Jewelry designer Yurman sculpts luxe business
Boston Herald, United States

The only thing David Yurman wonders about opening a flagship store in Boston this summer is why it took so long.

“It’s one of the greatest cities in the United States,” said the jewelry designer. “Contrary to popular belief, Boston does have a sense of style and one of the most educated consumers in the world. So far, we’ve been very well accepted there.”

Yurman, whose eponymous jewelry line is synonymous with luxury, will be in Boston Wednesday night for a private cocktail reception to celebrate his new Copley Place store. And while the former sculptor is enjoying about $700 million in sales per year, he’s still an artist at heart. Read more about Jewelry designer Yurman sculpts luxe business …

The number markings on precious gold jewelry are a bit of confusion to lots of people. We are generally used to seeing a karat or silver mark like this: 10K, 14K, 18K, Sterling, etc. The numbers mean the same thing.

For 14k the number is technically 583 but most manufacturers adopted the European way and make 14k gold a tiny bit over 14k, so the mark is 585 in most 14k jewelry. 18K is marked 750. If the mark is valid and there is a makers mark also in the jewelry, the number means these items are 18k gold. Read more about How To Read Jewelry Marks …

We love our jewelry, and want it to last as long as possible. At Gonna Luv It, we get questions all the time from people who want to know how to care for sterling silver jewelry. Use these tips to keep your jewelry beautiful.

Keep your sterling silver away from toiletries. Lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and more can coat your silver with a sticky residue that is very difficult to remove. We suggest that you think of your jewelry as a crowning touch. Don’t put it on until you have finished putting on your other beauty products. At the end of the day, take it off before you bathe. This will protect your fine jewelry from becoming dull and unattractive. Read more about Sterling Silver Jewelry – Keep The Gleam! …
