David Yurman has been a mainstay as luxury jewelry and lifestyle brand for a while. And one of the most popular accessory ideas is David Yurman rings, just as a new collection is being introduced.
While the pandemic posed obstacles for jewelers around the world, one consequence was a spike in innovation.
Designers went back to the drawing board in terms of how to market products. But for David Yurman, that included creating a new collection to stun and wow consumers around the world.
David Yurman and his wife and fellow designer Sybil spent a year in lockdown not bemoaning the impact of the pandemic–but instead working on an exquisite, personal collection that was introduced in March 2021.
The new Elements Collection features statement pieces that are not only beautiful but also symbolic. Pendants and rings were designed with themes such as the circle of life, hope, and connection. Healing stones, like Jasper, made their way into rings and other pieces of jewelry.
But what’s the hype around David Yurman, and is this luxury designer right for you? Consider this your guide, the David Yurman rings. I’ll tell you what you need to know before you buy, how to care for your ring, and the best rings you can buy in 2022.

What’s so special about David Yurman?
David Yurman is a luxury brand that has made a name for itself with signature and timeless designs. But David Yurman and his wife and painter, Sybil have distinguished themselves from competitors by drawing inspiration from art, history, and design. You can see that many accessories, for instance, are influenced by paintings.
Where is David Yurman jewelry manufactured?
While David Yurman is based in New York City, like many luxury designers, most pieces are not actually made in New York. Yurman has claimed that pieces are made around the world, but a bulk of them are indeed produced in China.
Are David Yurman diamonds real?
With any diamond or gemstone ring, you want to make sure you’re either purchasing a lab-grown or natural gemstone or diamond. Simulants are not only less valuable but are typically not as durable.
The good news is that their diamonds are all-natural, and sourced in adherence to the Kimberley Process. The Kimberley Process ensures that diamonds with this distinction aren’t being used to finance civil wars. They’re also known as conflict-free diamonds.
The use of natural, conflict-free diamonds is another way in which David Yurman has distinguished itself from competitors in the luxury jewelry industry.
Do David Yurman rings tarnish?
One downside, however, is that some David Yurman rings can tarnish over time, and you’ll notice tarnishing sooner if your ring isn’t properly cared for. Some David Yurman rings are made from sterling silver. While a beautiful option, sterling silver, as opposed to solid gold or platinum, can tarnish.
To avoid or delay tarnish, keep your ring protected. If you’re not wearing your ring, one trick is to place it in its own ziplock with a piece of chalk or another drying agent. This protects it from moisture and scratches. This is important if you decide to buy sterling silver rings.
How do I select the best David Yurman ring?
What are David Yurman rings made out of?
Men’s and women’s rings are finished in titanium, sterling steel, and 18K solid gold. Sterling steel is the only metal of these three that’s prone to tarnishing.
Titanium Rings
Titanium may seem like a less conventional option for rings, but it has several advantages. Solid titanium, like David Yurman uses, tends to be quite durable. Titanium rings are resistant to rust and corrosion, common issues with sterling silver. They’re also resistant to heat and are not easily scratched or bent out of shape. Finally, they tend to be more affordable and more hypoallergenic friendly than solid gold rings.
The biggest cons to titanium rings are that they do not have the same shine and luster as solid gold rings. Titanium rings also cannot easily be shaped, or have a prong setting.
18K Gold Rings
18K gold is generally seen as a desirable metal for rings. It’s a metal with a gorgeous shine and is considered one of the purest forms of gold. Valuable and beautiful, however, it is easily scratched compared to other options and requires care. 18K gold rings also tend to be more expensive than titanium.
Regular cleanings and careful care will be more important to retain the beauty of 18K gold rings. On a positive note, 18K gold doesn’t rust and generally holds its shine.
How can you tell if David Yurman is real?
It is not uncommon to find an excellent deal– only to realize that you’ve been duped (or maybe not even realize until much later) with a fake ring.
To avoid this situation, the ideal would be to have access to close-up photos of the ring. If the seller refuses to provide clear, focused close-ups, then I recommend shopping elsewhere. With the close-ups, you should first look for one of the following stamped on the ring: D. Yurman, ‘D.Y. simply or David Yurman.
The next sign you need to look for is the purity of the metal. Sterling silver should be stamped with a sterling silver 925, and gold pieces should have the specific purity of gold imprinted as well.
