Raymond C. Yard is considered one of the great Art Deco jewellers, counting among his customers many of the families that defined American enterprise in the early 20th century, including the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Woolworths and Du Ponts. Using only the highest quality gemstones and the most exquisite platinum mountings, the company designed jewelry that not only took on an identifiable style of his own, but elevated the Art Deco aesthetic to a new level. Raymond Yard’s original designs continue to be made today and sold exclusively at fine retailers.

The story of Raymond C. Yard and the firm that bears his name is a classic example of the American Dream. Though of the humblest origins, Raymond Yard had within him the greatness to rise to the top of an industry which catered to high society.
