A biography about Henry Dunay and his designs.
Creator of the “Jeweled Art Collection” a series of exquisite bejeweled quartz eggs which debuted at the Kuntsmuseum in Basel, Switzerland in April 1988. Dunay is known for his elegant collections of 18 karat gold featured at Neiman Marcus. His Cynnabar Collection was inspired by ancient hand painted Chinese scrolls. They depict mythical and earthly scenes.
Hillary Clinton wore the Kahn Canary ring designed by Dunay to the Presidential inauguration of her husband Bill Clinton.
I shared a lobster dinner with Henry and his wife several years ago at the Society of Jewelry Historians annual conference where he was a featured speaker. It was wonderful listening to him talk about his life.
