Pre-Owned David Yurman Albion Rings at AYW Luxury: The Complete Buying Guide

At AYW Luxury, we specialize in certified pre-owned David Yurman Albion rings so you can collect the styles you love with complete confidence and exceptional value.


Why the Albion Is a Must-Own Classic

The Albion collection balances bold geometry with timeless elegance. Expect:

  • A cushion-cut center stone (popular gemstones include blue topaz, amethyst, citrine, prasiolite/green quartz, black onyx, garnet, and diamond pavé).
  • Sterling silver or two-tone designs with 18K yellow gold accents.
  • Yurman’s Sculpted Cable or classic cable shank for texture and grip.
  • Variations like petite Albion rings, cocktail-size Albion rings, and double-shank silhouettes.

Popular Gemstones & Style Notes

Metal & Size Options (Petite to Statement)

  • Sterling silver (classic Yurman choice)
  • Two-tone (silver with 18K gold accents)
  • Occasional full 18K gold designs in limited styles

Fit notes: Petite Albion rings wear comfortably for daily use; cocktail sizes deliver maximum presence for events.


How We Price Pre-Owned Albion Rings (So You Win)

Pre-owned David Yurman Albion ring prices depend on:

  • Gemstone (rarity, color saturation, clarity, cut)
  • Metal (silver vs. two-tone vs. gold)
  • Condition (mint, excellent, very good)
  • Size & style (petite vs. cocktail, single vs. double shank)
  • Production era and current collector demand

Our goal: fair, data-driven pricing so you get authentic designer value without the retail markup.


Authenticity Tips (What We Check Before You Ever See It)

  • Hallmarks: “D.Y.” or “David Yurman,” and metal marks like 925 (sterling) or 750 (18K).
  • Craftsmanship: Clean prong work, balanced shank, crisp cable pattern, and even stone placement.
  • Stone quality: Consistent color and secure setting appropriate to the Albion silhouette.


Caring for Your Albion Ring

  • Clean gently with mild soap and a soft brush/cloth; rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning for sensitive stones.
  • Store separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches and contact wear.
