A David Yurman bracelet marked
"1/4 750" (often accompanied by "925" or "D.Y.")
signifies a
two-tone design featuring 18-karat gold accents on a sterling silver base. "750" indicates 75% pure gold (18K),
and "1/4" indicates that 1/4 of the piece's structure—typically the
cable tips, stations, or bonded links—is made of this 18K gold.
David Yurman's cable design
is a signature twisted helix pattern, inspired by
architectural cables, ancient jewelry, and nature.
The design originated from the first bracelet Yurman hand-twisted from 50 feet
of wire, and it has since become the brand's most recognizable element,
appearing in countless collections and used in innovative ways, from the
classic bracelet to sculpted forms
