Vintage Henry Dunay 18k Gold Hammered Shell Motif Clip Earrings

These vintage Henry Dunay earrings are crafted in 18k yellow gold and feature a sculptural shell motif with a rounded folded fan form. The design is built with layered, curved ridges that create dimension across the face of each earring, while the hand hammered finish gives the gold a textured surface that reflects light without the use of gemstones. This style reflects Henry Dunay’s recognized late 20th century gold work, defined by bold form, substantial scale, and hammered texture. The earrings are stamped Dunay, 18K, 750, copyright mark, and maker's mark. They date to circa 1980s to 1990s and are fitted with omega clip backs and posts for secure wear. The pair weighs 27.8 grams and measures 1 3/8 inches by 1 1/8 inches. There is light wear to the gold consistent with age.
