CR Dunetz is a jewelry brand founded by the husband and wife team of designers Ronald and Kleana Dunetz. Their work is characterized by an innovative and unconventional style, referring to the paintings of surrealist and cubist artists.
The brand’s history began in the 1980s. The designers began creating jewelry using the bright cloisonne enamel technique, as well as experimenting with combinations of different metals, such as high-grade gold (22 and 24 carats) and sterling silver, with the inclusion of semi-precious stones.
Each piece of jewelry bears a hallmark containing the creators’ signature – “CR Dunetz”.
The Dunetz claim that their creations are at the intersection of fine art and jewelry, striving to create objects that are perceived as something between a painting and a piece of jewelry. Distinctive features of the products include:
* the use of the cloisonne enamel technique;
* use of several types of metal in one product;
* application of engraved symbols.
CR Dunetz products are rare on the jewelry market, which makes them popular among collectors and connoisseurs.
