An Artist’s Signature

David Yurman
The first David Yurman Renaissance bracelet was crafted from fifty feet of gold wire that was torqued, twisted and capped with gemstone finials in brilliant blues, greens and reds. Since then, there have been several incarnations of his iconic piece, but each version retains elements of the original. “The melody changes but the bass line continues,” says the designer. And jewelry lovers are delighted to dance to the beat.

As with anything that has withstood the whims of fashion, the Renaissance bracelet has continued to evolve since its debut more than 30 years ago. While the Cable motif has remained constant, the current version is narrower to reflect changing styles and the gemstone finials are available in a range of new colors and cuts.
