David Yurman launches in Dubai
The US jewellery brand opens today in the UAE with two pop-up stores — at Bloomingdale’s in The Dubai Mall and at Harvey Nichols – Dubai in the Mall of the Emirates. The brand has a uniquely artistic background, the 1980 brainchild of sculptor David Yurman and his wife Sybil, a painter. The launch will see a curated selection of the brand’s collections — including some exclusives. The Renaissance Cable Bracelet, a signature piece (the piece pictured is Dh48,600), is present in a range of designs. Also launching are the new Pure Form, Stax and Supernova collections, and the brand’s iconic Albion Gold, Solari, Pinky Rings, and Chatelaine Pave.
