The Legacy of Raymond Yard
Raymond C. Yard (1885–1964) began his career in the jewellery industry at the age of thirteen with Marcus & Co. in New York, eventually rising to prominence through deep expertise in gemstones, design and craftsmanship. Encouraged by John D. Rockefeller Jr., Yard opened his own firm on Fifth Avenue, New York, in 1922, quickly becoming a favourite among America’s wealthiest families — including the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, DuPonts and Woolworths.
Known for his use of the finest gemstones and exquisite platinum mountings, Yard helped elevate Art Deco jewellery to new heights, blending timeless refinement with quiet luxury. His designs range from elegant platinum and diamond work to imaginative figurative motifs and richly coloured gemstone compositions. The firm remained influential after Yard’s retirement and continues today under the stewardship of successors who honour his tradition of craftsmanship and design excellence.
Raymond Yard: A Tradition of Discreet Luxury
Operating from New York’s diamond district, Yard became known for his platinum and diamond masterpieces, coloured gemstone rings, and whimsical brooches depicting children, animals, and playful scenes. His client-first ethos and technical mastery set him apart in American jewellery history.
Each Raymond Yard piece is a timeless symbol of refinement, beloved by collectors for its grace and rarity.
