“As a brand founded by artists with a longstanding devotion to the arts, the new campaign captures the essence of David Yurman,” said President and Chief Creative Officer Evan Yurman, acknowledging his parents David, a sculptor, and Sybil, a painter and ceramicist. 
 
“When concepting ‘Nature’s Artistry,’ we knew it would be essential to bring in talent who are inspired by the world around us, and let their creative instincts guide them in everything they do. Both Scarlett and Shawn are consummate artists with an effortless and welcoming presence; qualities that shine through in the campaign and are enhanced by the natural and peaceful environments they are seen in.”
