Dinh Van: Modern French Jewelry That Broke the Rules

Founded in Paris in 1965 by Jean Dinh Van, a former Cartier designer, Dinh Van introduced a revolutionary vision of fine jewelry—stripped of excess, designed for real life, and infused with architectural clarity. The maison pioneered unisex jewelry, wearable luxury, and minimalist design before these concepts became mainstream. Today, Dinh Van remains synonymous with discreet power, creative freedom, and timeless innovation.
