dinh van Serrure – The key to a free and minimalist design

Since 1975, Serrure has been one of dinh van's emblematic creations. True to the House's minimalist approach, the bracelet is distinguished by a gold bangle with clean lines and a clasp system that fully contributes to its aesthetic.

The collection draws its inspiration from the world of keys, a symbol of openness and freedom. This reference is above all symbolic: it evokes the idea of a jewel that accompanies everyone freely, far from traditional jewellery codes.

On the bracelet, the lock takes shape in the clasp. dinh van thus reinterprets the characteristic design of a lock to create a fastening system that is both functional and aesthetic. Rather than concealing this element, the House chooses to leave it visible and give it a central place in the design of the jewel.

The result is a minimalist creation where the clasp transcends its simple practical function to fully participate in the identity of the Serrure bracelet.

The key to freedom

Everyday objects transformed into jewellery

The Serrure collection perfectly illustrates Jean Dinh Van's creative approach. Since the creation of the Maison in 1965, the jeweller has been interested in simple everyday objects, transforming them and giving them a new dimension through jewellery.

With Serrure, it is the very principle of the clasp that becomes a source of inspiration. Rather than concealing the fastening system, dinh van chooses to make it visible and give it a real graphic presence. 

The power of clean lines

Serrure prioritizes an aesthetic stripped down to the essentials. Volumes and curves are crafted to create an immediately identifiable piece of jewellery without resorting to excessive ornamentation. 

Jewellery designed to be worn 

Serrure translates one of dinh van's founding beliefs: a precious piece of jewellery can be simple, personal, and for everyday wear. Its timeless aesthetic allows it to be naturally integrated into different styles and worn for years to come.

The clasp at the heart of the design

The distinctive feature of the Serrure bracelet is its clasp, designed as an integral part of the jewellery. On the collection’s historical models, its design evokes a lock while maintaining a sober and contemporary aesthetic.

The Maison has devised an ingenious fastening system combined with a precisely crafted gold ribbon. The contrast between the flexibility required for opening and the rigidity that allows the jewellery to retain its shape contributes to the unique technical nature of the creation. Thus, what might otherwise be merely a functional detail becomes the focal point of the bracelet.

A Minimalist Aesthetic

The Serrure collection embodies a vision of jewellery stripped of all superfluity. The forms are deliberately refined to highlight the construction of the piece, without unnecessary ornamentation. Serrure bracelets come in several versions: some are adorned with a diamond, while others are distinguished by the sobriety of brushed yellow gold.

Despite this diversity, they all share the same language: simple lines, a graphic allure, and timeless elegance.

A design that spans generations 

Born in 1975, Serrure is one of the House's iconic creations. The collection continues to evolve today with new interpretations, while retaining the foundational principle of its design.
