All jewelry – whether a glimmering rose gold bracelet or a radiant diamond necklace – embody beauty, elegance, timelessness, strength, vitality, effervescence, and even comfort. When I think of my mom, Haleh Gabbay, the same unique qualities come to mind. The only difference between my mom and a sparkling piece of jewelry, is that Haleh is truly priceless – as I know is the case with all of the mothers in our lives.
Therefore, I found it so appropriate to celebrate Mother’s Day with the very thing that symbolizes our mothers so perfectly: jewelry. Last week on Friday May 6th, I had the privilege to host an early celebration in honor of this occasion – an event in collaboration between American jeweler, David Yurman, and my lifestyle blog, The Daily By Daniel.
David Yurman was founded by David and Sybil Yurman in New York City in 1942. Not only is the brand still family owned to this day, but members of the Yurman family also design the striking pieces seen in boutiques. In this regard, the brand is not only representative of stunning jewelry, but it embodies the true essence of family legacy and collaboration. Therefore, what better venue than the David Yurman boutique on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills to celebrate Mother’s Day – an occasion all about family and unity…and jewelry, if we’re being honest.
At the luncheon, guests had the opportunity to shop, explore the store, and try on all of the brand’s extraordinary pieces. Even more significantly, 10% of the proceeds raised last week benefited the Farhang Foundation – a truly exceptional organization dedicated to celebrating and shedding light upon Iranian art, culture, and history for the benefit of the community at large.
Thus, diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but it seems that jewelry represents much more than just friendship. At David Yurman, the stunning diamonds, silvers, emeralds and beyond symbolized family, legacy, unity, and most of all, celebration.
Thank you David Yurman for making such a beautiful day possible, thank you to all of the wonderful guests who attended our event, and to all the moms in the world who give us so many reasons to be grateful – and a special thank you to my exceptional mother; you truly are a gem.
