Diamond Huggie by Meredith Young

Specs: Diamonds burst over a dome of 18k gold with concave marks accentuating the sense of dispersion and outward energy.  Featuring .6 ctw of white diamonds, these earrings hug the ears with leverbacks for security. The satin finish contrasts with the high polish gallery on the back.

Story: From the moment she first held a torch at sixteen, Meredith Young discovered a lifelong passion for transforming metal and minerals into jewelry that speaks to both body and soul.  Meredith’s fine jewelry is rooted in consciousness and crafted from ethically sourced metals, rare minerals, and unusual colored diamonds. Each limited-edition piece is more than adornment—it is a cultural artifact, honoring American craftsmanship and the magnificence of the natural world.  Her designs embody a dialogue of contrasts: geometric meets organic, culture meets nature, order meets chaos. The result is an ethereal yet edgy aesthetic that feels timeless and deeply personal.  After nearly a decade balancing a corporate career with late nights at the workbench, Meredith took the leap in 2016 to pursue jewelry full-time. Drawing on her background in art history and lifelong love of minerals, she creates works that tell stories in gold and stone through texture, form, and color.
