vintage dunay festoon necklace

It’s that time of year. Time for a shimmering festoon necklace by Henry Dunay, composed of 53 graduated eighteen gold elements of varying lengths ranging from 42 mm in the center to 22 mm on the ends. At 16.75 inches long and 140 grams, it sits beautifully above the collarbone. Dunay uses the “sabi” technique to etch very fine lines in the gold which create the ethereal effect. We dig it.
