David Yurman is more than a name in luxury jewelry—it is a story of family, artistry, and timeless design. Founded by sculptor David Yurman and his wife, painter Sybil Yurman, the brand emerged from their shared passion for art and creativity. What began as a collaboration between two artists has grown into one of the most recognizable American luxury jewelry and timepiece houses in the world.
From the very beginning, the Yurmans infused their work with a sculptural sensibility. David’s training as a sculptor and Sybil’s eye for painting and design gave their creations a distinctive blend of form and function. The result was jewelry that felt both wearable and artful, with the iconic Cable motif becoming a signature of the brand and a symbol of innovation.
Today, their son Evan Yurman continues the family tradition as Chief Creative Officer. Having grown up immersed in the world of art and design, Evan brings a modern sensibility to the collections while staying true to the brand’s DNA. Under his leadership, David Yurman has expanded into new categories and collaborations, ensuring that the brand resonates with both loyal collectors and a new generation of jewelry enthusiasts.
What makes David Yurman unique is that it remains family-owned and operated, with David, Sybil, and Evan all actively engaged in shaping the company’s direction. Their shared vision has created a brand that stands at the intersection of craftsmanship, artistry, and luxury, while always honoring its roots as a family endeavor.
For the Yurmans, jewelry is more than adornment—it is a medium for storytelling, self-expression, and artistry. With each new creation, they continue to craft not only beautiful objects, but also a legacy of creativity and family values that defines the essence of David Yurman.
