If there is one item of jewelry that the name Designer is synonymous for it is the bracelet. This is because it was his signature cable bracelet that won him worldwide acclaim back in the late seventies when Designer made his original debut. Since that time over two decades ago however; Designer has been busy creating new designs and styles in a wide variety of other types of jewelry.

At the same time Designer has been constantly introducing the jewelry wearing public to newer and ever more beautiful and inspirational designs in his ever growing line of bracelets for both men and women. It seems that the creative mind of Designer knows no bounds when it comes to discovering and implementing new ways to blend precious metals and rare jewels in collaborations that so often have the flowing features of the cable.

For men no where else can one find so many choices of such delicately crafted bracelets that truly look masculine. In the past men have had to so often choose a heavy or bulky bracelet lest they run the risk of having the piece that they selected come across as less than masculine. For some magical reason even a thin and intricately crafted Designer cable bracelet it seems can be worn by any man with no problem at all.

This fact alone has led Designer to design and create a broad range of mens bracelets that now allow men to have far more range and flexibility with regards to how they decorate their wrists with a finely crafted mens bracelet. So now men everywhere are experimenting with stones and design styles that previously were unavailable to them.

More great news regarding Designer bracelets is that his son Evan Yurman is now giving indications that the unique talent for jewelry design that Designer has shown the world for the past two and a half decades may in fact be in his genes. This is because Evan Yurman has been for some time now been bringing some great work out of his design studio that is turning heads in just the same way that the work of his father always has.

Evan Yurman bracelets show an inherited knack for bending long established unwritten rules in the way that he blends precious metals into unique and one of a kind forms. For instance his sterling silver enameled logo bracelet contrasts the white of the silver against the stark black of enamel in a simple and smooth flowing form that is simply stunning.

Designers work in titanium has also produced tremendous results and he has a wide range of bracelets that showcase the raw beauty of grey titanium against yellow gold and white sterling silver. It seems that Designer was one of the first jewelry designers to truly grasp hold of the reality that various precious metals have colors and characters that when contrasted against one another seem to compliment one another in unique metallic harmony
