Jo Hayes Ward is a fine jeweller fascinated by harnessing the power of light. Her aesthetic centres around multiple intricate elements coming together to form each composition. The results are magic; her designs are described as wearable sculpture.

Jo’s metamorphic aesthetic hints at geological form. Her celebration of 3D shape and texture lends her work an architectural but also organic feel.

Jo is fastidious about detail, positioning each block and facet meticulously so that light catches the many delicate elements dramatically and shadows form; flashing on and off, her jewellery comes to life.

Jo is passionate about jewellery working hard for the wearer. Her unique designs mean that her pieces are timeless and versatile enough for any style or occasion, with the intention of being passed down for future generations to enjoy.

Since launching the business in 2006 Jo has developed eleven main JHW collections. She also takes bespoke commissions, customising and repurposing unworn or unloved jewellery into new pieces created in her aesthetic.
