An Entrepreneur’s Masterpiece

The David Yurman Company is built on passion, collaboration and curiosity. Founded in 1980 by David and Sybil Yurman, the company is, in their own words, “one long art project.” Their ability to fuse fashion, art and jewelry into signature design concepts revolutionized an industry, creating an entirely new category— American Designer Jewelry.

Born two months and a few miles apart, David and Sybil Yurman led parallel lives, coming to art separately in their youth. David first developed his artistic eye from viewing pictures of the Lascaux cave paintings, and Sybil explored the colors used by French Impressionist painters. Dissatisfied with a rote school curriculum, they both discovered making art was their true calling.
