Ben-Amun vintage fashion jewelry
Egyptian by birth, Isaac Manevitz founded Ben-Amun jewelry company in the 1970s. The name of the company comes from the name of his eldest son Ben and the last four letters of the name of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. His wife Regina Manevitz has co-owned Ben-Amun for 40 years and serves as the designer’s muse.
All Ben-Amun products are handcrafted in a factory located in New York’s iconic Manhattan area. The cost of any piece of jewelry from Ben-Amun starts at $ 150, and this is not surprising, its jewelry is a work of art that you can wear. Isaac has a lot to be proud of, as his clients included such style icons as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Kate Moss, Blake Lively and Rihanna. In addition, Ben-Amun jewelry is regularly featured in Vogue, Elle, L’Officiel, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire and other prestigious fashion publications.
Incorporated in 1977, BEN-AMUN CO., INC. ceased to exist in 1991.
Traditionally, the designer created real works of art, skillfully combining pewter, natural stones, lucite and Czech glass. Noteworthy, Ben-Amun designs and manufactures jewelry for Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors and Tory Burch.
