raymond c. yard

Founded in 1922 in New York City by Raymond C. Yard, a former doorboy who rose through the ranks of Marcus & Co., the eponymous jewelry house became a favorite among America’s wealthiest industrial families, including the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts. Encouraged by John D. Rockefeller Jr. to open his own firm, Yard built a legacy on technical mastery and an uncompromising commitment to the highest quality gemstones. The house is celebrated for its Art Deco platinum masterpieces, which feature extensive use of mixed-cut and single-cut diamonds to achieve a luminous, understated elegance rather than sharp brilliance.
