Greetings to all Orchidians,
Does anyone on the list carry the genuine David Yurman line, and
are familiar with his trademark and quality details? I have four
pieces, one markedc DY, one marked c YURMAN, and two marked c D
YURMAN. In addition, two have small stars, while one has a #
symbol. I am suspicious of two of the pieces, because the quality
is not what I would have expected–particularly a cable necklace
and a pair of earrings. On items like earrings and rings, where
you would have a hollowed out back–just how nicely does Yurman
finish out his jewelry? Would you expect to see lots of nodules
and surface imperfections from the casting on the underside? On
the pair of earrings that have a yellow gold cross-over design,
the rivets that hold them in place are in different locations on
each earring, there looks to be a lot of unexplained molten
metal underneath, pitting, nodules, etc. and very heavily
oxidyzed. It looks rather amateurish to me, not what I would
expect from a high end manufacturer. The customer is trying to
trade them in to us, hasstatements of replacement as genuine
from an authorized dealer of Yurman that sold them. Customer
said they were represented as Yurman, but that she also got “a
great deal on sale” Hmmmm. Any thoughts? Thanks in
advance, Cindy B.
