(New York, NY) September 2007 Henry Dunay celebrates his 50 years in the fine jewelry industry with an elegant book "Henry Dunay: A Precious Life" launching bookstores across the country and Neiman Marcus stores this Fall. His life reads like a great American story — it is a chronicle of hard work, imagination, passion and determination to be the very best in the fine jewelry industry.
Dunay built his business to fit the luxurious mold of the great jewelry houses of all time: Faberge, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. What separates Henry Dunay from the rest is his ability to design and create his jewelry from start to finish; A skill no member of the previous jewelry houses have ever been able to achieve. The combination of Dunay's one-of-a-kind story and jewelry, along with breath-taking photos of his designs, and anecdotes from the notable women who have worn them, make this publication a gem of a book.

Harlow, Curator of Minerals and Gems at the American Museum of National History, and interviews with some of Dunay's clients and family by journalist Jeryl Brunner.
