My name is Allister Young and I am a proud Yawuru/Yamatji man, raised on Arrernte country.
_
My journey and passion began at a young age when I would help Poppa carve pearl shell into jewellery and spent many hours fossicking for gemstones and minerals around Australia with my Dad.
_
In 2011, I graduated as a fully qualified craftsman after finishing a Manufacturing Jeweller apprenticeship and have been fortunate to learn and flourish by working alongside some incredibly talented and innovative craftsmen.
-
Combining their knowledge, my skills, passion, inspiration from my cultural heritage and dads endless collection of gemstones, I continues to put my heart into every piece I creates.
-
2018 saw the beginning of Forever Young Jewellery and during 2019 I moved back from Wurundjeri country to Larrakia country - Forever Young Jewellery has been thriving ever since!
-
Every Forever Young Jewellery piece is co-created with their customers throughout the entire process to produce the perfect piece.
