Coming Soon: The David Yurman Miniature Pinky Ring for Women
Seeing is believing. @islandfeversisters gave Instagram users yesterday this preview of what is to come from David Yurman. It appears that Waverly rings with colored gems and miniature pinky rings will soon be available. Get your pocketbooks ready, ladies. While price points have yet to be determined, these pretty creations will likely cost an equally pretty penny. I'll update this posting with additional details as they emerge.

Call for Stories, Information for Feature Pieces
Being only one individual and a layperson at that (I have no direct ties to David Yurman, the company and brand), I sometimes struggle in locating the information needed to write features for you, dear reader. Insert here my petition, my plea for support from fans and insiders alike. Help me help David Yurman by contributing tips, tidbits, and media to the blog.
How does one do this--reach out--you ask? Well, do you have Twitter? If so, tweet me at @DavidYurmania. If not, go (new) old school and E-mail me. My address is DavidYurmania@gmail.com.
Believe me when I say that there is no such thing as a "bad" contribution. Nothing is too small or too trivial. All offerings matter and are important. Heck, I've been working for three months now only on that which exists in the public domain. To get something, anything would be an improvement. So what are you waiting for? Get writing. Get sharing. What's new at David Yurman? What's next? What's caught your eye at the Townhouse or a boutique?
I'm waiting to hear from you.

David Yurman Targets New Market Segment with Griffin Collection
Pictured are designs from Yurman's new Griffin Collection for men. Pieces range from $350 to $2600. |
I wish Yurman provided a second, alternate product image for this three-sided ring. I'm interested to know what's out of view on the left there. |
fingers working (and rocking) Griffin. I see the collection on gents who fancy the mythical (and mystical, for that matter). I see it on those whose chest hair is ample, those who wear only jackets of leather, those whose musk is heavy and whose beards are dense. Will these men pay for Yurman? Will Yurman actively target them in advertising? Only time will tell, I suppose. I will say this, though: It is going to be an interesting fall/winter for the DY Men's Collection. At this point, what comes next is likely anybody's guess.

Brit in a Bit of David Yurman

I don't know how I feel about this B Spears look. Excepting the DY wristwear, I have to say I find it, well, a bit unremarkable. What's your take? Sound off; post a comment or write me an E-mail.

Exclusive: The Three Distinct Looks of David Yurman Color-Change Garnet
Pictured are the three looks one can expect from DY color-change garnet. |
The first look is the one shown in the left-most image above, the color profile being that of a Caribbean blue-green. This hue is achieved when the mineral is exposed to indirect natural light (or the direct artificial light produced by bulbs bearing descriptors of "natural," "reveal," or "sunshine"). The second look, which is shown in the middle image, is achieved via bright, midday sunlight. There is no color profile, really, about which to speak, as, under this light, the stone takes on the appearance of a translucent, especially-brilliant black diamond. Color-change garnet's third look, then, is the one shown in the right-most image. (By the way, none of the component images in this triad has been digitally altered.) This warm violet color of look three is achieved in incandescent, household light.
While I can (and do) appreciate all three looks of color-change garnet, I must say my own personal preferred states are the first two. What about you? Tell me: which look do you like best? Sound off; get your comment posting or E-mail writing on!

What's Next for David Yurman Men: the Mythical
I am not sure how I feel about the direction in which Yurman seems to be going here. DY designs tend to exhibit a timelessness, which these pieces do not, I feel, possess. What is more, there seems a shift in target market. I do not see the typical sophisticated urbanite--to whom I feel the brand regularly caters--being drawn to these enhancers. They exude a certain roughness, a coarseness that is not characteristic of David Yurman pieces.
But tell me: What are your thoughts on these offerings? Is there one you especially like or do not like? Sound off; post a comment or shoot me an E-mail.
UPDATE: Many of these enhancers went live on DavidYurman.com today. It appears all are authentic DY designs.
