NIGHT PETALS HIGH-JEWELRY COLLECTION

At the heart of the night, we rely on heaven to read our future and invoke our dreams. The stars are our vows, starting with those of our childhood that we recite with this endearing nursery rhyme: « Star light, Star bright, First star I see tonight, I wish … » (Light Star, Star Shining, I see tonight, I wish …). No matter where you live, at nightfall the sky glows with stars and moonbeams. It was during these night hours that David Yurman, awakened by the song of the frogs of his pond in Putman Valley, New York, began sketching. These nocturnal sketches gave birth to the collection « Petals », whose organic form evokes the water lilies of the pond. For « Night Petals », the water lilies are made of blackened gold, studded with diamonds, like stars sparkling in the night.
