NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 1983, when David Yurman debuted its now-legendary Cable bracelet, the twisted helix has been the American jeweler's signature. As Yurman himself states, "Cable is the river that runs through all of our collections." Unifying his designs—from jeweled cuffs to modern pinky rings —the form nods to antiquity while highlighting Yurman's renowned creativity and contemporary craftsmanship. Rhythmic, strong, and flexible, it epitomizes sculptural simplicity, opening the doors to myriad possibilities. DAVID YURMAN CABLE explores cable as an archetypal form in both history and nature, and Yurman's artistic use of it as the brand's defining visual icon. With never-before-seen original sketches, stunning photography, and informative text, this exquisite volume will be sought after by design and jewelry lovers alike.
