As a pioneer of the statement-making jewelry movement in the early 1980s, Manevitz brings his love of art to his collections by working with fine, unusual materials such as lucite, pewter, glass and crystal to create unique, innovative and inspirational designs. Ben-Amun jewelry can be characterized as “wearable art” – bold, interesting and statement-making and all Ben-Amun pieces are handcrafted in Ben-Amun’s factory in New York’s iconic fashion district.
