Hari Jewels of New York makes and sells a collection of timelessly styled pieces that almost appear to be from another era, or a faraway land that time forgot. Hari’s interesting items, like the diamond snake or alligator rings to name but two, make you wonder whether you aren’t sifting through found relics from a sunken ship or the crown jewels of an ancient, unrecorded civilization.
Authentic Style Never Fades

The just-discovered trove of Viking jewelry on a farm in Denmark contains jewelry that bears a striking, eerie resemblance to modern day styles. Considering the fact that the Viking necklaces, chains, and geometric cross pendants are over 1,300 years old is mind-boggling.

Why is it that a contemporary purveyor like Hari Jewels of New York has so much in common with unique, time-honored adornments hundreds of years and thousands of miles away? Is there something in the human urge to decorate ourselves that innately comprehends the idea of beauty and elegance? Maybe so. At least that is what you might gather while flipping through a series of Hari Jewels display photos.
The Alligator and the Snake

Historic decorative relics are awash with animal imagery from the tiniest insect to the grandest bears and tigers. For centuries, humans have felt the need to wear metal and precious stone likenesses of animals. The Hari Jewels diamond rings, one of a coiled snake, another of a crawling alligator, would have been at home among the recent Denmark discovery, which contained round-eared animal heads and mysterious winged creatures.

The Hari Jewels collection exudes an estate-sale ambiance, a high-end heirloom look that might be from any era or any civilization. The majority of the pendants, earrings, rings and bracelets feature hand-tooled metal and gemstones that are as much art as wearable body decor. Maybe fashion never really goes out of style.
