Hammered 18K Yellow Gold Earclips by Henry Dunay, Circa 1970s

A diamond-shaped silhouette anchors these earclips, its surface built from Henry Dunay's signature interplay of hammered and high-polish gold finishes. The hammered texture, applied by hand across the raised quilted sections, catches light in scattered points rather than a single smooth reflection, while polished ridges frame each section and provide a clean visual break between textures. This contrast of finishes was central to Dunay's design language throughout the 1970s, turning gold itself into the entire subject of the piece rather than a setting for gemstones. The substantial 35mm scale gives the earrings real presence without feeling heavy against the ear. A hallmark example of Dunay's technical signature, appealing to collectors who specifically seek his work. Excellent condition; no visible wear, dents, or damage to the gold surface.
