EPICfail (+ a Giveaway)

EPICfail-1-Design-Crush

 

I’ve been a fan of Christine Fail’s jewelry since she launched her first line, and only fell more in love with her classic organic pieces after meeting her in New York a few months ago. Christine’s latest line – EPICfail – is a foray into higher end jewelry that launched in September. The collection of 14k gold and sterling silver jewelry is accented with rose-cut diamonds and is intentionally ring-focused, with many of the pieces designed as contemporary ceremony rings. The collection includes six rings in a variety of widths and thicknesses, three pendant necklaces, two pairs of earrings, and a cuff. The line still fits Fail’s minimal aesthetic, but elegant texture is the focal point.

With EPICfail, I’m returning to my roots in fine jewelry. I have been excited by the challenge of incorporating some of the more advanced techniques I am mastering, such as wax carving and stone setting, into the collection,” Fail says. “I’ve always been my own muse — creating pieces I would want to wear, knowing there was a customer with my sensibilities — and the same applies to EPICfail.”

    Why am I not familiar with her jewelry? It’s lovely and perfect for me as well as my college-age daughter. I see some holiday wish list adding in my future and in hers!

    I love many many pieces of this collection! In my dreams i would choose a ring because i’m divorced and not wearing a ring anymore since 4 yrs. I miss it so much. Bying a ring myself is just not the same. If i win the slope ring it would symbolise my new start…
    love, Cal
