David Yurman Cable Classics Bracelets

This set features two David Yurman Cable Classics bracelets presented in an original designer presentation box. Both pieces are iconic examples of contemporary American jewelry design, characterized by the signature twisted helix cable pattern. The larger piece appears to be a medium-gauge sterling silver cable necklace or large wrap bracelet, while the smaller interior piece is a standard cable cuff bracelet. The cuff is crafted from 925 sterling silver with 14k or 18k yellow gold accents at the terminals. Each end of the cuff is finished with a domed gemstone, likely white mother-of-pearl or moonstone, surrounded by a gold polished bezel. The craftsmanship displays high-quality attention to detail, with deep oxidation in the cable grooves to provide contrast and dimension. The items appear to be in good pre-owned condition with a light surface patina consistent with moderate use. There are no obvious signs of structural damage, deep gouges, or missing stones. The presence of the original brown textured presentation box with its plush lining adds significantly to the provenance and overall value of the set.

I have conducted a remote visual analysis of this David Yurman set, comprising a Cable Classics cuff and a secondary cable piece, likely a medium-gauge necklace or wrap bracelet. The cuff exhibits the hallmark 925 sterling silver twisted helix with 14k/18k gold accents and cabochon terminals (likely mother-of-pearl). The condition appears to be 'Good' to 'Very Good' for pre-owned jewelry, showing typical micro-scratching on the gold bezels and healthy oxidation in the cable recesses that enhances the design's depth. Market demand for David Yurman remains consistently high in the secondary luxury market, as these pieces function as staples of contemporary American design. Specifically, the inclusion of the original presentation box increases the liquid value by providing better provenance than a 'loose' piece. Comparables for standard 5mm-7mm mixed-metal cable cuffs typically fetch $300-$450, while the accompanying necklace/wrap adds approximately $350-$500 to the set's valuation. Several limitations exist with this digital appraisal. While the cable winding and terminal finishing align with authentic Yurman manufacturing, I cannot verify the inner-shank hallmarks or 'D.Y.' stamps. Verification of metal fineness and stone authenticity cannot be performed via photo. To finalize this appraisal, an in-person inspection is required to check for proper tension in the cuff, verify the weight against manufacturer standards, and utilize a gemstone tester to confirm the terminal materials. Scientific testing (X-ray fluorescence or acid testing) would be necessary to confirm the specific gold karatage of the accents.
