The Albion Ring - Signature of the David Yurman Brand
David Yurman 18K Gold Albion Ring with Citrine
If you adore beautiful jewelry, discover the brilliant collection of David Yurman Albion Rings. David Yurman, a wildly popular and successful American jewelry designer, made a name for himself in the mid-1980’s with his signature cable design style, which can be described as twisting materials together to form a “cable” look on the band of his rings and other designer pieces. Out of the many Yurman designs, one of his most popular collections is the Albion Ring series.
The Albion Ring collection features precious and semi-precious stones (such as Amethyst, Blue Topaz or Garnet) surrounded by a ring of pave diamonds (tiny, round diamonds). The pave diamonds are mounted on the bevel, which surrounds the main stone of the Albion Ring. Although each of the pave diamonds is separated by a very small piece of metal, undetected by the human eye, the tiny pave diamonds fit snugly together so as to create a perfect frame for the main stone in the ring. This clever design allows not only the center stone to pop, but the diamonds can then be seen from any and every angle of the ring. Pave diamonds are specifically used to enhance the stone, giving the entire ring an unbelievable sparkle and brilliance.
Square Cut Gemstones of the Albion Ring Collection
Yurman has masterfully taken precious and semi-precious stones, including birthstones, to a level all his own. The brilliance of the square cut of the main stone gives even a semi-precious stone a rare quality of elegance and grandeur. There are many different stones and colors of gems to choose from, another reason why this designer is so popular. Yurman prides himself on the perfection and beauty of all the rings in his collections.
In the regular Albion Ring collection by David Yurman Designer Jewelry, the stones are a bit larger than those in the Petite collection. The typical size of regular Albion gem is approximately 20 mm. The band, made of the purest and highest quality of materials, is flawless and polished to perfection. The band in the regular Albion Ring collection tends to be a little wider, to make a perfect setting for the larger stone. Choose from a smooth to the now classic cable band design.
