David Yurman jewelry is so called as the man behind the company is David Yurman, an American jewelry designer who has established his very own brand to become one of the most luxurious jewelry brands in the present day.

Yurman started out as an artist to begin with and his main love was in sculpture. At a very early age David Yurman was designing tiny sculptures which he would then take to school and then sell on to his high school associates (he even made a bit of income from it). Although Yurman was very good academically this was not where his heart lay and he made the huge decision to leave college to chase his ambition of being a commercial artist.

Yurman spent his early years residing in Manhattan which during those times was THE spot to be for any aspiring artist. Circled by kindred spirits David thrived within this habitat and was able to advance as an artist. During his stay in Greenwich Village David met Sybil, who later became his wife. Sybil was also an artist and their joint love of art also led to a mutual love between the young couple. David continued with his art but was more and more affected by Sybil who became the object of his artistic desire. He would usually design and style pieces for her to put on and one such item turned out to be the spark that led to his future fame.

On one visit to an art show the owner approached Sybil wondering if he could order the buckle she was wearing. Chuckling at the proposal Sybil explained that she couldn't possibly do that as it was crafted by her boyfriend. David diplomatically declined the offer of producing exactly the same buckle in great quantities for the owner but he did begin to think of the commercial appeal of his art which ultimately directed the couple to form their own company.

Their company did quite well but only really had the first taste of success when David Yurman designed a silver bracelet that was, and still is, known as the "cable bracelet". This design and style continues to be an influence on many of today's jewelry pieces.

Inspired by an early design he saw David was successful in making a sterling silver braided effect of metal turned into a bracelet. The style and design was so succesful that the company was bombarded with orders ! Resulting from the sheer success of the Yurman cable bracelet he felt inspired and prompted to create other pieces. Pretty soon, charms and engagement rings were part of the David Yurman jewelry collection and often the cable thread style was present in these other jewelry pieces too Although Yurman designed jewelry with some other materials whether they are gold or precious stones his preferred material to work with has always been silver even today the great majority of his jewelry is designed from silver.

Within the last couple of years Yurman has started designing high-end designer watches. Yurman wrist watches are not surprisingly very classy and one of the collection has been a labor of love for Yurman. The Ancestrale timepiece is among the most very best watches ever created and no attention to fine detail has been spared.
