John Hardy, renowned for its innovative jewelry design, has partnered with acclaimed musicians Billie Eilish and Finneas for its first-ever collection of lab-grown diamond jewelry, dubbed “JH Lovestruck.” Co-created with the brand’s creative chairman Reed Krakoff, this collection reveals a new perspective on diamond aesthetics, shifting the focus from traditional value to exceptional brilliance through organic, freeform shapes inspired by John Hardy’s signature pebble designs.
The Lovestruck collection defies convention with four proprietary diamond cuts, showcasing stones crafted into organic, unconventional shapes. The collaboration embraces the use of lab-grown diamonds, allowing for creative freedom and the development of unique cuts unavailable with natural stones. This innovative approach has resulted in a collection that is both sculptural and modern, catering to the tastes of those who appreciate jewelry that fits effortlessly into everyday life.
Key pieces in the collection include a 14-karat yellow gold link necklace featuring a custom-cut 4-carat diamond, a pair of drop earrings with 5 carats of proprietary-cut diamonds, and various rings, bracelets, and necklaces crafted in either 14-karat yellow gold or sterling silver. Noteworthy elements like the “Heishi” bracelet and earring styles incorporate other materials such as onyx and orange spiny oyster shell beads, enhancing the collection’s eclectic appeal.
In addition to its design excellence, the Lovestruck collection aligns with Billie and Finneas’s advocacy for sustainability, as all pieces are produced using renewable energy. John Hardy has committed to supporting philanthropic initiatives dear to the musicians, including efforts to combat climate change and promote plant-based diets through organizations like Support + Feed.
By integrating lab-grown diamonds and reclaimed precious metals, the Lovestruck collection represents a new chapter in jewelry, emphasizing environmental consciousness alongside style and individuality. As John Hardy celebrates its 50th anniversary, this lab-grown diamond collection heralds a new era of jewelry design that is as thoughtful as it is beautiful.
