I would like to take a moment and thank everyone for tuning in to our first JAI John Hardy show this past Thursday, May 30th.  As you can imagine, a lot of our heart and soul goes into the entire process of bringing an inspiration to life.

The creative process begins nearly a year before each collection is launched, which includes sharing inspirations with our artisan’s, sourcing beautiful gemstones, and presenting our designs to the teams at QVC.  Just like a great recipe, it takes time to perfect each collection.  Scale, composition, harmony, and beautiful gemstones are some of the key elements that I consider when curating each piece.  Most importantly, the special relationship I have working with each of our JAI artisan’s allows us to bring these amazing wearable works of art to each of you.

Yet, it is not until that red light on the QVC camera goes off at the end of the show that I can reflect on the entire process.  This is when I will know if you loved the designs as much as we loved creating them for you.

Your response to last Thursday’s show exceeded our wildest expectations!  I don’t know what got me more excited:  introducing the new collections on air with Jill, or calling the next day to our lead JAI artisan to tell him the amazing news of the great sell-out show.  I wanted to take a moment to let you know how completely overjoyed and humbled our artisans were by your response towards the collections.  So, on behalf of the entire JAI and QVC teams, please accept our gratitude for embracing our designs, inspirations, and spirit.

Thank you to everyone who hosted a JAI Soiree during the show.  I’m looking forward to making each of our shows an interactive and fun experience for everyone.  What better way to spend an evening:  great friends, delicious drinks, and beautiful jewelry!

I will send out our invite before our next show on June 25th with recipes for some new Thai-inspired mocktails, so don’t forget to mark your calendars!  Please take a moment to ‘like’ our JAI Facebook page and stay connected to all things JAI John Hardy Jewelry.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts, requests, and feedback as you start to embrace and enjoy our JAI Jewelry.  I truly believe we can create beautiful works of wearable art as we travel and explore the Far East together.

Safe Travels,
