These are classy - if you are 80 and having your portrait painted for the family estate...


Y-necklaces? The cast from the third season of friends would approve!


Looks like a gaudy piece of cocktail jewelry to me...


Look honey, my bracelet matches the travertine counters!


And another cocktail ring, just for good measure!

And since you edited, things I think are standard classy old-money jewelry - pearl studs. Simple diamond studs. Small, tasteful hoops. I've never liked the big gaudy crap that rappers wear because the jewelry overshadows them - people should wear jewelry, jewelry shouldn't wear people. I have no problem with expensive jewelry if it's worth the price, but I think Yurman is paying for a name and nothing else.

I like these earrings in the silver and gold.

Those are not my style but they are pretty cute and a lot more "everyday" than most Yurman stuff.

You are an idiot. Just because you can pick out 6 pieces of jewerly from an entire designers collection that are not attractive doesn't mean the stuff is trashy or reserved for "cocktail parties" I happen to think the stuff you posted is rather tasteless.......I also know that if you had any kind of sense of style or what is classy, you would opt for other things that Yurman has to offer.

Brooks Brothers makes things that are hideous, same with any other designer that you would expect a classy gentleman to wear......doesn't mean that, overall, the line is trashy and should be reserved for people with zero-taste that like to look tacky.

I actually love those last couple cocktail rings. There's nothing wrong with cocktail jewelry...it's meant to be fabulously dramatic. But there's a difference, of course, in cocktail jewelry and COSTUME jewelry.

It's pretty amusing to see a guy get worked up over jewelry brands.

I really don't know much other than the stuff I see girls wearing and what women in the family wear....so my knowledge is limited.

I guess I was surprised to see the old money/new money thing get thrown out. Thought it was rather humorous.

As a lover of the Tahitian Black Pearl, I find the following atrocious and Mr. Yurman should be shot:

I kinda like the first one. Might be nice if the setting was a bit smaller though.

I don't understand some guys obsession with classy women. They don't seem like good sex partners. If you're too classy smoke, cuss, fight, and wear cheap jewelry brands...you're too classy to be a freak in the bed.

See over here, the bigger the Tahitian pearl, the better.

If anyone got caught wearing that crap here, they'd get taunted for sure.

I also couldn't help but shake my head at his prices. He's robbing the customers blind for what he charges.

Good thing I get mine straight from my friend's family's pearl farm!

I got a gorgeous black pearl and diamond ring for my HS graduation. The band is tiny, which makes the pearl look even bigger.

Right - but you wouldn't wear it every day...
