When you walk into the Fink’s Jewelers in Lynchburg, VA, you’ll likely be greeted by Donna Young’s warm smile and welcoming personality. A seasoned expert with nearly two decades of experience, Donna has
become a beloved fixture at Fink’s. Her journey into the world of luxury jewelry is as unique as the pieces she sells, and her passion for helping customers find that perfect piece shines just as bright.
In the Right Place at the Right Time I first joined Fink’s in 2004 at their location in River Ridge Mall in Lynchburg. I had been working in the cell phone industry when our jeweler crossed paths with me and suggested I’d be a good fit for the jewelry business. After taking a few years off to focus on my family, I returned in 2009 and have been at the Lynchburg location ever since. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with such a great company for nearly 18 years! It’s In the Heart-Felt Moments I love how personal jewelry is. Whether it’s a self-purchase or part of a love story, each piece has meaning. I enjoy hearing those stories and helping people select something that represents a special moment in their lives. It’s a happy business to be in—there’s always excitement around purchasing jewelry, whether it’s a diamond for an engagement or a fashion piece to complete an outfit. Loving What’s Trending I’ve been drawn to layering and stacking lately. It’s fun to mix and match different pieces to create something unique. I love David Yurman’s designs, especially how his pieces layer so well with other brands like John Hardy. But, I also feel a special connection to Fink’s exclusive Sabel collection, which holds a lot of sentimental value because it’s named after Marc’s mother and Matthew’s grandmother. Exploring Life Beyond the Store I’m an outdoorsy person! Growing up near the water in Gloucester County, I love fishing and hiking. Nowadays, I live in the mountains, so you’ll often find me exploring the Appalachian Trail. I also enjoy traveling when I can, spending time with my family, and giving back to causes like the Ovarian Cancer Society, which is close to my heart.
