Dazzling and celebrity-filled, this anecdote-packed account of
Raymond C. Yard and his remarkable jewelry is a classic
rags-to-riches tale. In 1898, Raymond C. Yard began his career in
the jewelry business as a door boy at Marcus and Co. It was during
this period that the newly affluent American industrial families
began to patronize American jewelers like Tiffany and Co. Yard was
encouraged by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to open his own company;
Rockefeller recommended the Yard firm to his family and
connections, and shortly Yard was creating jewels for the
Woolworth, Flagler, DuPont, Harriman, and Vanderbilt families. The
creations of the Yard company were always characterized by the
highest-quality gems, intricate settings, timeless style, and a sly
sense of whimsy.
