John Hardy Spear Flex Cuff Sterling Silver with Black Sapphires 5.5 mm [CBS9011074BLS]

The John Hardy Spear Flex Cuff combines the cool lustre of Sterling Silver with the dark intensity of hand-set treated black sapphires. Artisan handcrafted from 100% reclaimed Sterling Silver, style CBS9011074BLS wraps around the wrist in a sculptural 5.5 mm bypass silhouette that balances substantial presence with streamlined proportions.

Black sapphire pavé defines the functional keeper clasp, creating a rich tonal contrast against the polished and textured silver. The stones are ethically sourced and set by hand, concentrating their deep colour precisely where the cuff’s two sides connect. Because the sapphires are incorporated into the clasp rather than distributed across the entire bracelet, they create a controlled focal point without diminishing the strong silver design.

The closure uses a distinctive needle-and-eye-inspired action. One honed terminal threads through the open centre of the keeper clasp, joining the two sides while preserving the cuff’s coiled appearance. This precise fastening movement reflects the Spear collection’s combination of sculptural form and mechanical purpose.

Concealed inside the Sterling Silver body is a slender wire made from aerospace-industry titanium. This internal structure allows the cuff to flex open during fastening and then retain its intended shape. The titanium remains hidden, leaving the hand-carved silver surface uninterrupted while providing the responsive movement central to the design.

John Hardy’s signature chain motif is carved into the body of the bracelet, adding texture and depth throughout its 5.5 mm width. Light moves across the repeating pattern before meeting the darker pavé clasp, creating a transition from bright silver to nearly black gemstone colour. Two sharpened terminals complete the bypass composition and give the collection its recognizable Spear identity.

The wider 5.5 mm profile makes this version more visually substantial than the slimmer 4 mm Spear cuffs. It has enough presence to stand alone as the central wrist statement, yet its monochromatic silver-and-black palette allows it to coordinate naturally with watches, darkened silver jewellery and other Sterling Silver bracelets.

Combining reclaimed precious metal, ethically sourced gemstones, detailed hand carving and a concealed titanium core, the cuff demonstrates how artisan jewellery can incorporate modern engineering without losing its handcrafted character. It makes a distinctive choice for an anniversary, milestone birthday, graduation, career achievement or other meaningful occasion.

Design & Symbolism

The Spear collection translates John Hardy’s artisan heritage into a streamlined and directional form. Its coiled bypass silhouette ends in two carefully honed terminals, creating the elongated profile from which the collection takes its name.

The spear shape can be interpreted as an expression of precision, determination and forward movement. Its threading clasp reinforces this idea as one terminal passes deliberately through the open keeper to unite the bracelet.

Black sapphires introduce deep tonal contrast rather than overt sparkle. Positioned at the connection point, they emphasize the clasp as the visual and functional centre of the design without relying on unverified gemstone symbolism.

The concealed titanium core represents the balance of strength and adaptability. It allows the bracelet to move during fastening while the carved Sterling Silver exterior maintains the appearance of a continuous sculptural form.

Styling

Wear the cuff independently when you want its 5.5 mm profile, carved silver texture and black-sapphire clasp to remain the focus. Its monochromatic palette works naturally with black, white, charcoal, navy, denim and other neutral colours.

For layered styling, combine it with a slimmer Sterling Silver chain or cuff. Varying the widths will create separation while allowing the Spear bracelet to remain the dominant piece.

The dark sapphires also coordinate effectively with blackened silver, steel watches and jewellery containing onyx or other dark-toned materials. Leave enough space around the clasp to keep its threading construction visible.

When stacking, avoid placing the sapphire pavé directly against jewellery with sharp edges. A small amount of separation will help protect the gemstones and preserve the contrasting finishes.

Sizing Guide

Measure the circumference of the wrist above the wrist bone, toward the elbow, using a flexible measuring tape. Keep the tape close to the skin without pulling it excessively tight. If using string or a strip of paper, mark where the ends meet and measure the result against a ruler.

• XS: 5.25–5.75 in (13.33–14.60 cm)
• S: 5.75–6.25 in (14.60–15.87 cm)
• M: 6.25–6.75 in (15.87–17.14 cm)
• L: 6.75–7.25 in (17.14–18.41 cm)
• XL: 7.25–7.75 in (18.41–19.68 cm)
• 2XL: 7.75–8.25 in (19.68–20.95 cm)

John Hardy bracelet sizes are intended to provide a comfortable fit through the upper end of each measurement range. If the wrist falls directly between sizes, choose the smaller size for a closer fit or the larger size for additional movement.

The internal titanium wire allows the cuff to flex during fastening, but the correct size remains important for comfort and secure positioning. Avoid selecting a smaller size with the intention of repeatedly stretching the cuff beyond its natural fit.
