With this week's frigid temperatures comes hot David Yurman news. Here's a rundown of developments:

Like to buy DY online, but don't like shopping at DavidYurman.com, NeimanMarcus.com, or Saks.com? If so, first, dang, you're picky, and second, hey, you're in luck as you may now click your way to Nordstrom.com for a considerable range of David Yurman product. With DY counters having already come to so many Nordstrom locations, it's not altogether surprising the retailer has moved--with DY's blessing, no doubt--to sell Yurman over the Internet. At the time of writing, Nordstrom.com offers 315 distinct women's pieces and 129 men's, which is a considerably robust inventory, I suppose, when compared to offerings available on NeimanMarcus.com and Saks.com. That being said (and as one might expect), the widest selection of DY available anywhere online is at DavidYurman.com. Still, it's refreshing to see an authorized retailer stocking David Yurman men's rings in sizes other than the default 10 and 11. (I'm looking at you, NeimanMarcus.com and Saks.com. Get with it!)

Moving right along, Allison Kaplan of Ali Shops reported this morning that DY will soon open its first boutique in the Twin Cities area (i.e., Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota) at the shopping center Galleria in Edina. While this planned opening has been announced, the official date of said has not.

Finally, I simply have to share with you my new objects of craving--men's pieces at which I cannot stop staring, which debuted on DavidYurman.com only last week and which are, dear reader, the pavé ruby black titanium additions to the Streamline Collection. Man, I thought the sapphire-on-Ti pieces eye catching, but I'll tell you what, these ruby-lined designs are the stuff of dreams. There are three items featuring this look presently showcased online--the tag (pictured, $5915) and two rings, one with three rows of stones ($3500) and one with two ($2650). 

To the DY designer who envisioned such beauts, I say hats off!
