The Young Frankk Fall/Winter 2014 collection of rose gold and sterling silver jewelry has been deliberately modeled after caves in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.
Ripples and peaks displayed in the Young Frankk pieces are reflective of grottos that one would find in hillside regions. Given the intricacy of the rivets and shapes, shoppers will surely appreciate the intricate work that goes into the production of these items by designer Christine Young.
In addition to the many complex themes that have been incorporated within this line, Young also hand sculpts each item within wax prior to casting the rings, necklaces and bracelets. The series is therefore quite authentic and durable, adding further appeal to her unique incorporation of cavernous outlines and shapes.
