It was back in 1979 that David Yurman demonstrated to the world the fantastic look of the cable when it is incorporated into the design of high end jewelry. Up until that particular time the best use that anyone had found for the cable was lifting heavy loads with cranes and since then the cable has made David Yurman millions of dollars by selling it in the form of designer jewelry.

Of course since then, clever jewelry designers everywhere have been giving the cable a close look as well and while their exquisite work my closely resemble Yurman pieces they couldn't be more dissimilar with regards to pricing. This is because, while a David Yurman piece will require hundreds and even thousands of dollars to procure, others work is no where near that pricey.

As it turns out the cable look in jewelry looks great on men because while it is delicate in its basic form it also looks masculine as well. When it comes to buying jewelry, men everywhere have always had to walk a fine line between delicate craftsmanship and femininity, while women can simply pick and choose from a jewelry case.

While a woman can easily find a thin gold necklace or bracelet for a hundred bucks or so, men have to wear thicker jewelry which meant that they have to shell out several hundred and even thousands of dollars for their heavier pieces. You would think that being a man himself, David Yurman would sympathize with this plight of his brethren and introduce something for his fellow man that he could afford for a change but he hasn't as of yet.

In fact, his mens pieces are some of the most expensive that he has to offer. Fortunately there is an affordable option for men who are in the market for the “cable look”and that option is to do without the David Yurman stamp on their piece and get it from one of the many jewelry designers that sell their work online.

Why I Love David Yurman Inspired Jewelry for Men

There is one problem with “cable” mens jewelry that you buy form these other sources though and that is that people are going to assume it is an authentic Yurman when it is worn. If you are willing to put up with that then there are big savings to be had on a veritable cornucopia of designs and styles of rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings that any discriminating fashion conscious man can easily afford.
