What to know about Young Frankk
A painter's hand, not a factory's
Christine Young, trained as a painter, designs and hand-fabricates the pieces in her Richmond studio, in small batches with some one-of-a-kind work.
Plating thicker than industry standard
Recycled brass under 24k gold plating applied heavier than the norm, nickel-free and made in the US — durability is where the price goes.
Abstract forms, minimal silhouettes
Hammered metal, sculptural cuffs and rings, and chunky oversized Classic Chain necklaces, with occasional hats alongside the jewelry.
