The mark of a great jeweler is instantly recognizable designs. And no jeweler is as closely associated with cable designs as David Yurman. Discover the origins and evolutions of the iconic David Yurman Cable jewelry and explore some key pieces from the collection.
The Beginnings of David Yurman Cable Jewelry
In 1980, David Yurman and his wife, Sybil, established the David Yurman brand after some success selling intricately designed jewelry. That same year, the Starlight necklace, characterized by multiple thick strands of yellow gold wires studded with diamonds, is awarded the Jury Award from the World Gold Council. This award-winning necklace is, in fact, the predecessor to the future David Yurman Cable design.
Inspired by a helix, in 1983, the first David Yurman Cable bracelet makes its debut and the cable motif becomes a signature design of the house. In 1997, the David Yurman Cable collection made headlines again as the Silver Ice lineup was the first time a major jeweler incorporated diamonds into sterling silver jewelry. That year also saw the introduction of the David Yurman Cable Watch Collection.
Over the ensuing years, David Yurman has crafted the famous cable design into a range of jewelry pieces. It’s one of the most familiar styles in designer jewelry and always effortlessly chic.
