Exalting the Stone

The stones in Gems tend to astonish for their rarity, size and cut. To highlight their exquisite beauty,
Evan Yurman chose to showcase them simply. Sculptural chains, recalling David’s earliest jewelry
designs, allow unconventional stones like spinel, tanzanite and kunzite to take center stage.
Diamonds perform as supporting actors, expertly hand set in a glamorous full pavé to provide
brilliance from every angle. Select pieces also include fancy colored diamonds to enhance the
natural hues of the center stones.

The Gems Collection frames
the one-of-a-kind beauty of
magnificent stones.

Gemstones were once classified as precious—diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds—and
semiprecious—all other stones. This High Jewelry Collection celebrates the Yurman family’s
unconventional approach to jewelry by setting stones of exceptional quality and color in designs
that would be traditionally reserved for precious stones. Each creation is a bold artistic statement
of American ease and luxury.
