David Yurman Jewelry started in the 1979 by David and Sybil Yurman. Yurman’s road to fame started in when he immersed himself in the free spirited world of San Francisco countercultural movement of the 1960’s. With a few years of experience as a welder, Yurman became a shop foreman for sculptor Hans Van de Bovenkamp. That’s when he met Sybil Kleinrock, his soon to be business partner and wife.
In the early 1970’s David and Sybil moved to upstate New York and started Putman Art Works. After David and Sybil were married in 1979, they started David Yurman Jewelry. Worldwide recognition of the Yurman brand came in 1987 when David Yurman debuted some of his designs (including the famous cable bracelet) at the World Watch and Jewelry Show in Basel, Switzerland.
David Yurman jewelry is different from other major jewelry brands in a sense that each piece tells an individual story but also belongs to a larger collection. David and Sybil approached their designs as works of art that were meant to be worn and displayed as collections rather than individual pieces. In the 1980’s and 1990’s when more and more women began buying jewelry for themselves, David Yurman pieces were collected as they were pieces of art.
Today, David Yurman jewelry is just as stunning and just as collectable. Whether you are looking for a standalone piece of Yurman jewelry or a piece that is missing from your collection, we are here to help. Ermitage Jewelry carries a large variety of David Yurman pieces at absolutely unbeatable prices.
