Spring/ Summer 2016 Style Guide David Yurman defines jewelry for all lifestyles through unconventional artistry. This style guide presents innovative ways to wear the latest collections, from stacks of iconic Cable bracelets to layers of bold chains. Each unique look has been specially curated to inspire endless possibilities.
Space Jam Layering and stacking pieces from the Solari Collection will look spectacular with just about everything, especially with a vibrant, color-coordinated mix of stones in this case turquoise and lapis with 18k gold. For reaching the stars, though, a blank canvas shirt such as a simple noir button-down is your best backdrop, or you could even try a white tee.
Off-Duty Perfect for attending an event straight after the workday. Smarten up office attire with minimal accents, like a chain link necklace, pavé diamond studs, and an Albion watch. The trick to getting it right? Leave an element or two undone. It s been a long day let loose!
Walk of Fame All tiers, no fears. Necklaces of varying lengths add a chic insouciance to daytime flair. Stacks of bangles and cuffs bring the edge. Plus, the look works best when you mix it up sterling silver and 18k gold with elegant pearl and diamond accents complement each other with ease.
Plane & Simple Channel the jet set, but in a streamlined, succinct way. Go light and airy with a Crossover pendant, orbital hoop earrings, and a low-fuss wrist. Stick to the flight plan with a monochrome clothing base but it doesn t have to be just white. This style would look excellent with grays or dark blues.
Linked In Bold, buffed, burnished, big: polished and gleaming sterling silver with pavé diamonds, in coils, links, or preferably both, packs a graphic punch atop easy dressing. It s the chicest possible way to amplify a sweater; likewise an oxford and lean-cut trousers. For an added twist, wear with flats heels will be overkill.
The Collage Artist Another way to work with statement chains is by placing in unexpected elements, like pieces from the Albion Collection, which features a faceted gold dome surrounded by trims of pavé diamonds. The interplay between bold and delicate creates a dynamic impression and a memorable one, at that. This look works best with sleeves rolled up on a blazer, yes, but even a boyfriend shirt or a crew neck will do.
Group On Here s an on-trend, do-it-yourself idea: take a long sterling silver chain and add pendants it ll look like an entirely new necklace. Complement the arrangement by stacking two or three rings, and cap it off with a simple earring. It s an excellent combination for evening, even if just to a casual dinner out. Then, when ready, the minimal, bare chain is always waiting
Kaleidoscope Kid More is still (and pretty much always) more, but this time, it also comes with a youthful edge. Albion pendants hang from chains; multiple rings fling color through the room. The more you pile on, the stronger the rainbow grows. Stack stone-tipped Cable bracelets down the arm and keep the attire to the basics a sweater, a tee, even a hoodie why not? Don t hold back, go high and low.
Bohemian Spirit Gemstones. Turquoise. Gold. Crosses. Beads. Who s to say these can t go together? The blend just has to be done carefully. Keep each element to a relatively simple and demure scale, because together, their impact will be large. And, if brave enough, try a necklace as a belt on faded jeans. It ll show an of-the-moment penchant for a bit of quirk.
Never Enough You ve seen the prior examples of more is more. This idea blows those instances out of the water. Double-coat your arms in Cable bracelets. Load up your hands with Wheaton rings. Throw on a pair of hoop earrings, too. This is about as decadent, and as confident, a concept as they come perfect for an après ski splash or, simply, a drink on the town. It works because it s unexpected, and uncompromising.
Goddess of the Hunt Gold lots of it gives preppy, country-weekend outfits a much needed kick. Set your scope on elliptical shapes, layered chains, loose Tempo bracelets and an Albion watch. Ready, aim, fire.
Moto Rock The motorcycle look has been done a million times before, but never quite like this. Offset the hard edge of black and edgy with delicate pops of color and bright bands of gold. After all, the heftier the heap, the richer the reward. Also, a turtleneck behind it all gives it a cool spin high necklines are a major trend in the making.
Chalet Chic Shades of silver, undulating like ski trails after a snowstorm, are a must-try. Stack bracelets in varying thicknesses on both wrists for maximum effect; add a pearl necklace to offset the mercurial mega-wattage. Anchor the look with a belt, relax, and take in the pristine, perfect view of the slopes from the living room window.
French Kiss Here s another idea that suggests layering jewelry on top of clothes a double appearance of Belmont Titanium necklaces with cognac diamonds over a turtleneck. At the wrists, go for a motley assortment of metallic hues. The mixing of metals has never been more acceptable. Style it with a très chic driving coat and you ll have walked right out of a Gallic daydream.
Water Sign The beach needs bling, too, but nothing so heavy or flashy that it will attract unwanted attention. Try layering fine 18k gold necklaces with varying gemstone pendants (options from the Châtelaine Collection would be great). Ensure their removal, though, to avoid tan lines.
True Blue Many previous suggestions have proposed alternating gemstone colors. On the flip side, keeping things consistent works too, such as this look with turquoise and chrysoprase. Their shapes aren t huge, but they re varied and multifaceted enough to keep things interesting and engaging. And they look excellent with any kind of denim.
Everything s Bigger In Texas. Pile on pieces from the Starburst Collection in honor of big sky living. Leather elements, like corded bracelets and a men s belt add a sportive Western feel. And, even if opting for just a sole piece, this assortment is surprisingly versatile from complementing denim on the ranch grounds to satin at the royal gala.
