Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this David Yurman citrine necklace for a while now, and I finally decided to go for it. I mean, who can resist that pop of yellow, right?
First thing I did was try to make sure I could get an authentic piece. I went down this rabbit hole, trying to figure out all the little details that make a David Yurman piece legit. It’s kinda crazy how much effort goes into making sure these things are the real deal.
The first way I tried was checking for the stamp. Apparently, real David Yurman pieces should have “D. Yurman,” “D.Y.,” or “David Yurman” stamped somewhere on them. And usually, there’s a copyright symbol right next to it. It’s like their signature, you know? I found a bunch of sellers online, all claiming to have authentic pieces. I spent a good few hours squinting at photos, trying to spot those markings. It’s harder than it sounds, let me tell you.
- Found a seller with global shipping, which was cool.
- Saw one that was focused on pre-owned designer jewelry.
- They even had a 100% guarantee for authenticity, so that’s something.
Some sellers I found
Then, I started looking specifically for citrine necklaces. I figured that narrowing down my search would help me find what I was looking for faster. I found a few that caught my eye, but the prices were all over the place. Some were a steal, others were way out of my budget.
- Found one with a sterling silver chain, about 16-17 inches long.
- That seemed like a good length for everyday wear.
- But the price was a bit steep.
Narrow down my search
I read some stuff about David Yurman bracelets too. It’s made from all kinds of metals. They’re a classic piece from the brand, so I figured it’s a good point to consider.
I finally settled on one that seemed like a good balance of price and quality. I checked for this necklace, I did find the stamp and the copyright symbol, all aligned nicely. It’s a pre-owned piece, but the seller had great reviews, so I took the plunge. Now I’m just waiting for it to arrive. Fingers crossed it’s as beautiful in person as it was in the pictures!
I’ll definitely update you guys when it gets here. Wish me luck!
