David Yurman Sunflower Pendant Necklace

This piece is a David Yurman Sunflower pendant necklace, crafted from signature sterling silver. The focal point is a medium-sized sunflower pendant featuring two distinct rows of detailed, radiating petals. Each petal is sculpted with high-relief texture and deep oxidation in the recessed areas to create a sense of depth and realism. The central disc of the flower features a granulated, textured finish that mimics the appearance of a sunflower's seed head. The pendant is suspended on a delicate 1.5mm wheat-style or 'spiga' chain, which enters the pendant through a hidden bail at the back to maintain a seamless aesthetic. The silver displays a warm, aged patina characteristic of authentic David Yurman pieces, though some surface grime and minor tarnish are visible in the crevices of the petals, suggesting the need for a professional cleaning. The overall construction highlights high-quality lost-wax casting and hand-finishing. While specific hallmark photos aren't provided, typical examples of this design feature the '(C) D.Y.' and '925' stamps on the reverse of the flower or the lobster clasp. The style represents a classic botanical motif from the designer's earlier nature-inspired collections, likely dating from the 2000s or 2010s.
