Greek Goddess Amulets and DY Mercer® Color: David Yurman’s Newest Fine Jewellery

The Defining Elements

• Four hand-engraved medallions at 28.3mm in 18K yellow gold with diamonds, each priced at $8,800, depict Athena, Aphrodite, Hera, and Artemis drawn from the iconography of ancient Greek myth.
• A sterling silver and 14K yellow gold Hera medallion at 29.5mm offers the same sculptural language at $2,450, broadening access to the goddess series within the Amulets layering system.
• DY Mercer® Color brings bezel-set coloured gemstones to the Mercer collection for the first time, with stones including iolite, morganite, sky blue topaz, champagne citrine, and tourmaline set in cushion and oval cuts.
• DY Mercer® Color pricing runs from $795 for a sterling silver and sky blue topaz ring to $2,950 for the multi-row diamond and coloured-stone version, with pieces available now at DavidYurman.com and in boutiques.

Two Collections, Two Distinct Intentions

David Yurman’s autumn additions address two separate collector instincts at once: one reaching toward symbol and myth, the other toward colour and sculptural boldness. Neither arrives as a seasonal novelty. Both extend long-established frameworks within the brand’s jewellery vocabulary, adding new depth rather than new direction. For GCC collectors who build considered wardrobes of fine jewellery across houses such as BULGARI and PIAGET, these additions present a distinctly American counter-point: tactile, layerable, and grounded in a studio-art sensibility rather than a purely palatial one.

David and Sybil Yurman began as artists before jewellery became their medium. He worked as a sculptor; she as a painter and ceramicist. That origin is not decorative lore; it is the technical and aesthetic foundation from which both new collections draw their formal logic.

The Story Behind the Goddess Amulets

The Amulets category at David Yurman has always operated as a personal archive. Each medallion attaches to chain links, inviting the wearer to accumulate symbols over time rather than wear a single fixed piece. The broader universe already spans evil-eye motifs, zodiac references, the minimalist Streamline® line, and the ancient-carving-inspired Petrvs® pieces. The Greek Goddess additions now bring four figures from classical mythology into that constellation: Athena (wisdom), Aphrodite (love and harmony), Hera, and Artemis.

Every medallion is brought to life through hand-engraving, rendering each goddess as a miniature sculptural relief in precious metal. The 18K yellow gold versions, set with diamonds and measuring 28.3mm, are priced at $8,800 each. A sterling silver and 14K yellow gold Hera medallion at 29.5mm, set with diamonds, enters at $2,450 for collectors who prefer to begin the layering practice at a more considered price point.

What distinguishes this category from conventional pendant jewellery is its intentional openness. No single amulet is meant to be the final statement. Each piece is designed to coexist, inviting the wearer to build a composition that reflects personal beliefs, milestones, or affiliations over years rather than seasons.

Craft and Colour: The DY Mercer® Color Chapter

DY Mercer® takes its name from Mercer Street in SoHo, the downtown Manhattan neighbourhood where David Yurman kept his first sculpture studio. The collection’s hand-forged-style oval links, alternating in scale, texture, and finish, translate that studio energy directly into wearable form. Until now, the collection worked primarily in metal. DY Mercer® Color changes that premise entirely.

Cushion- and oval-cut stones, custom-faceted to draw out interior depth and light, are set within clean bezels and combined in unexpected pairings: iolite alongside citrine, morganite paired with sky blue topaz, tourmaline contrasting against champagne citrine. The approach is less about matching and more about composition, reflecting Sybil Yurman’s painterly background as much as any gemological convention.

Pieces are produced in combinations of 18K gold, sterling silver, and pavé-set diamonds. The entry point is the Mercer Color Stone Ring in sterling silver with 18K yellow gold and sky blue topaz at 10mm, priced at $795. The DY Mercer® Color Stone Multi Row Ring, also at 10mm in sterling silver with 18K yellow gold, champagne citrine, morganite, and diamonds, is priced at $2,950. The DY Mercer® Color Amulet, a 13mm piece in sterling silver with 18K yellow gold and diamonds, is priced between $1,850 and $1,950.

Placement Within the Brand’s Jewellery Architecture

Both additions occupy distinct positions within David Yurman’s wider catalogue. The goddess amulets reinforce the symbolic and narrative strand of the house: collectible, personally meaningful, and designed for accumulation across time. The Mercer Color pieces address a different appetite, one oriented toward visual impact and chromatic variety within a silhouette that the brand has developed over years.

For GCC collectors, the layering logic of the Amulets range aligns well with a regional jewellery culture that has historically embraced stacking, mixing metals, and wearing multiple meaningful pieces simultaneously. The DY Mercer® Color range, with its bold oval-link architecture and vivid stone palette, offers a wearable alternative to the more restrained tonal approaches common in European fine jewellery.

Both the Greek Goddess Amulets and DY Mercer® Color are available now through DavidYurman.com and at David Yurman boutiques. Eligible items may be reserved online and collected in store. Each design ships in the brand’s signature presentation packaging, and complimentary professional cleaning is available at any boutique.
