Dinh Van necklaces, iconic patterns around the neck
To wear a Dinh Van necklace is inevitably to wear around the neck an
iconic pattern, recognizable among all, which has been able to cross the ages without taking a wrinkle. Dinh Van's jewelry design thus comes in gold or gold and diamond necklaces whose shape itself is imbued with minimalism.
No question, with this House, of loaded necklaces and imposing necklaces, elegance is written in discretion. The
Cuffs necklaces and their Double Hearts variation thus perfectly characterize the Dinh Van style, where the purity of lines takes the lead, where inspiration is found in everyday objects - namely here, not handcuffs, but originally the clasp of a key ring. Whether it's a fine chain or a link chain, Menottes necklaces come in a variety of variations, in white gold, yellow gold or rose gold, with or without diamonds, up to this all-white gold and diamond choker to be worn as a set.
When talking about emblematic Dinh Van designs, those born from the creativity of the founder of the House, it is impossible to overlook
The Diamond Cube, where the openwork cube on its four sides lets the light circulate and sublimate a round diamond. The various versions of necklaces, pendants and chokers again invite themselves in all styles.
Seventies and Pi, iconic pendants
Dinh Van likes straightforward shapes, favors the round and square, plays with geometries. This state of mind is particularly evident in two
imbolic pendants of the House,
Seventies and
Pi.
The discs roam free at the end of their chain, like the stylized circle in yellow or white gold and Seventies diamonds. A certain idea of jewelry that is also found in the
Spirale Dinh Van pendant, in 18-karat white gold, diamonds and black diamonds.
When it comes to pendants, however, the Dinh Van benchmark remains the
Chinese Pi, a pierced disc in 24-karat yellow gold, hand-hammered to make each piece unique. This true lucky charm pendant reflects both the spirit and know-how of the jewelry house, its boldness too with the use of pure gold.
When handcuffs take on colors
Dinh Van's audacity sometimes takes on colors, when the House decides to weave its
bracelets according to an ancestral Japanese method or when it combines its handcuffs with multicolored beads. Some
models of necklaces thus exist in more original versions and recall that in the 1960s, Jean Dinh Van combined metal with ornamental stones.
Four decades later, the House has released a limited edition of four handcuffs and stone beads necklaces, where the vibrant color of the minerals combines with the gold of the design: yellow gold and lapis lazuli, white gold and chrysoprase or white howlite, rose gold and coral.
Menottes necklaces are also available with cultured pearls, Akoya or Tahitian pearls, in precious versions.
