The brand was founded in 1980 by David Yurman, a sculptor, and his wife, Sybil Yurman, a painter. They combined their artistic backgrounds to create distinctive jewellery designs. They were born two months and a few miles apart. Their coincidental encounter in New York in 1969 marked the beginning of a long-lasting collaboration in both business and art. The business that David and Sybil have established is based on their ongoing conversation about their mutual creative vision and desire to create exquisite clothing. A more than half-century career has been molded by their deep partnership with each other, their son Evan, their business associates. They both had a hand in the underground art scenes in California and New York in the 1960s, traveling back and forth between Big Sur, Venice Beach, Haight-Ashbury, and Greenwich Village. Their individual artistic languages were formed throughout their respective apprenticeships under various masters, which finally resulted in the combined masterwork that we are all familiar with today. The David Yurman signature cable motif, inspired by the twisted helix of a ship's rope, became iconic and is a hallmark of their jewellery brand gained recognition in the 1980s with the introduction of the Cable bracelet, which quickly became a symbol of luxury and elegance. The brand is known for its craftsmanship, using high-quality materials such as precious metals and gemstones to create exquisite pieces. The Yurman family remains deeply involved in the brand's creative and business aspects, ensuring a personal touch in every piece. The brand continues to innovate, incorporating new materials and design elements while staying true to its core cable motif.
