Jewelry designer David Yurman is most-known for his signature Cable Classic bracelets, but before he was an international jewelry sensation, Yurman was a talented sculptor and passionate artist. We trace Yurman’s personal history, chronicling his transition from artist to beloved jewelry designer.

David Yurman’s Early Years
David Yurman was born on Long Island, New York in 1942. As a high school student, Yurman sold small sculptures in his school’s cafeteria. But his artistic ambition was really ignited when he met Ernesto Gonzales, a Cuban welder and sculptor. The two met in the artist town of Provincetown, Massachusetts where Yurman was visiting his sister for the summer. Gonzales introduced Yurman to welding, teaching Yurman how to wield a hot torch to heat and fuse metal. Yurman’s interest in sculpture deepened and he began experimenting with his own metal sculptures and jewelry designs.

After graduating high school, Yurman was briefly enrolled at New York University. However, after his freshmen year, in true bohemian spirit, Yurman dropped out of school and hitch-hiked his way to California where he joined a beatnik artist colony on the rugged Big Sur coastline.

In the late 1960s, the Art Movement drew Yurman back to New York City. Yurman worked with Hans Van de Bovenkamp who is best known for his large scale and abstract sculptures. It was in Bovenkamp’s West Village studio that Yurman met Sybil Kleinrock, a Bronx native and gifted painter. The two quickly fell in love.

David Yurman the Brand
Yurman’s venture into jewelry making was largely unintentional. Yurman designed a sculpturally-inspired piece for Sybil who wore it to an art gallery opening. The gallery owner asked to reproduce and sell Yurman’s design. However, Yurman declined, claiming Sybil’s gift was too personal to share and sell commercially. This wasn’t a missed opportunity in Sybil’s mind, however; rather it was proof that there was a ready market interested in Yurman’s designs.

After the couple was married in 1979, the newlyweds launched their namesake brand in 1980. In 1983, Yurman introduced his now-signature piece: the cable bracelet. His double-helix of winding silver ropes with finial ends was a commercial success and spring boarded the David Yurman brand. The cable bracelet remains a best-seller today and is a cornerstone motif of the David Yurman aesthetic, frequently incorporated into various new designs.

Yurman made waves again in 1997 when he became the first prominent designer to set diamonds in sterling silver. This was a bold and innovative departure from classic fine jewelry and transformed the industry’s opinion of this technique.

David Yurman Today
Today, the David Yurman brand remains a family-owned and run company. Yurman and Sybil remain at the company’s helm and their son, Evan, is the head of men’s jewelry and watches. And David Yurman continues to grow; there are now 30 David Yurman stores worldwide. The brand offers an array of jewelry, fine jewelry, engagement and wedding rings. In 2003, the brand expanded into watchmaking, establishing a new company in Swizerland to develop their timepieces. David Yurman received an award at Baselworld in 2006 for their exceptional booth design.

David Yurman boasts an incredible career, from his start as a young sculptor to a New York artiste to now one of the most influential jewelry designers in the world.

We met up with jewelry designer Joanie Landau to talk about her newest jewelry line. With a passion that was unknowingly sparked at a bead store in Santa Fe, NM., Joanie’s driving force is her love of unique and beautiful designs.

TrueFacet: We would love to hear a bit more about your journey into jewelry design and how you got started.

Joanie Landau: In Santa Fe I found this store and I had to stop. Much to my husband’s chagrin, we were in the store for hours. I spent $1000 retail on beads and stones because they were too beautiful to leave behind. My husband asked, “What are you going to do with all of that?” I said, “I don’t know, I’ll go home and figure it out.” And that’s what I did.

TF: Could you tell us a bit more about the gems you choose and the sourcing of the materials behind your designs?

JL: Everything I do is difficult for the manufacturer because it’s always very intricate designs and little stones. I’m always drawn to the colored stones like tsavorite. I use sapphires, pink sapphires etc. Women, especially from my generation, are very boho-esques and they love the look and feel of nature elements likewood and lava. Lava really drives people wild because it has that cool, unique feeling. Moonstone and labradorite may be my favorite materials. You get that beam when held up to the light and that is just extraordinary.

With the new line, we are really trying to up the quality of the diamonds. In my metalsmithing class, I wanted to make a shield, which is a big part of my line coming up. I am very fascinated by amulets and shields; my very first ring was a sterling silver shield with three stones in it and it was my private protection. I have all these designs for shields that aren’t necessarily screaming out “shield,” but they have a center and the center is supposed to be like that eye that’s going to protect the wearer.

TF: Is that shield design your favorite design, or do you have another one?

JL: I do have a couple pieces that I love because I love the way they feel. I combine all the jewelry with either quartz or leather, so there’s always this combination of soft and hard. And that’s my niche.

TF: What would have as advice for someone coming into the jewelry world, a newbie?

JL: I would say, stay focused, think outside the ordinary, and always do something original. It’s going to come back to haunt you if it’s not really yours. At the end of the day, you put your own spin on it, but that moon is not yours, somebody else has it also…

Everything has to be started from a piece of paper. That’s what I would tell somebody…
You have to start from scratch. You have to have your own vision and focus. There’s so much out there to love and there are so many different styles to love but you have to hone in on one. You could have two different lines, or three different lines, but they have to, at the end of the day, connect.
