New models of Anthéa rings signed by Parisian jeweler Dinh Van ♦ ︎
Trying to drive the dragon-drawn carriage of Goddess Persephone, who had decided to entrust Trittolem a prestigious commitment, to spread the harvests on the earth, Antea rushed from the means of transport, dying. His father wept him (Antea in Greek is also a male name) in the company of the same Trittolem. What is the link between the tragic fate of mythological Antea and the Anthéa jewelery collection created in the Seventies by the French-Vietnamese designer Dinh Van, is not clear. Certainly for those years, but perhaps still today, ring-shaped rings with a circular diamond pavé have been a trendy design. A bit like the menottes (handcuffs) that are the other strong piece of the Paris jewelery maker. Now the rings in the Anthéa collections come with new pieces and different sizes to fit every single finger.
Dinh Van is a brand created in 1965 by Jean Dinh Van, with the aim of offering precious, but affordable, desigin jewelery. Luxury for Everyone, so much so that he was the first jeweler to debut at a drugstore. Almost a provocation, of course, as he liked to do with many of his jewels. Alessia Mongrando
