The Iconic Yurman Cable: How to Score It for Less

Pre-Owned David Yurman Cable Collection at AYW Luxury: The Complete Buying Guide

The David Yurman Cable Collection—often called Cable Classics—is the brand’s signature: twisted helix metal, sculptural silhouettes, and refined end caps that showcase gemstones or polished metal. At AYW Luxury, we curate certified pre-owned David Yurman Cable bracelets, rings, necklaces, and earrings—authenticated and accompanied by our Authenticity & Valuation Report so you can buy with confidence.


What Defines the Cable Collection

Expect the house codes that made Yurman iconic:

  • Twisted cable helix in a range of gauges (thin, medium, bold)
  • End caps in polished metal, cabochon gemstones, or diamond pavé
  • Metals in sterling silver, two-tone (18K yellow gold + silver), and select 18K gold styles
  • Sleek open cuffs, hinged bangles, station necklaces, stackable rings, and hoops/drops


Why Buy Certified Pre-Owned from AYW Luxury

Every pre-owned Cable piece we offer is:

  • Fully authenticated (hallmarks, metal purity, construction, stone quality)
  • Professionally photographed for true color and condition
  • Fairly priced using current market comps and condition grading
  • Delivered with our Authenticity & Valuation Report for peace of mind


Most-Loved Styles & How to Wear Them

  • Cable Cuff Bracelets: the stack starter—wear one bold cuff or mix multiple thin gauges.
  • Hinged Bangles: easy on/off with the same Cable presence.
  • Cable Rings: slim stacks or dome silhouettes with gemstone centers.
  • Necklaces & Pendants: cable chains, station necklaces, and enhancer pendants.
  • Earrings: hoops, huggies, and drops that echo the cable twist.

Gemstone favorites: blue topaz, amethyst, citrine, peridot, prasiolite (green quartz), black onyx, pearl, and diamond pavé.


Gauges, Metals & Fit Tips

  • Gauges: thin for everyday stacking; medium for presence; bold for a statement.
  • Metals: choose sterling for cool shine; two-tone for warm contrast; consider 18K accents for dressier looks.
  • Fit: open cuffs should hug—not pinch—the wrist; hinged bangles fit true to size; rings should slide over the knuckle without twisting.


Pricing Factors (So You Win)

Pre-owned David Yurman Cable pricing considers:

  • Gauge/scale (thin vs. bold)
  • Metal mix (silver vs. two-tone vs. gold)
  • Gemstones/diamonds (type, saturation, clarity, carat)
  • Condition (mint, excellent, very good) and polishability
  • Demand & release era (classic staples vs. rarer variants)

Our approach is data-driven, so you get luxury value without retail markups.


Authenticity Checklist (What We Verify)

  • Hallmarks: “D.Y.” or “David Yurman,” plus 925 (sterling) and/or 750 (18K) as appropriate
  • Craftsmanship: crisp cable twist, secure end caps/hinges, even prongs/bezels
  • Stones: correct cuts, secure settings, matched pairs for earrings, clean cabochons


Care & Maintenance

  • Clean gently with mild soap and a soft brush/cloth; rinse and dry completely
  • Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning for sensitive stones (e.g., pearls)
  • Store in a soft pouch to prevent cable-to-gemstone friction and micro-scratches


FAQ

Cable vs. Sculpted Cable—what’s the difference?
Cable highlights the twisted helix profile; Sculpted Cable features smoothed, carved cable ridges and a more contoured feel.

How many Cable bracelets should I stack?
Three is a classic stack: thin + medium + gemstone-capped. Add a bold cuff for evening impact.

Do two-tone pieces mix with silver?
Yes—two-tone bridges metals, so you can wear silver, yellow gold, and even diamond pavé in one cohesive stack.
