As I write this, I’m in the middle of prepping for a lunch meeting with David Yurman, the man behind the eponymous luxe jewelry brand, that signature cable detailing, and those sultry ads that beg the question, “Would that necklace look as good on me as it does on a writhing, pouty Kate Moss?” (The answer: Yes. That necklace couldn’t look less than astounding on anyone.)

The famed jewelry designer is in Philly for a brunch at Drexel University (more on that next week), and then he’s off to King of Prussia for an event benefiting breastcancer.org, a nonprofit organization that offers the most up-to-date, comprehensive medical information about the disease, so that those affected by it can make informed decisions about treatment.

I’ll be asking David Yurman about his involvement with the cause (he also designed a limited-edition diamond-and-pink-alligator watch for breast cancer awareness), his art background (did you know that he started out as a sculptor?), his inspiration for the jaw-dropping jewelry he creates … and maybe I’ll even wrangle some marriage advice from him (after all, it was his wife who urged him to start creating jewelry!). Check in next Thursday for the full interview.
