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
Couture never ending shopping, just when you think you’ve seen everything they have, think again something new every day shows up at this awesome boutique gotta love it!❤️
Only place I trust for my pre-loved purchases! Customer service is excellent and easy returns or exchanges make it a stress free shopping experience.
Absolutely stunning and love the bag! Fast shipping
Pleasantly surprised to find a huge selection of well organized, easy to shop luxury items. Everything I touched was in amazing condition. I walked out with 3 new treasures on my first visit there.
Couture USA is the most authentic, credible and amazing online boutique I have ever purchased from. I believe I have purchased at lease 12 items so far, just getting warmed up. They are tough with their “condition grading scale”, which is what makes couture USA a whole higher caliber. Every item is 100% authentic, As is their condition rating system from Fair to New. When they state an item is in “good” condition” , to me it’s “ like new” when I receive it! The devil is in the detail and they don’t miss a scratch or slight wear and tear, which I would’ve never noticed with an untrained eye! So they are a trusted source. What you see in the description you read is exactly what you get, and usually even better than expected in person!! I am grateful to have found their store and website! A+++
Love love LOVED my experience with Couture USA! So kind, so informative, and very responsive with questions on pieces. I did take my piece to my LV CA and she scanned and verified its authenticity so they are 100% on their authenticity.
I have purchased many items here and have loved them all! Most recently I found a dream Chanel chocolate brown lambskin Diana! Brooke, and Amber are amazing and so helpful!
As usual, I go in to look at the merchandise. I always go on the website first to view what I will be most interested in seeing. They’re so much fun and helpful. Even though I have my favorites, I look at EVERYTHING. They just let me do my thing. They know me and just check on me periodically while I go about my business 😍.
I always enjoy the excursion❣️
I bought my third bag from Couture. This one is a Chanel. I love it. As usual their merchandise is exquisite
I have purchased many items from Couture. It is my favorite place to shop.
Another marvelous experience with Couture Boutique. I always wanted the Chanel watch with diamonds, the “it” watch and Catherine personally helped me, sent me the two extra links and the watch is absolutely gorgeous, for literally half price from what it sells for at the Chanel boutique. Great merchandise and also great service. I only wish I was closer to Tampa, but I am in the Bay Area. Thanks again for this new addition to my collection.
I decided I need to buy myself a birthday gift and found the most beautiful Gucci satchel. It is like new and perfect size. Couldn’t be happier
A wonderful experience!
The best service and the best prices on top brands. I will definitely be back.
Amazing experience from start to finish. All my questions/concerns were professionally dealt with:) Amber even sent additional information to help me make my purchase. I love the bag & the people who made it possible. Will be back for more…
I was contacted by one of the employees Brooke after letting her know months ago that I was interested in a long Chanel necklace. She contacted me as soon as it came into the shop and sent me pictures, and I went there in person and fell in love with the necklace and purchased it. It was presented in a Chanel box. Everything that I’ve ever purchased from the store is in immaculate shape. The service is impeccable. I love the way they display their purses, shoes, and accessories the store. If they don’t have the bag that you’re looking for, just let Brooke know and she will let you know as soon as it comes into the store. You can’t ask for better service.
