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.

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.

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:

tunatartare · #12 01-11-2007, 05:34 PM

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.

The last one looks like it belongs on a Russian mobster talking on his Nokia in Brighton Beach. I personally can't stand jewelry on men. If you ask me, the only jewelry a man should be allowed to wear is watch, wedding ring, cufflinks, fraternity pin. The ex boyfriend had this tacky gold chain that his mom got him one year (that should have been the first sign that the relationship wasn't going to work out) that try as hard as I could, I couldn't persuade him to take it off.
