I really wouldn't want an 18K ring anyway... way too soft. Rings take a lot of abuse. Most of their "gemstones" are of the cheap variety. Totally overpriced and I think most of the stuff is tacky looking. I liked one necklace, but I wouldn't pay $700 for sterling silver with blue topaz. Or $500 for the matching earrings.
Looking at the Yurman website... seems like the bigger the better for them. Rather ostentatious. Lots of mixed color jewels (personally not a fan of, IMO a lot of it is rather tacky), a lot of mixed metal (which I hate! I hate gold and silver colors together on a piece of jewelry).
I'm not THAT picky about jewelry, but there's not much on that site that I'd wear
