Hello! My name is Dana Young.

I created Dana Young Jewelry in order to spread a vision that I strongly believe in; We can save the world and look cute doing it.

After ten years in the fast paced New York fashion industry, I had grown tired of seeing the way jewelry was produced and sold by many major retailers. I no longer wanted to be a part of a world that mistreats artisans and workers, promotes cruelty to animals and makes women feel badly about themselves through unrealistic photography and financial envy. It is time that the fashion industry evolves.

Dana Young Jewelry is committed to sustainability and localized production. All of the production is done domestically, with the majority of it being done in my own studio. I use as much recycled metal in the jewelry as possible.

The line is entirely vegan and benefits our planet, therefore 10% of Dana Young Jewelry’s profits go to animal welfare and environmental organizations associated with the collections.
