ROCK STEADY

In an interview with jeweller to the stars Lynn Ban, we find out about the inspiration behind her glamorous brand, and why it holds such wide appeal

- RENÉE BATCHELOR

Before she burst onto our screens in Bling Empire: New York, jeweller extraordinaire Lynn Ban was already making a name with her eponymous line, thanks to her edgy fashion-led pieces. It's no wonder as Ban, who studied art history and French literature at Cornell, and used to run Lynn Ban Vintage-an expertly curated collection of couture and high fashion pieces from brands like Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent-has always had a sharp eye for style and all that is au courant.

In an interview with us, Ban who was born in Singapore, but left the country as a young child shares about her jewellery line, famous customers and who the Lynn Ban woman (or man) is.
