Popular Collections & Styles to Know

• Link & Box/Wheat Chains: timeless silhouettes in slim to bold gauges
• Chokers & Y-Necks: modern proportions that frame the neckline
• Crossover & Sculpted Cable Accents: intertwined or carved cable motifs

Gemstone favorites: blue topaz, amethyst, citrine, peridot, prasiolite (green quartz), garnet, black onyx, turquoise, mother-of-pearl, pearl, hematite, and diamond pavé accents.

Lengths, Layering & Fit Tips

• Classic lengths: 16–18" for everyday; 20–24" mid-layer; 30"+ for drama
• Layering: vary lengths by 2–4", mix gauges (fine + medium), and use two-tone to bridge metals
• Collars vs. chains: collars sit structured at the collarbone; chains drape and move—choose by neckline and comfort

Pricing Factors (So You Win)

Pre-owned David Yurman necklace pricing reflects:

• Metal (sterling vs. two-tone vs. 18K gold) and gauge (fine to bold)
• Gemstones/diamonds (type, saturation, clarity, carat) and number of stations
• Engineering (collar vs. chain; specialty clasps)
• Condition (mint, excellent, very good) and polishability
• Rarity & demand (core icons vs. discontinued variants)

Our approach is data-driven, delivering luxury value without retail markups.

Authenticity Checklist (What We Verify)

• Hallmarks: “D.Y.” or “David Yurman,” plus 925 (sterling) and/or 750 (18K) where applicable
• Craftsmanship: crisp cable ridges, clean soldering, secure clasps, even stations
• Stones: correct cuts, secure settings, consistent color matching across stations

Care & Maintenance

• Clean gently with mild soap and a soft brush/cloth; rinse and dry thoroughly
• Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning on sensitive stones (pearls, turquoise, MOP)
• Store necklaces separately in soft pouches to prevent chain kinks and micro-scratches
• Fasten clasps before storing to reduce tangles; lay collars flat to maintain shape

FAQ

How do I choose the right necklace length?
16–18" sits at the collarbone for everyday; 20–24" layers over tops; 30"+ creates a long, elongating line.

Can I mix metals in one stack?
Yes—two-tone chains and stations bridge silver and gold so mixed stacks look intentional.

Collar or chain—what’s better for layering?
Collars anchor the stack with structure; chains add movement and texture. Many collectors wear one collar plus two chains.
