This exquisite pair of vintage earrings by master American goldsmith Henry Dunay is a bold testament to timeless elegance and sculptural sophistication. Handcrafted in solid 18K yellow gold, these earrings feature Dunay’s iconic swirl knot motif, composed of deeply grooved, twisted gold ribbons that create dynamic movement and textural depth.
Each earring showcases a brilliant hammered finish on alternating segments, contrasted with sleek high-polish curves that catch the light beautifully from every angle. This play of texture and shine is a signature element of Dunay’s celebrated aesthetic, reflecting his deep understanding of form and proportion.
Weighing approximately 27 grams total, these earrings are as luxurious as they are wearable. The bold dimensional shape hugs the earlobe and secures with classic clip-on backs, making them suitable for both pierced and non-pierced ears. Comfortable yet commanding, they embody the effortless glamour of 1980s American high jewelry design.
Henry Dunay, renowned for his award-winning artistry and meticulous craftsmanship, rose to prominence in the late 20th century for his sensuous, sculptural gold designs and exceptional attention to detail. These earrings are a prime example of his legacy—both collectible and enduringly chic.
