Ben Amun

Son of an Egyptian court jeweler, Isaac Manevitz named his brand after his firstborn Ben and the Pharaoh Amun. For the brand that has gained a cult status over the past 40 years, everything started with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis who fell in love with Ben Amun’s signature hefty bracelets. Today, the charismatic and charming Isaac Manevits is a jewelry maker of choice for Naomi Campbell, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Christina Aguilera. Bohemian and vintage Ben Amun jewelry is hand-crafted in the brand’s atelier strategically located in one of the world’s primary fashion centers—the Manhattan’s Garment District. Turnover there is notoriously low: most of the artists have been with the brand for over 30 years.
