Jo Hayes Ward celebrates shape and form, harnessing the power of light to dazzling effect in her fine jewellery collections created in solid 18ct gold.
Jo is fastidious about detail, positioning each block and facet meticulously so that light catches the many delicate elements dramatically and shadows form; her jewellery comes to life - that is the magic of her wearable sculpture. Jo’s designs are described as metamorphic; the aesthetic hints at geological form, with multiple intricate elements combining to create each composition. This lends her work an architectural but also organic feel.
Jo is passionate about her jewellery working hard. Her unique, timeless aesthetic means that her designs are versatile enough to be dressed up or down, whatever your style.
Since launching the business in 2006 Jo has developed eleven main JHW collections, which all her designs fall into. She also takes bespoke commissions, customises and repurposes jewellery into new pieces in her aesthetic.
