FASHION Magazine

The art world was an important starting point for the New York-based jewellery⎯or rather, ring⎯label Bande des Quatres. Started by Erin Wahed, a native Montrealer and recent photography graduate from New York Unviersity’s Tisch School of the Arts, she has collaborated with her mother, Janis Kerman, who manufactures each ring in the collection. Inspired by everything from photography, sculpture, painting, architecture and industrial design, Wahed abstracts these various influences and transforms them into reductive rings composed of geometric forms and fashioned out of 18K gold, silver and semi-precious gemstones.
