David Yurman is the man when it comes to colored gemstones. Thanks to Yurman’s designs with semi-precious stones in contemporary settings, colored stones are in demand as the must-have accessory.
The ancient Egyptians and later the Romans recognized the power of gemstones. Cleopatra was known for her love of emeralds, which she believed gave one the power of clairvoyance and made it possible to control spells and enchantments. Egyptians were among the first to discover and use citrine, a light yellow gem that Romans later associated with the sun god, Apollo.
As diamonds grew in popularity, colored gemstones were no longer considered fashionable. Today, however, there is a resurgent demand for these beautiful stones thanks in part to Yurman whose use of aquamarine, amethyst, topaz and citrine make them the perfect compliment to vintage and contemporary fashions:
