Erica Dunk Bio

Erica M. Dunk, Sr. Sales Associate

Erica managed a boutique in Orange County, California before coming to Rung in 2010. In addition to her position at Rung, she is also the designer/owner of Hyper Haute jewelry. She studied fashion in L.A., and after class field trips to Rodeo Drive, she discovered she that while she may even not be able even “afford lunch on Rodeo, let alone designer pearls” she was walking away with the motivation to be a highly successful designer. Having “Rodeo taste on a ‘recession-ista’s’ budget inspired (her) to not just design jewelry, but to reinvent it.” Her signature piece is the chain lock necklace. The original was anchored by a fully-functional, gold chain lock used for doors and flanked by vintage white pearls.

She’s showcased jewelry in fashion shows for Paul Mitchell school, Rung, Pashmina, and was Ola Styles’ chosen jewelry designer for the Alive Magazine and Delux fashion weeks. She’s also been in numerous photo shoots with House of Style and was interviewed for their magazine.
