“I think jewellery adjusts to the body, and when you show the jewellery collection, the body is not there,” says Hardy. “It’s just objects on a box or in a window. I thought it was nice to place the pieces of jewellery and the body together and see how they can react together.”

It’s a setting with which Hardy is very familiar. In a previous life, the designer was a professional dancer. The show, and the jewellery proved he’s also an intellectual. The choreography by Rizzo was meant to evoke how human beings are linked, with the dancers intertwining like the jewellery itself. It’s a nice metaphor given that jewellery is almost always inevitably linked either with emotional bonding or feats of accomplishment. But here, pure lust will suffice: Hardy’s interpretation of the chain is enough to make one ponder dipping into a savings account.
