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.

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.

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

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 thought the same thing.  I bearly buy Jewelery anyway... I'd rather have designer purses and shoes. I lose jewelry all the time, and I get more use out of purses and shoes.
Although I do own Tiffany's silver AND I still wear it, just not the bracelet and necklace together.

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 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.
