What We Buy
Cable, Albion, Men's and Gold
Most David Yurman is sterling silver with gold accents. The silver in a bracelet is worth little next to its retail price, so resale on silver pieces is a fraction of what they cost new. Gold and diamond pieces hold more, because the metal and stones are worth real money on their own.
Cable Classics
The twisted cable bracelet, introduced in 1983, with gold end caps that are often set with a stone or pearl. Most are sterling silver with 14k or 18k gold accents; all-gold versions exist too and are worth much more.
Albion
A cushion-shaped color stone in a cable frame: blue topaz, amethyst, citrine and others, in rings, earrings and pendants, some with a pavé diamond border. Color stones like these add less than people expect; diamonds add more.
Men's Chains, Rings & Bracelets
Curb and box chains, signet rings, Streamline, Chevron, Armory and the Spiritual Beads bracelets. Mostly sterling silver; the heavy chains carry more silver than most David Yurman pieces.
Gold & Diamond Pieces
All-gold cable bracelets, pavé diamond pieces and gold bands. Their gold and diamonds put a floor under the offer, so they keep much more of their value than silver.
Pricing
What Moves a David Yurman Offer
We'd rather you hear this at home than at the counter. Here is what decides the number.
- Silver or gold
- The stamp tells most of the story: 925 is sterling silver, 585 is 14k gold, 750 is 18k. A silver cable bracelet with gold end caps is mostly silver by weight.
- Retail vs. resale
- Most of a silver piece's retail price is design and brand, not metal. Used pieces sell for well below retail, and our offer follows the resale market, not the price tag.
- Collection
- Cable bracelets and men's chains have the steadiest demand. Older fashion pieces and lines that are no longer made bring less.
- Stones
- Blue topaz, amethyst and other color stones add little on resale. Diamonds add more, and pavé pieces are checked stone by stone.
- Condition
- A stretched or loose cable, a dented end cap or a weak clasp lowers the offer. Tarnish isn't a problem.
- Box and pouch
- The box, pouch and care card help a little. None of it is required, and a genuine piece without them sells.
Not sure what you have? The stamps are usually near the clasp, on an end cap or inside a ring. Text photos of them to 917-608-8939.

How We Check David Yurman
Fake cable bracelets are common. We check the piece in front of you and tell you what we see.
- The maker's mark: D.Y., DY or D. Yurman, usually with a © and the metal marks 925, 585 or 750
- The cable: an even, tight twist from end to end with no gaps
- A metal test on the end caps and accents, so plated gold doesn't pass as 14k or 18k
- How stones are set, and the pavé on diamond pieces
- Weight, and how the clasp opens and closes
