I thought being frat was all about quality - like it makes sense to wear LaCoste or Brooks Brothers instead of Chaps or Old Navy. David Yurman is like the jewelry they sell at Sears, but marked up in hopes that people pay for it.

Those twisted silver David Yurman bracelets remind me of those silver bracelets that my grandma used to use to help ease her arthritis.

I agree. That's what I thought they were when I first saw them.

For those of you talking about registries, check out www.myregistry.com. You download a tool onto your browser with just one click and you can add anything from any internet store (Walmart, Best Buy, The Limited) onto your registry -- it is genius, really. I've been saying for years that instead of having 4 different registries at Pottery Barn, Macy's, Target and Crate and Barrel, you should be able to merge them into one. Oh and Tiffany and Co, too, I guess! Anyway, I'm kicking myself someone else got to it first, but it is a pretty cool idea!

I think that's what we're getting at, Tom...Tiffany is supposed to be expensive.

Obviously you have an extremely limited knowledge of what they carry if you think it is all "twisted silver jewelry."

I think it is extremely classy.

Dude, you're starting to scare me now. Talk about your truck or fishing or something.

Ha, I know, just have had some experience buying it quite a few times.

You obviously don't have a clue.

Ok, I've been to the Yurman store and a lady in my office wears it quite a bit so I've seen a lot of pieces. Some of the stuff is tacky, but generally, I like Yurman.

That shit that thugged out rappers and ghetto fab women wear in their teeth and around their neck is "tacky new money" jewelry. But i'm sure you love it.
Here is some allegedly "classy" Yurman jewelry:


$5,100...for, um, what? Something you can buy at Wal-Mart?


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.
