An Absolute Masterclass in Dark Luxury Art and Rock n Roll Craftsmanship
Frankie Hollywood here and MELTED is all about the artists who push boundaries, which is exactly why we brought master jeweler James Aurora of Aurora Jewelers into the universe. It might seem unexpected to have a jeweler on a rock and roll station, but James isn’t making ordinary pieces—he is crafting the heavy, gothic, and dark aesthetic statement pieces that define rock culture. This conversation was a full deep dive into how custom jewelry, dark symbolism, and creative passion collide with underground culture, fashion, and music.
