J. HARDYMENT jewelry combines minimalism with unconventional, thoughtful designs that will endure. Welding together artful influences, the brand takes inspiration from a span of periods in art history, timeless fashion, and product design. With an aesthetic rooted in the present, J. HARDYMENT mixes contemporary proportions and design traditions expressing the mindset of the modern woman. The Ruffles Series is influenced by the act of gathering fabric. With a focus on fluid movement, the Single Ruffle Choker adorns the wearer's neck with metallic softness; at once unique, though familiar like the extension of a garment.

The Single Ruffle Choker, like each choker and anklet in the series allows for easily exchangeable hand-made ribbon ties from personally selected Crêpe de Chine silk in a range of colors. This allows for the wearer to transform the look. All pieces are crafted and made with dedication in sterling silver and available plated thickly in 14k yellow gold, 14k rose gold, and white rhodium. Minimal and striking, the piece sits like an object, beautifully adorning a table or on the wearer; a statement object meant to endure.

The business performance of the Single Ruffle Choker has achieved sales and recognition from magazine editors, and stylists in the Chinese film industry with placement on key actresses.

The Single Ruffle Choker from the Ruffles Series is meant to target the modern woman, whether she is 20 or 60, it taps into fashion, without being fleetingly fashionable, and looks at art for a beautiful feminine and bold line that is fluid. The series is born out of the brand's belief and passion that well-designed jewelry should remain relevant, make a statement, and have the power to express one's style and individuality.

The Founder of the brand and 2 full-time employees were involved with the creation of the the Single Ruffle Choker. The Founder and the Creative Director designed the concept, while the 3D Designer sculpted the designs 3 dimensionally, while the Sourcing Manager carried out the production. The designs were all first drawn in 3D, then 3D printed into molds and then cast. Each piece of jewelry was then individually hand finished and polished then plated in gold or rhodium. Each complimentary ribbon was selected then dyed, and hand cut, hemmed, and embroidered. The Single Ruffle Choker has been selected and styled on KOL and Chinese actresses.

The jewelry uses 3D technology and the design is intended to be transformable. With the use of exchangeable ribbons, the possibility for different fabrics and textures as part of each jewelry piece is endless.

From initial design to final product, the project was within 3 months.

The aim of the Single Ruffle Choker from the Ruffle Series was to create jewelry that is bold and different, yet minimal. The results exceeded expectation. The wearer feels embolden and empowered, yet feminine all at the same time.
