Service history in David Yurman Renaissance jewelry is one of the most misunderstood contributors to authenticity risk, originality status, and disclosure exposure. Many owners assume factory service automatically preserves value, while others believe any repair compromises legitimacy, creating confusion that often leads to misrepresentation at resale or during authentication review. Understanding how professionals interpret service activity matters because service alters physical evidence, and incorrect assumptions about what service means can quietly undermine credibility, pricing stability, and dispute outcomes.
DJR Expert Guide Series, Vol. 1978 gives you a complete, beginner-friendly, appraisal-forward, authentication-first workflow for understanding how service history, repairs, and factory replacements affect David Yurman Renaissance pieces. Using structured, non-destructive professional analysis—no tools, no disassembly, and no risky handling—you’ll learn the same evidence-based framework professionals rely on to separate acceptable service from authenticity-compromising intervention.
Inside this guide, you’ll learn how to:
Understand what service history means in professional terms
Distinguish factory service from aftermarket repair
Identify which repairs preserve authenticity versus those that introduce risk
Recognize how service alters physical evidence without negating attribution
Evaluate factory replacements versus non-original components

Avoid common misrepresentations that trigger buyer conflict
