About the Item

Pair of clips-on earrings designed by Henry Dunay. This is a beautiful and rare pair of clips-on earrings created in New York City at the jewelry atelier of Henry Dunay, back in the 1990. These massive earrings were masterfully crafted as left and right in the shape of three-dimensionals bypasses in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with the iconic Dunay’s faceted patterns. They are fitted at the reverse with comfortable French omega backs for fastening clips and the addition of gold posts for pierced ears can be easily done. They are an exceptional pair with impressive craftsmanship and fabulous eye appeal. Dunay's Faceted Gold Technique Henry Dunay calls this surface finish technique as "faceted". He developed the technique in which he cut each facet of the gold, just as you would cut facets in a gemstone. This technique hardens the gold and makes his pieces much more durable. Dunay's faceted pieces do not wear easily. They remain sharp and hold up to daily wear. Weight: 36.45 grams (23.40 Dwt). Measurements: 30 mm by 27 mm by 15 mm (1.18 x 1.06 x 0.60 Inches). Hallmarks: They are both stamped with the Henry Dunay maker's mark, the mark for the assay and warranty of the 18kt gold, the serial numbers and signed as follows, "©DUNAY D. 18 KT B6792". Henry Dunay He was born in 1935 in New Jersey, He was an American goldsmith and jewelry designer, best known for his fine scratched surface technique known as Sabi. Having apprenticed in the workshop of New York City jeweler Rudolph Cacioli at the age of 14, Dunay learned the fine art of creating jewelry. Though starting as an errand boy, he quickly worked his way up to becoming a master model maker and setter at a remarkably young age, impressing Cacioli with the fineness of his work and the refinement of his proportions and curves. Observing that most jewelry in shop windows he peered into followed the same styles and dimensions, he started his own firm in 1956. Taking on work from other manufacturers (including Harry Winston) to support himself initially, Dunay quickly found success and fame after winning the De Beers Diamond International Award, which showered images of his designs around the world. Literature: Henry Dunay, A precious Life, Several Authors, Abrams, New York. For similar examples illustrated. Collateral: This pair of Henry Dunay earrings is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box. Condition: The overall condition of this pair of Henry Dunay earrings is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the gold. This pair was carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity. INVENTORY REF: E071325STEA/.8762
