Does anyone know how I might be able to try to track down a pair of older David Yurman earrings? I believe these were from the "Mosaic" collection (not sure what year) and are 18k gold with pink tourmaline, garnet and diamonds.

A google search only turned up 2 pairs - one from Gray & Sons in Miami - I am waiting to hear back from them regarding availability. And one from Ripley Auction which looks like they sold for a fraction of the other price a couple of years ago.

ETA: I am open to similar earrings - does not have to be this specific style (or even DY for that matter), so long as similar gold, stones, and overall vibe. Any style earring ok too - dangling or even studs. Does not have to be this elaborate - can be but simple ok too. If it's helpful, these are 18k gold with pink tourmaline (aka rubellite), garnet and diamonds. TIA!

All the resale and auction sites are about it, right?
Not sure, I simply googled a few things like "David Yurman Mosaic earrings" or "cabochon pink tourmaline earrings" and came across only 2 photos of these specific earrings. I am not a jewelry expert by any stretch of the imagination so I was hoping someone might have advice on how to track down - more specific places to search or contact. Not sure if jewelers are able to seek out or track down older pieces upon request. I will be attending the jewelry and antique show in West Palm Beach next month and can inquire but figured there were better resources on this forum!

Vestiaire has these, not the same colorway tho:

Then you so much! Those are definitely the same style but I am specifically interested in the pink colourway (just added a post of the necklace I'm looking to coordinate with).

Also, for context, I am trying to coordinate with this necklace and ring. Obviously both statement pieces so I think earrings should be small or more simple. The ones I posted are smaller than they appear in photo (only about 1 inch long, 1/2 inch wide):

Both are absolute stunning.

I think you're right though, I'd prefer to see large oval single pink tourmaline cabochons, either studs or drops. Nothing to take away from that necklace.

These Theo Fennells are gorgeous if you can't find your DY https://www.theofennell.com/product/rubelite-hoop-ripple-earrings/

You could also ask for studs like these https://www.theofennell.com/product/ripple-stud-earrings/ and ask them to make a special order/bespoke cabochon Rubelite centre stone https://www.theofennell.com/bespoke-jewellery/

Thank you so much! I could have never imagined this but literally less than an hour after I posted this yesrerday, my daughter came home with these earrings for me - having no idea that I was posting this or even in the market for "matching" earrings! They are nearly a perfect match with the ring and very small but slightly bigger than regular studs would be and more oval shape. I think I would still like something larger and more interesting at some point but these are a good placeholder and the price was definitely right!

ETA: realize that's a terrible photo and the necklace looks darker/more dull in photo than it really is. Adding a photo of me wearing it last night with new earrings. Earrings definitely more vibrant but I think a close enough match for now. Still on the hunt for these DY ones or something a bit larger/more dangly. If a stud, I would like more similar in size to the tourmaline in necklace. Thanks for your recommendations!

How lucky are you! The thing with colour is it wears bigger. They've got great impact and complement well. Enjoy...

Thanks, she is super sweet and breaks all stereotypes of teenage girls. I'll let you in on a little secret - she picked them up at a local farmer's market for only $1.50! Guaranteed she spent 5x more than that on a lemonade or iced coffee LOL It was definitely serendipity at its finest! The necklace was a small fortune so in my mind it averages out. :lol:
