell, Makati City. The brand showcased their 18k Stages Collection which plays with dimensionality and stones. Bodies emerge from a tapestry of textured ancient gold leaf, with diamond and sapphire pavé. Inspired by Gustav Klimt’s art, the collection explores four distinct phases in a woman’s life: Femme Fatale, Lover, Creator, and Matriarch. The brand brought a small special selection of pieces to display for pre-order during their three-day visit.
Carina Hardy is guided by the Balinese philosophy, which teaches the relevance of harmony. It’s rooted in love, distinctive, beautiful, quietly powerful and confident in a limited number of pieces. Most importantly, they put serious attention to being crafted by hands, use of only certified recycled gold and silver, stone setting in Thailand. They harness history and modernity to create excellent and quality jewelry.
Designers Carina and Tavish share beauty as their love language in everything they do. Carina is daughter of famed jewelry designer John Hardy, who is the founder of Green School, Green Village and Bambu Indah in Bali.
Carina studied Art History and has created art in many mediums, including plaster, inflatables, ice and metal. Tavish studied Philosophy, and started a boutique contracting firm before falling in love with Carina and moving to Bali.
As long-time inhabitants of the island they are deeply connected to its ethos and people. This connection reflects in the work by both Carina and Tavish and their dedication to beauty and craftsmanship.
