1980 Henry Dunay Tanzanite and Diamond Ring

A deep oval of color rises from a bright, sculpted setting.

This Henry Dunay ring centers on a 6.41-carat oval blue tanzanite, its saturated violet-blue body held in warm 18k yellow gold. Around the stone, white diamonds totaling 2.41 carats form a rounded, petal-like surround, continuing into tiered diamond-set shoulders that give the ring breadth and balance across the hand. The design has the boldness associated with 1980s American jewelry, yet the composition remains finely controlled: luminous, architectural, and full of polished gold texture. Sizable and substantial in presence, it is a rare blue tanzanite jewel with the confident glamour of its era.

A ring where color gathers at the center, framed by gold and diamond in full bloom.
