Dinh Van handcuffs: an iconic and timeless pattern
Formerly at Cartier, Jean Dinh Van went against the grain of everything that was then being done in the world of luxury jewelry. When the designer founded his own Maison in 1965, no one was expecting him and yet everyone participated in the success of his creations. It must be said that the first jewel from Maison Dinh Van was simply intended for Pierre Cardin, it was the “Deux perles” ring, a great success that allowed the designer to be selected for the Montreal World's Fair.
The 1970s marked a new turning point for the company: first with the creation of the first piece of jewelry on a cord, then with the birth of the Menottes collection in 1976. Inspired by a key ring attachment system, the Menottes stood out in the world of jewelry, where people tried at all costs to hide the clasp. The principle of this collection was to use a common motif as a clasp, then visible in the very center of the jewel. The Menottes also symbolize union, it is a motif of love and attachment that has become absolutely iconic. Dinh Van also succeeded in his masterstroke by giving everyone the possibility of personalizing their Menottes jewelry : you can choose the metal and the cord, but also the mini or maxi version of the same piece.
