Company Founder, Nancy Dunitz Dunitz & Company Founder/Owner Nancy Dunitz first formed Dunitz & Company in 1989 to follow a lifelong dream -- to design jewelry and beautiful things for the home made in the third world countries she liked to visit. "I started with Guatemala because it was only six versus 36 hours away, " laughs Nancy. "And, I felt it was important to learn the intricacies of product distribution before venturing into the Asian market. But once I spent time in Guatemala - building my product line and meeting the friends and designers I now consider my 'second family'- I found I didn't need or want to go anywhere else." While working with some Guatemalan craftspeople on giftware and home accent designs during the developmental stages of her company, Nancy soon met one of the designers she still works with today. "She made all types of beadwork and I always loved what she was creating, " she adds. Nancy teamed up with her to sketch and design jewelry that has since become an integral part of her current collection.
