Orion’s Opal Earrings by Meredith Young

Specs: A stellar combination of gemstones, Orion’s Opal Earrings are out of this world. The pave triangle tops feature 1.52 cts of gray spinels, .35 cts of denim spinel, and .6 cts of color-change garnets. Suspended below, dreamy, elongated, pear-cut opal drops hang like stars in the night sky. With classic post backs, these earrings are both comfortable and offer a touch of cosmic wonder.

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.
