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
