Sister Wives: Kody's David Yurman Jewelry Could Symbolize His Feelings About Robyn & The Exes (What The Designs Might Say About His Past & Future)

Sister Wives star Kody Brown is known for flaunting ritzy David Yurman jewelry, and the designs he's chosen could tell a story about his dynamics with his current wife, Robyn Brown, and his exes, Meri, Janelle and Christine Brown. For years, Kody's shown his style onscreen, wearing some signature pieces, including a brown leather bomber jacket and pastel dress shirts. However, he adds stylish finishing touches by donning rugged and pricey David Yurman jewelry, including a bold pinky ring and shield pendant.

Kody's designs could have deeper meanings, based on what certain sources have written about the style of jewelry he has chosen, and the symbols on those pieces. As Sister Wives season 19 unfolds, there have been so many high-drama moments. Right now, Kody isn't quite sure what to do with his Coyote Pass land. The exes who still have stakes in the land, Meri and Janelle, have lost faith in him. He owns 97 percent of Coyote Pass, and feels that the decision-making is in his hands. This bothers them.

Kody's Shield Pendant Is An Interesting Choice

Shields Are Symbols Of Strength

Kody's David Yurman necklace is a piece of fine jewelry that he has worn onscreen, and it's shown above in a Reddit post by GIRgirl. The gleaming lapis lazuli design with a silver border is bold and striking. It's a standout piece with a rugged sterling silver chain. Kody may have chosen the design without knowing what shields typically symbolize. However, it's always possible that he does perceive the shield as a symbol of strength. As per Marketing Partners, shields mean:

no retreat, no surrender.

That's interesting as Kody has really had to dig deep while navigating life as a former polygamist. Plural marriage can work for some families, but balancing the needs of so many people can be difficult. He has been open about the pitfalls. Three of his wives left him as he preferred his wife, Robyn. It's best that Kody's in a traditional marriage now, as it's more honest, but his bonds with his former partners, while frayed, still exist.

He has talked about his issues with these women. In the past, Kody said that he felt he had to hide his "romantic tension" with Robyn because it might make Meri feel bad. However, his feelings for Robyn were never a secret. Hiding them may have been counterproductive, as it could have given those women false hope, even though they knew that Robyn was his favorite.

However, Kody has been involved in feuds, even with the children that he shares with other exes, and when it comes to protecting Robyn, he does embody the spirit of "no retreat, no surrender." Kody flatly stated that he would never "cut off" Robyn in order to improve his relationships with his kids. He's drawn a line in the sand, and while he could have changed his mind, his remarks were very strong.

Kody's Ring May Show His Deep Love For Robyn

Kody & Robyn Once Melted Down Meri's Wedding Ring

Kody's got a new ring, and it's a bold David Yurman design that is hard to miss. Before he switched his traditional Claddagh ring (all the wives had rings like that), Christine reveals something shocking. As per the TLC at Facebook clip shown above, Christine claimed that Kody and Robyn melted down her wedding rings after removing the diamonds. Meri had to divorce Kody, upon his request, so Robyn could be his legal wife. There's quite a bit of drama here, and when Kody changed his ring, it may have meant something.

The wide band isn't the type of ring that gets lost on a hand. It's very distinctive, and it's possible that Kody wanted to make a statement with it. Perhaps it signaled a change in his outlook - a commitment to Robyn alone that was more overt. The couple were destined to enter into a monogamous relationship after decades of plural marriage. They are both heavily invested in their marriage.

While no one but Kody himself can say for sure what his new ring means, and he wouldn't tell Meri if it had special significance onscreen, he is a romantic. With Robyn, Kody's more of a dreamer. He has rhapsodized about his fourth wife, who is now his only bride. That's why he might have changed rings to really emphasize the fact that his life was changing, with Robyn becoming his main focus.

Robyn's Matching Ring Shows Their Closeness

They're A United Front

After Meri questioned Kody about the ring, it was revealed that Robyn has a matching design. However, she didn't show her ring off online. She kept it private while Meri and Kody had their guessing game. Perhaps the two had some romantic words while they tried on their rings and then purchased them. Maybe Kody gave Robyn her ring, or vice versa.

Sister Wives' star Kody does love Robyn a lot, and he's done many things to keep her in his good graces. For example, as mentioned, he will never dishonor her, even for his kids. They need to accept his relationship as it is, and the fact that Robyn's his queen. As well, he's gushed about her onscreen, talking about their love life, the romance...the list goes on.

For Kody, the shield may give him strength to fight - the rings may warm his heart. Sister Wives is often a battleground, it's true, and Kody has had to soldier on. Although their marriage isn't perfect, Sister Wives' Robyn Brown is the one he will fight for, and that kind of love is precious.
