Cable Wrap Earrings Appraisal

David Yurman Prasiolite Sterling Silver and 14k Gold Cable Wrap Earrings

This is a pair of designer earrings, specifically identified as part of the Signature Cable collection by David Yurman. Each earring features a large, oval-cut prasiolite (green amethyst) gemstone, characterized by its pale, translucent mint-green hue. The stones are expertly faceted to reflect light and are held in place by a sophisticated setting composed of sterling silver and 14k yellow gold accents. A notable design element is the twisted cable or rope-style wire in a gold tone that wraps across the top of the gemstone setting, which is a hallmark of the Yurman brand. The earrings utilize a huggie-style or lever-back closure mechanism for security. The sterling silver components exhibit a natural dark patina, particularly in the recessed areas of the metalwork, suggesting they are vintage or have been worn over time. While maker's marks are not clearly visible in the photo, the craftsmanship, distinctive cable motif, and material combination strongly indicate an authentic designer piece from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears sound, with no visible chips to the prasiolite stones, though the silver would benefit from professional cleaning to restore its original luster.
