About Henry Dunay (1935–2023)
Henry Dunay (born Henry Loniewski) began his career as an apprentice in New York, rising rapidly from errand boy to master craftsman. In 1956, he established his own firm and quickly gained international acclaim, thanks in part to his De Beers Diamond International Award-winning designs.
His pieces stood out for their sensuous curves, flawless craftsmanship, and pioneering surface textures – most notably the Sabi finish, inspired by the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic. This refined, hand-etched technique became a hallmark of his brand and reflected a unique blend of East-meets-West sensibility.
Henry Dunay’s jewellery was sold in the world’s finest stores, championed by tastemakers such as Stanley Marcus of Neiman Marcus. He even created bespoke pieces for figures such as Hillary Clinton, designing a ring from an uncut Arkansas diamond for her to wear at the 1993 inaugural balls.
