I visited the Bali factory of John Hardy. I wasn't allowed to take photos of the workshop area but it was pretty impressive. The original mold is still hand-carved from wax and the chains are all hand woven. It's hard work! The quality control is impressive and in the Bali workshop, there are 700 workers and 500 in Bangkok that does stone-setting. Anyway, I got to take a photo of the rest and some blings on display with colored stones and even tried some. Here are the photos.
There a mural at the reception representing their lines like the dragon, eagle, etc. The way to the workshop are beautifully landscaped nature with locally designed structures. At the reception is also a table book showing the designing/drawing of their products.
There is a mini museum showing what we've seen at the work shop, how the chains are handmade and the intricacy of details in making the pieces. The drawing of the designs are still done by hand with pencil and watercolor. On the way to the showroom is a fantastic view of nature.
