Dinh Van

The beauty of Dinh Van’s closure




The beauty of closures is called Dinh Van. The Parisian jewelery brand, many years ago, decided that the part of the jewel that is usually hidden as much as possible should instead have the greatest prominence. From this idea was born the Serrure collection (word that means lock in French) which finds its specificity precisely in its jewel closure. Starting from this principle, for example, a bracelet is made like a gold ring lightened with any mechanism, flexible to open, rigid enough not to deform and with the visible closing mechanism.

The same closure of the Serrure collection is also available for rings, necklace or earrings. On the other hand, Dinh Van, founded in the sixties by a designer of Vietnamese origin who had worked for the great Maison of Place Vendôme, debuted on the international market with the even more famous collection of menottes (handcuffs), jewels with a shape inspired by the tool used to immobilize criminals. Or the lovers.

Dinh Van with a Pulse

//

The Pulse collection of the French Maison Dinh Van chooses simple but refined shapes ♦ ︎

Famous for its Menottes jewelry collection, that is, handcuffs, with a form that caused scandal 50 years ago, the Dinh Van brand has re-launched and renewed. Its founder, Jean Dinh Van, had created the brand in 1965, after collaborating with Cartier. And he had inherited a bit of non-conformism from the great French Maison alongside a simple but innovative design. Not a high jewelry, but jewels of a certain standing.

Under new management, the Dinh Van brand has been renewed with 16 sales points and is now focusing on the US market, although its base remains firmly anchored in Paris. The Maison has not lost a minimalist and at the same time modern taste, as evidenced by its large Pulse collection, in pink and white gold with diamonds. The style recalls, in the abstract, metallic elements used in the old Meccano game. Only here they do not serve to combine screws and bolts, but to decorate lobes, wrists, fingers and décolleté.

The irony of Dinh Van

The jewels in addition to the famous menottes of the Parisian brand Dinh van. Like the Le Cube Diamant collection ♦

Dinh van in 1965 opened his own jewelry workshop in Paris, after having worked extensively as a designer for Cartier, with the idea of ​​combining the Eastern minimalism to modern Western taste. By the Vietnamese origins, now turned into the culture and western taste, it has remained the idea of ​​a certain lightness. For example, with the use, made into jewelry, everyday objects. As in the case of the closure “handcuffs”, born from a key chain in 1976. His best-known collections are Dinh van Menottes, seventies, Chinese Pi, Cible and Serrure.

The Le Cube Diamant collection, instead, contains the stone in an original cubic setting of white gold.

The style has pleased many large Maison, who has hoped to Dinh van to draw pieces for them, but also to celebrity such as Catherine Deneuve, Zinedine Zidane, Kate Moss, Inès de la Fressange, Lapo Elkann, Jean Reno who have chosen to wear creations of Parisian designer. And after all these years the brand Dinh van continues to pursue his journey without leaving the original style. Margherita Donato

Anthéa is back with with Dinh Van




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

Dinh Van, 40 years in handcuffs

Handcuffs (menottes) around his neck and with the keys (not prison) for 40 years of Dinh Van.
You stand for 40 with handcuffs and happy. More, you take the opportunity to celebrate the anniversary. This is what happens when the handcuffs are those designed by Jean Dinh Van. The French designer of Vietnamese origin has created this model that has withstood the test of time and, indeed, it still multiplies. Although a love in handcuffs (menottes in french) to someone may seem a concept a little coercive, to most of lovers like the idea that the partner is inextricably linked: the concept has been the basis of success, a bit’ as the locks hooked to bridges (but they came much later). The fact is that on that model designed in 1975 the brand Van Dinh still shows off new variations of the original jewel. And now, to celebrate the anniversary, are new necklaces and even a keychain in the shape of handcuffs which, with time, has become more and more rounded and less as police tool. The keychain Menottes, for example, costs 280 Euros, but it has been proposed in a limited edition of 200 pieces per color. It is not meant for hold the keys to a prison. Alessia Mongrando

The 50 years of Dinh Van

It’s 50 years old, and now celebrates them with a special jewel and a book: the Parisian Dinh Van manages to renew his unique style, which has consecrated it among the great design. Established in 1965, by jeweler-craftsman Jean Dinh Van, of Vietnamese origin, the French company has been able to stand out from other brands in the industry for the style that stays away from forms like flowers, animals or crosses. In short, no symbols, but a clean geometric line, far from the traditional codes of jewelery. Instead, Dinh Van has managed to reinterpret everyday objects, transforming them into jewelry, such as razor blades or handcuffs. The first jewel successful of Van Dinh was the ring 2 Perle, created in 1967 to Pierre Cardin. A revolution for its time, with a silhouette square, in which they are located two different colored balls in the center. An extraordinary piece, which entered in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris in 2003.
To celebrate its half century of existence, the brand has decided to reinterpret this ring in a complete collection in yellow gold, adorned with two pearls (Tahiti or Akoya pearls, but also freshwater, white and hematite). The collection comes in rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings. Scheduled (in November) is also a new edition of the bracelet Maillet de polo, dated 1980. The model will be offered in only 50 pieces.
Finally, it is publishing a book about the greatest creations of the house. Written by Berenice Geoffroy-Schneiter for Assouline Publishing, it makes right to honor to Franco-Vietnamese designer. Lavinia Andorno
