a natural fascination DAVID YURMAN

As a child, David Yurman stole moments for himself, often playing hooky to wander to his favorite spot in the woods: An area with large trees and cable vines strong enough to swing from. Little did he know at the time, but David Yurman was creating memories he would later recall, in order to sculpt some of the most iconic jewelry designs in the world. In its primary form, cable is found throughout all of nature’s designs. And this spring, David Yurman is celebrating cable’s connection with art, technology, and nature as he reinvisions the foundation of his legendary jewelry collection.

Deco 6.5mm link necklace in 18K yellow gold, $13,800.

Cable Edge ring with black diamonds, $1,750.

CABLE EDGE After almost forty years, Cable remains at the heart of David Yurman’s designs, changing, adapting, and evolving, all while remaining a constant staple for the designer. This year, Cable, his artistic signature, is getting a new formation.

Cable Edge cuff with black diamond, $2,200.

Cable Edge is based not on multiple wires, but on one forged, rectangular shape that is torqued, which echoes early metal pieces that David’s son, Evan, created. Offered for both men and women, these boldly modern designs are crafted from recycled sterling silver or yellow gold with hand-set diamonds carefully plotted to amplify Cable Edge’s fluting.
