## About David Yurman

David Yurman is identified in the collected sources as a co-founder, with Sybil Kleinrock Yurman, of the privately held American jewelry company that bears his name. The available evidence is primarily about the company and its auction-market footprint rather than a fully documented biography of Yurman as an individual artist. It does not establish his birth date, nationality, formal occupation, training, artistic movement, or a reliably defined body of personally authored work. Collectors encounter the David Yurman name in public auction records, but those records should be understood in the context of an eponymous jewelry brand. A strong entity page therefore needs to distinguish the person from the company and avoid treating every branded object as an individually authored artwork. Additional museum, authority-file, or official biographical sources are needed before expanding the personal profile.

## Common works and media

The source pack establishes an association with jewelry but does not reliably identify common object types, materials, collections, periods, editions, or personally authored works. Rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, sculptures, or other categories should not be assigned from this evidence alone. Each auction object should instead be classified from its own catalog description, marks, materials, measurements, photographs, and documented attribution.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily has matched public auction records to the David Yurman name across sales dated from 2008 through 2026, but the collected page reports inconsistent totals and does not provide a dependable jewelry-category breakdown. Appraisal research should therefore begin with the exact object and compare material, dimensions, date, condition, inscriptions, edition information, provenance, and attribution with closely related lots. Realized prices may be reported with different fee conventions, while private sales and incomplete feeds may be absent. Because the name can identify both a person and a company, brand attribution and individual authorship should not be treated as interchangeable without object-specific evidence.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine identity research with available auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Here, the limited source pack and unresolved person-versus-brand distinction require cautious interpretation.
