David Yurman
Perhaps the ultimate artistic couple, sculptor David Yurman (b. 1942) and his wife, painter Sybil Kleinrock (b. 1942), couldn’t have imagined they’d build an internationally renowned fine jewelry empire when they met in 1969 at a sculpture studio in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village.
Eleven years later, in 1980, the duo established the David Yurman brand and it boomed almost instantly, a by-product of the pair’s love for and commitment to making art. (They’ve been known to call their business as well as their relationship “one big art project.”) In fact, Yurman’s most recognizable piece, the Cable bracelet, was inspired by his background in metalworking and direct welding, skills he learned when he was just a teenager. It is a marvelously modern accessory rooted in everything from jewelry motifs of ancient Syria to the natural formations of tree branches that would yield the Cable ring, earrings and other items.
When Long Island, New York–born Yurman was in high school, he spent a summer visiting his sister in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where he met Cuban sculptor Ernesto González, who taught him how to heat and fuse metals. After that fateful summer, Yurman experimented feverishly with bronze sculpture and, eventually, minimalist jewelry design.
Yurman studied briefly at New York University, opting to drop out after a year to hitchhike across the United States, ending up in an artist colony on California’s Big Sur coastline. The bustling artists’ scene in New York during the 1960s eventually drew him back to the East Coast. There, he trained under Cubist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz, and, by 1969, he was a foreman in sculptor Hans Van de Bovenkamp’s Greenwich Village studio. It was in the studio that he met Kleinrock.
Kleinrock and Yurman began a romantic relationship, and he designed her a sculptural welded bronze necklace to wear to an art gallery opening. The gallery owner was so enchanted by the design — Yurman called it the Dante — that she wanted to buy it on the spot. Yurman refused because he considered the gift too personal, but his partner left it with the dealer. Within hours, four necklaces were sold and a brand was born.
A year after the two married in 1979 — the ceremony included simple gold rings Yurman had soldered from gold in his workshop — they officially launched David Yurman. Three years later, one of his most popular designs, the Cable bracelet, hit the market.
Today, David Yurman engagement rings, bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings are widely treasured, distinctive works of American jewelry design.

$1,996 Sale Price20% OffFree Shipping - Modernist Brutalist Amethyst, Diamond and 18k Yellow Gold Ring, circa 1960Located in Aspen, COBrutalist 18K ring with amethyst and diamonds probably by Arthur King an American designer in the 1960's and 1970's. His jewelry can be seen in major museums such as MOMA and the V & A in London. He was also collected by many of the major movie stars and celebrities of the time such as Elizabeth Taylor, Lena Horne and Barbara Hutton. The ring, though not signed, has many of King's inimitable stylist nuances. Such as the powerful and organic prongs, the decidedly nugget like patina coupled with the obvious cie perdue or lost wax creation of the setting and the unusual design that was not mass produced. This ring is well made, the 6 diamonds, estimated to weigh .46 cts., are all H, near colorless, and very slightly included (VS1), they are set in 18K white gold, the rest of the ring is 18K yellow gold. The center pear cut natural amethyst is a pure vivid purple color with slight red undertones. This stone is estimated to weigh 12 cts. This ring is a fine example of "Brutalist Jewelry", with its very obvious "natural approach" to setting the stones, the texture of the gold which has the nugget...Category
