STAX OF DESIGNS

For fall, David Yurman evolves his silver Stax designs and introduces new pieces in the signature Thoroughbred collection.

Stacking and layering — the mixing and matching of multiple rings, bracelets, or necklaces — is a great way to experiment with different designs and change your look from day to day. What you create captures your personal style in that moment, ranging from classic to dazzling, casual to red-carpet glam. David Yurman, one of the most prominent and talented designers in America, uniquely interprets the stacking phenomenon in his Stax collection, which offers the appearance of several pieces of jewelry in singular creations. This year, he adds a dash of color and new sterling silver pieces to the line, giving you more options for distinct combinations.

Many of the designs feature colored gemstones selected for their clarity, exceptional quality, and uniqueness. These unusual gems, which include Hampton blue topaz and prasiolite in a variety of cuts, put an additional twist on the collection’s motifs and help you create looks that are beautifully one-of-a-kind. Some of the new designs adopt David’s classic cable and link motifs in bangles that can be layered with cuffs and bracelets from other collections to build your own stack. Many of the new styles offer the look and movement of multiple strands in a single piece. In addition, there are matching gemstone drop earrings, beautifully accented with pavé diamonds, and a stunning drop pendant in the form of a classic Y-necklace — one of the hottest revival styles for 2019.

The 18k gold Stax collection also continues to expand this year, with new silhouettes that unite David’s most enduring motifs. The mobile and drop earrings play with scale while remaining lightweight. Multi-row rings have the look and movement of multiple bands in a single expression, presented as a mix of cabled, smooth, and faceted metal with gemstones including diamonds, citrine, and tanzanite. The look is new and bold, but unmistakably David Yurman. “There is a beauty in forming a design language,” says David. “Stax is a collage of those elements — a kind of artistic signature written over time.”

The Thoroughbred collection, a cornerstone of David Yurman design, has also been refreshed this year. The collection unites two of David’s lifelong passions: sculpture and all things equestrian. The sleek new pieces merge rows of pure metal with iconic shapes, including cable’s textured helix and bridle-inspired forms. Quintessential David Yurman, these styles are also great for stacking, mixing, and matching with others in your collection. The bracelets are made of 18k gold, sterling silver, or mixed metals and reflect Yurman’s design signatures by highlighting high-polish finishes with brilliant, pavé-set white diamonds.

David Yurman’s new pieces for fall are elegant expressions of his work as a sculptor and his love of shape. The jewelry is conceived from an artist’s imagination, resulting in designs that are dramatic, yet simple and organic. They make a statement about the way jewelry can reflect the beautiful forms that surround us in everyday life.
