The four High Jewelery collections by David Yurman, with a necklace made up of 7,000 spinels ♦ ︎
If David Yurman is a magnificent name in the jewelery world, it will also be that of Evan Yurman. The son of the founder of the American Maison debuted with the high jewelery in July, during the Haute Couture in Paris. The pieces presented for the fall-winter season 2017-2018 are distributed in four collections: Dubbed Stax, Petals, Pearls and Gems. Different solutions, different ideas and the same precious wealth of elements are the characteristic of collections. Already the name indicates the different paths from the collections. Petals, for example, was inspired by David Yurman’s nocturnal designs, awakened by the croak of frogs in his Putnam home, north of New York. Pearl, on the other hand, is obviously dedicated to the round and dark-eyed daughters of the South Seas and Tahiti. Gems, as it is easy to imagine, privileges the stones. To note a necklace that is the fruit of 186 hours of work, made in 16 threads of 7,000 red beads cut to beads, plus 412 diamonds. Margherita Donato
