Dinh Van Jewelry

Dinh Van jewelry: Parisian minimalism reinvented

Jean Dinh Van founded his company in 1965 in Paris, bringing a radical breath of fresh air to French jewelry. Trained under Pierre Cardin and then at Cartier, this visionary designer revolutionized the industry by offering refined, everyday wearable Dinh Van jewelry. The Dinh Van handcuffs became a symbol of unapologetic freedom, the diamond cube transformed pure geometry into precious adornment, while the Dinh Van pulse captured the sensuality of movement.

At Castafiore, we value these pre-owned Dinh Van jewels for their timeless elegance that transcends generations, carrying the innovative spirit of Jean Dinh Van and his minimalist aesthetic which has become a reference in contemporary jewelry.

The iconic creations of the Dinh Van fashion house

The brand is distinguished by its instantly recognizable, iconic lines. The Dinh Van cord bracelet introduces a novel approach by combining a textile cord with gold clasps, creating a striking contrast between precious materials and everyday elements. This democratization allows Dinh Van diamonds to be worn with ease, regardless of the Dinh Van model chosen.

Dinh Van handcuffs: freedom and complicity

Dinh Van handcuffs were created in 1976 and instantly became the brand's emblem. This Van handcuff bracelet transforms an object of restraint into a symbol of freedom. The Dinh Van handcuff model is available in white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold, sometimes enhanced with diamonds for a more precious Van pavé version.

Some vintage versions incorporate colored stones or finishes that the current collection no longer offers, providing the opportunity to own a Dinh Van jewel in a configuration that has become rare, perfect for creating an atypical look that breaks the mold.

Pulse Dinh Van and diamond cube: sensual geometry

The Dinh Van Pulse captures the essence of the pulse in organic curves. This Van Pulse line is distinguished by its rounded shapes that naturally hug the wrist. The white gold models paved with diamonds offer exceptional brilliance, while the titanium versions provide unparalleled lightness, embodying Dinh Van's innovative approach.

The Van diamond cube embodies the quintessence of minimalist jewelry. The diamond cube necklace presents the diamond in its simplest expression, without embellishment. The sapphire diamond cube offers a colorful alternative, while the pavé pendant enriches certain models with a constellation of Dinh Van diamonds, amplifying the brilliance without weighing down the clean lines.

Link and razor blade: audacious reinterpretations

The Dinh Van Maillon transforms the industrial chain into refined adornment, creating strikingly modern necklaces and bracelets. The Maillon model is available in various sizes, reflecting different eras. The Van Razor Blade repurposes an everyday masculine object into a feminine pendant, illustrating the humor and creative audacity that characterize Dinh Van's unique approach, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Material innovation and authenticity of Dinh Van jewelry

Jean Dinh Van constantly explores new territories by incorporating unusual materials into fine jewelry. The textile cord becomes an integral element of the piece, creating a fascinating contrast with Dinh Van's gold and diamonds.

The Dinh cord bracelet offers an infinite number of colours to personalise your jewelry according to your desires.

Titanium and technical innovation

The introduction of titanium into jewelry represents a technical revolution. This aeronautical metal offers exceptional strength for its featherweight design.

Titanium jewelry can be worn with unparalleled ease, reflecting Jean Dinh Van's avant-garde vision.
