Christine Fail

With a BFA in studio art, designer Christine Fail's background is firmly rooted in art and design.

Christine's mission is to provide quality handmade jewelry at accessible price points. Each piece is delicately handcrafted in her Austin, TX studio and as a result of her background in metalsmithing, a hammer touches all of the pieces.

Most pieces start out as wire or sheet and the form is created by cutting and hammering, making each piece truly unique. The result is a collection of everyday essentials made up of heirloom quality forged hoops and hooks, handcrafted in 14k gold.
