EPICENE is a modern jewelry line pairing architectural design aesthetics with bold sculptural silhouettes to create pieces that feel fresh and avant-garde, yet balanced. With an emphasis on composition and intuitive design, the line is rendered in sliver and brass, often featuring one-of-a-kind semi-precious stones.
Handmade and designed by Annie Johnston in Seattle, Washington, EPICENE was born through her transition into metal fabrication, and is inspired by a lifetime of jewelry design and appreciation. At the heart of her work is the belief that adornment is transformative, evoking a symbiotic relationship between the piece and the wearer, where each part brings life to the other. EPICENE draws inspiration from art and sculpture, vintage costume jewelry, and the natural world, inspiring confidence, creativity, and joy through jewelry.
