How to Get the David Yurman Look for Less
I am a huge fan of David Yurman and own several of his pieces that you’ve probably seen me wear a lot. David Yurman is a designer jewelry brand known and loved for its high-quality, mixed metal jewelry. The Cable Collection is his signature design that is classic, timeless, and instantly recognizable. It can come with an expensive price tag so I thought it would be fun to show how to get the David Yurman look for less.
David Yurman Inspired Bracelets
David Yurman is known for their cable-inspired jewelry. Their large selection of bracelets from chains, cuffs, and stackable bangles can be recognized anywhere. Prices range from $295 all the way to $80,000! I picked six of my favorite bracelets and went on the hunt for the closest, most affordable designer-inspired looks I could find on the internet. With prices this low, you can have a new bracelet for almost every day of the week.
One of the most popular DY bracelets is the classic Cable Bracelet. This is the piece that kicked off the brand when he crafted it for his wife in 1982.
My husband bought me this amazing {“torch” cable bracelet} for our 15th anniversary. That was 33 years ago, and the exact bracelet is still popular, which makes it a classic in my book. He also gifted me the matching earrings that they don’t make anymore, so those have become collector’s items.
The huge torch feels rather large for daily wear, so I bought myself {this small Cable Bracelet} with pearl ends that I wear almost every day. Here’s an {affordable similar look}, and you’ll never believe that it’s under $10!

David Yurman’s ring selection is crafted of the mixed metals and the crossed cable material he is best known for. His rings start at around $200, but if you aren’t looking to invest in a designer piece just yet, here are a few beautiful and affordable options.
This stunning {Black Onyx Albion Ring} is a true statement piece. It’s the perfect accent ring if you find yourself wearing a lot of black.

These pieces are also great to travel with, so you never need to worry about losing them.
I have a Yurman addiction – I have 10 cable bracelets in addition to a few necklaces and I just bought #11 on Fashionphile. I wear them all the time – my husband bought me an extra large link bracelet on our honeymoon in Bermuda (the bracelet is the one with cable links alternating with gold links) and I’ve worn it just about every day, usually with another cable bracelet. I agree with the poster that said they go with everything – I wear mine with yoga pants/sweatshirt as well as with my office clothes, and everything in between. I may have to add the torch bracelet to my list, I just found one with the perfect combo of stones.
I adore my torch bracelet.
Just following up – I bought an amethyst torch bracelet just like yours, except my square stones are blue topaz and the oval cabochons are pinkish red stones. The amethyst is a pinkish purple and is so pretty, I have another amethyst Yurman where the stones are darker, but I like the torch bracelet color stones better. Got a great deal on eBay and it was authenticated before I got it, I love it and I have barely taken it off since it arrived!
Amazing Lisa!! It sounds stunning.
Love the ball and chain convertable necklace you are wearing with the lavender sweater. I think it might be at Nordstrom’s but I do not know the designer name. Can you help? Thank you!
I love that necklace! It appears sold out at Nordstrom but I found it here.
These are such great finds thank you Jennifer. I love the bracelets ! So love the prices !!
Well, that was fun!! Thanks for sharing and brightening up my day!! And your hair looks just so cute in the pic with the purple sweater!!
Thank you so much.
I see someone else mentioned Brighton which has many pieces similar to the ones that you show here today. I have a number of Brighton pieces that I wear all the time. My oldest Brighton pieces have ‘stood the test of time’ – still look good and current despite being 15 years old or more. But yes, there is something about putting on a piece of high-quality jewelry that makes you feel special.
While I agree the faux pieces of DY jewerly look nice in the pictures, there is something so special about the “real” DY. I have a DY cable bracelet given to me by a friend & every morning when I get dressed I put it on along with my diamond tennis bracelet. It doesn’t matter if I’m wearing jeans, dress clothes or sweats. It goes with everything & makes me feel good. My exception to faux is diamond earrings as earrings are too easy to loose.
I lost a diamond stud earring many years ago and never replaced them with real for the same reason! It’s so east for them to slip out.
I love your watch! Do you have information on it?
My husband bought it for me about 38 years ago at a jewelry store that was going out of business. It’s an old Cartier tank style.
Beautiful jewelry! You did a wonderful job finding similar less expensive finds. I’ve been thinking I need to wear my real jewelry more often and not just for good.
I try not to save mine. It won’t get worn enough if I do.
I love your posts! Yours is the first I begin each day with because you are so willing to share the aging process with us because it does happen! And you embrace it rather than ignore it as others do. Thank you for being so honest with us! I, too, love David Yurman and have several of his wonderful pieces.
Happy Tuesday, Susi!
Am not familiar with David Yurman, but your bangle reminds me of the Bulgari Serpenti range, which has a little snake head where the jewel is on yours. I did a double take with the silver earrings with the gold twist on them. My late mother had something very similar, from Tiffanys. Your jewellery looks very smart and modern on you. I quite fancy the Van Cleef and Arpels, Alhambra range of bracelets, but can’t justify the spend these days. Your baroque pearls have inspired me to dig mine out and wear them. They were a gift but was worried they might have been a bit ‘mumsy’. However, you certainly have changed my opinion on that.
I’m glad you’re wearing them! It’s all in how we style things.
Love lots of the jewelry, BUT I have two unrelated questions. Where did your daughter get that cute hat and where to get your beautiful lavender sweater??
She bought her hat on holiday in Hawaii but I’ve seen several like it on various sites. Look for a “raffia bucket” hat. My sweater is from Nordstrom last year and sadly sold out.
I still wear my Yurman look-alike bracelets that I ordered from Amazon in 2019. They were a set of three by UNY. Love them!
Love this post! I have several Brighton pieces that remind me of Yurman styling and very affordable. Thank you for finding pieces that are affordable – off to Amazon get one or two or more🤠.
They remind me of Brighton pieces too!
I own only three pieces, both bracelets and a necklace, but I cherish them as they were gifts from my husband.
These bracelet pieces look nearly like mine! Amazing!
It is amazing isn’t it? They look so close.
Thanks for sharing the look alikes for a reasonable price.
