Parts of Four, which the brand shortens to P4, is the work of Evan Sugerman, an artist from Los Angeles who started the label in 2011. His background is in sculptural processes, and you can read that in everything: material leads form, and the pieces are meant as what the brand calls magical objects. Its own words for them are hard-edged, solid, industrialized shamanic tools, which says more than I could. The jewelry is ungendered and non-seasonal, so nothing here belongs to a trend calendar. The Talisman series is built on hand-selected natural crystals, and the Disk danburite pendant necklace is the piece in this group closest to that idea. The Sistema family is the backbone for rings: a sterling silver band, a diamond band, a ruby version and the Terrestrial Surfaced diamond ring. The Crevice v2 and the Foldform crescent are more architectural, and the X Fangophilia Joint ring has the most attitude. On the wrist, the Ultra Reduction bracelet, the Large Roman link bracelet and the Grade Chain charm bracelet all stack well with the Sistema bangle. If you wear metal with some weight, sculptural gold jewelry with bold links and fluid cuffs shows how far that mood goes, and a guide to signets, stacks and how to choose a ring covers the rest.

The watches are the part of P4 that surprises people who only know the jewelry, and they follow the same sculptural logic. The names read like a small vocabulary: Skeleton in 40mm and 42mm, a pavé Skeleton, Oblivion, Phantom in 44mm and a long list of FOB references with their own numbers. The collaboration versions come under X Fob Paris, which fits a brand that keeps a boutique at 36 Rue Charlot in Paris as well as one in Bangkok, in Sathon. Hyperstrap appears in two of the names, so the strap clearly matters as much as the case. For fit, the 40mm cases are the easier choice on a smaller wrist, while the 44mm Phantom reads as a statement. What I would skip is wearing the Phantom 44mm with a wide cuff on the same wrist; the case wants room, so let it be the one heavy piece on that arm and move the bracelets to the other side. Mixed metals are no problem here, since the brand never meant these pieces to match. If you want to see how other labels handle a metal cuff, the hardware bangle edit is a good place to compare.

The brand is run by Evan Sugerman together with CEO and investor Damian Yurkievich, and the Paris boutique shows how far a Los Angeles sculptor's idea has traveled. If I were building around P4, I would begin with one Sistema ring and the Ultra Reduction bracelet, then add the danburite pendant when I wanted a talisman. After that I would pick a single watch, probably a 40mm Skeleton. For the wrist work that follows, I like the way enewton stacks built by hand and collar necklaces with a sculptural shape treat bare metal, and both are good company for this brand.

If you want to keep going, Yi Collection Jewelry and Rings and Cendre Jewelry And Watches pair well with this edit.
