10 Things You Didn't Know about David Yurman
In the world of fine jewelry, David Yurman has reached icon status. The company is family-owned and run with three people at the helm: David, his wife Sybil, and their son Evan. Though they are all artists, David's background in sculpture paved the way for the brand's key styles.
How the Cable Motif Shot Yurman to Stardom
David Yurman made jewelry for over twenty years before stumbling upon the cable motif. As with all of his designs, it started with a sketch. At home in New York City, cable appeared to him at every turn. He saw it in nature and in architecture, and it came to represent a sense of strength and of the infinite. David knew he had something special when he made his first cable piece. David and Sybil showed it to a retail buyer, and a huge order was promptly placed. The cable-twisted pieces sold like crazy and the rest is history.
Here are 10 more facts you may not have known about David Yurman and his cable bracelets:
1. David Yurman was the first major jeweler to combine sterling silver with diamonds.
2. He didn't become enormously successful until he was in his forties.
3. The Yurmans purchased a $17 million townhouse in Greenwich Village in 2015.
4. They also own a 9,000+ square foot penthouse near their corporate headquarters in Tribeca.
5. After the Yurmans got married in the early 1980s, they left the ceremony and went straight to a meeting to sell their company. The buyer didn't offer them enough so they walked away.
6. David and his son Evan are both motorcycle enthusiasts, and they recently listed a luxury bike for sale for $48,000. It is rare because its made from super-strong forged carbon, as opposed to steel.
7. Evan Yurman is married to director/cinematographer Ku-Ling Siegel.
8. David Yurman scented resin pinky rings debuted in 2015, and included scents like black licorice and bubble gum. Scented rings were also worn in the 18th century as novelty pieces.
9. When he was in high school, David Yurman used to sell his handmade small sculptures in the cafeteria during lunch.
10. David and Sybil Yurman were both born and raised near New York City, they both went to the same coffee shop every day, and they both went to California to live on communes. Despite the fact that their lives had so many parallels, they didn't meet until after they returned to NYC later in their 20s.
Let customers speak for us
Item came fast, was in ex cement condition. I would order from here again!
Beautiful Tiffany diamond bracelet from my husband. Excellent quality, delivered quickly and as always, stellar service from the team at Couture! Many thanks!
If you're into fashion and appreciate the design detail and pop for your wardrobe you can achieve through the fashion greats, shop at this store. I own a Burberry purse I paid full price for one at around $2700 and exact bag was available here for $1000. The staff are friendly and positive - not what you would typically experience in the full retail establishment.
I bought the Palm Springs Mini Reverse in excellent condition. I would actually say it was more like brand new condition. Highly recommend this company. 100% satisfied!
They were very accommodating to hold off on shipping until I moved into my new home and I’m pleased with my new Gucci bag. It arrived as advertised and when I had an issue with the NFT scan, someone called immediately to sort it out and help me do that. Very pleased.
Quality bags and wonderful staff!
Had the best experience buying my new sunglasses! Loved the selection and being able to try everything on in the store.
Thoroughly happy with my purchase. Amber was lovely. So many bags to choose from. I love my Prada bag. Like new condition means it looks brand new. Perfect condition.
I’ve had an LV bag on my bucket list for a very long time. I noticed CoutureUSA on Facebook recently and decided to visit their Tampa location as I could never buy an LV online without seeing it in person first. I was a bit skeptical having never been in a consignment store before; however, I was very impressed with the high end products offered, condition and pricing. I purchased a beautiful LV bucket 🩷with the assistance of Amber who was just fabulous. I highly recommend this Tampa boutique and purchasing an authentic designer item. I will be back in the future and always checking out their website for new arrivals!
The staff were so lovely and
