About Ben-Amun Jewelry

Ben-Amun was founded by Egyptian-born jewelry designer Isaac Manevitz, a visionary who drew inspiration from his heritage and family to create a brand that is cherished by many. The name Ben-Amun merges the name of his eldest son, Ben, with that of the former Egyptian king, Tutankhamun, reflecting a blend of personal and cultural significance. Known for bringing an artistic flair to his work, Isaac has infused his collections with his love of sculpture, creating designs that are not just modern and contemporary but also timeless. The jewelry is handcrafted by a diligent team of skilled artisans in the New York City Garment District atelier, using the highest quality materials like 24K gold, Majorca pearls, and Czech glass stones. Every piece illustrates Isaac’s appreciation for symmetry, viewing it as a measure of beauty and balance, and aims to make women feel poised, sophisticated, intellectually stimulating, and unforgettable.
