The Cable Collection at David Yurman

The story

In 1982 David Yurman, trained as a direct-welding sculptor, gave a twist to the parallel wires of his Starlight bracelet and shaped some fifty feet of gold wire into the first Cable piece, with pink tourmaline and emerald end caps. He has cited the ancient torques at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a reference. The helix moved into sterling silver with gold and became the house's constant motif.
