And so you’ll find pieces like their Torque Dome Ring, whose bulbous silhouette—which recalls the bold, geometric forms of Art Deco buildings—belies its practicality. Though hefty looking, the dome is in fact unfilled, making the ring remarkably lightweight and leaving space in the interior that Talia and Jeramie like to decorate with “personal elements such as birthstones or secret messages.” Also worth noting is the ring’s corrugated texture, an Erede signature that nods to “a vintage sketch [they] found of [Cini Boeri] refining her Serpentone sofa.” This ridged exterior appears on everything from the Delta Studs , one of Talia’s favorite pieces that’s based on earrings her mom designed for herself in the ‘80s, to the Delta Signet—“the perfect power pinky,” according to Jeramie.

Elsewhere, you’ll find another brand signature, the diamond-studded hinge design. Jeramie and Talia cite Carlo Scarpa’s staircase sketches as the source of inspiration for both this motif and the general “industrial” spirit of their line. The duo says Erede’s rings are designed to be “a kind of jigsaw puzzle that fits together,” a detail that’s instantly evident in the Billow Ring, which is made by piecing together two separately cast forms of 18k yellow gold and platinum. The two came up with the idea for the ring after accidentally spilling rhodium plating on one of their yellow gold pieces.

From there, everything is rendered with an unadorned elegance, exquisite pragmatism, and a dreamy blend of the old and new.

It’s no coincidence that Erede’s aesthetic bristles with the ineffable, treasure-like quality typical of the most enviable vintage jewelry. Jeramie and Talia are seasoned vintage fanatics, and hail from a long lineage of them as well. Ask them about the pieces they’re perennially on the hunt for, and they’ll gush over the innovative wearability of 1930s- and 1940s-era trailblazers like René Boivin—they have a soft spot for his “Toit” rings—or the unique minimalism of Jean Dinh Van’s handcuff-inspired Menottes collection (1978). Like both of their grandmothers, the two are avid collectors of vintage jewelry, and even sell an assortment of their finds—sourced from auctions around the world and most often “heavy in gold with a modernist silhouette”—under the category “Erede Curated.” 

If that accounts for the “old,” then the balance of “new” comes from the founders’ uncompromising commitment to ethical and conscious sourcing. Erede works with two of the very few NYC-based workshops that use only certified 18k recycled gold to make every piece in-house. And they work exclusively with reclaimed or lab-grown diamonds and stones. Such a move will inevitably help normalize cultured stones, which still carry a stigma despite being chemically identical to their natural counterparts. Plus, they explain, lab-grown diamonds and stones can be “customized [in such a way] to fit their designs rather than designing around pre-existing stones.” Which in turn allows “for endless creative possibilities.”
