About David Yurman

Learn About the brand

David Yurman, a sculptor by training, and Sybil, his muse and partner, embarked on a journey in the 1960s that would lead them to create one of the most recognized jewelry brands in the world. Their story began in the bustling art world of New York, where they played pivotal roles. David's background in sculpture laid the foundation for the brand's signature styles, while Sybil's keen sense of business and aesthetics helped shape the brand's identity.<br><br> Their paths, interestingly, had crisscrossed many times. Both New Yorkers at heart, they had unknowingly frequented the same coffee shop and even sought solace in Californian communes. Destiny, however, had its own timeline, choosing the perfect moment in their 20s to finally entwine their lives.<br><br> The 1960s was a time of change, and as New York city buzzed with art and innovation, David and Sybil dreamt of a jewelry brand that would capture the essence of New York. David's sculptures weren't just metal and stone; they were pieces of the city's soul. It was during a moment of inspiration, looking at the intertwining structures of the city, that he envisioned the cable motif. This wasn't just a design; it was a symbol of strength, eternity, and the intertwined destinies of the city's inhabitants. Retailers clamored to stock it, marking a pivotal moment in the brand's illustrious history.<br><br> Years passed, and David's passion for innovation only grew. He boldly combined the shimmer of sterling silver with the timeless elegance of diamonds. But success wasn't immediate. It took years, and it was in the wisdom of his forties that the world finally recognized his genius. The legacy they began didn't stop with them. Their son, Evan, with artistry in his veins, joined the family business, infusing fresh energy and ideas. One of their most iconic creations, the cable bracelet introduced in 1983, remains a testament to their commitment. For David, it wasn't just a bracelet; it symbolized the union of two souls in perfect harmony.<br><br> Today, David Yurman is more than a name. It's a chronicle of love, artistry, and ceaseless innovation, where every piece isn't just jewelry; it's a testament to passion, perseverance, and the timeless allure of beauty.
