Sybil and David Yurman: Artists and jewelers

After meeting in 1969, Sybil and David Yurman, painter and sculptor respectively, collaborated for over fifty years. Merging their creative talents, they revolutionised the American jewellery industry and established a lifelong partnership in art, innovation and business. Today, with their son Evan, they continue to drive the business forward with a shared vision.

This monograph traces the rise of the first American fine jewellery brand of the twentieth century, from the underground art worlds of New York and California to the global stage. It analyses how the Yurmans' artistic practices are inextricably linked to their jewellery-making process, and tells the story of the house through artworks, family photographs, original sketches, jewellery, behind-the-scenes images from the brand's famous advertising campaigns, personal anecdotes and never-before-seen images.
