David who?
I went to my in-laws house the other day and my fiance's sister-in-law bought me a really nice gift.
She was so excited to give it to me. She said that she had one similar to it and if I liked it she would give me another one. Well I opened it up and it was a very nice silver bracelet. It wasn't necessarily my style, but my tastes are constantly changing and it looked very cool and different. It was a thick roped silver with black onyx on it.
She said "do you like it? do you like it? It's David Yurman, he makes really nice stuff and it's expensive and designer, and he's really cool."
Well I wore it to work on Monday and there's this woman at work who loves jewelry. She's constantly buying new jewelry (and wearing it!). She knows a lot about jewelry as well. She came over to my desk and complimented my bracelet.
I thanked her and said it was made by some designer guy who I've never heard of, I think his name was... and before I could finish my sentence she replied "David Yurman".
I said, "Yes that's it!" She told me that she had similar bracelets, much smaller than that and she asked if I knew how much it was. I, who know absolutely nothing about jewelry, said well the person who gave it to me said it was expensive. So in my head I was thinking maybe $100-$200. But this woman who I was talking to doesn't really wait for an answer and she told me it's probably about $700. I was shocked. WHAT? SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS?! She said it was probably $500-700 at least and told me that she has David's catalogs at home, etc etc.
Needless to say she showed me websites like Neiman Marcus who sell this guy's stuff and the bracelet that was similar to mine was $1100. She apologized for low-balling it, haha. Unbelievable how much designer jewelry, or designer anything, costs these days.
I really like the bracelet, but I'm deathly afraid of losing it now. I already have an engagement ring to worry about!
