Jean Dinh Van, born in 1927 to a Breton mother and a Vietnamese father, began his career at Cartier before founding his own jewellery house in Paris in 1965. He was a pioneer of minimalist jewellery, creating refined, contemporary pieces designed to be worn every day.

dinh van introduced design into fine jewellery, creating graphic, minimalist and easy-to-wear pieces. Each creation reflects simplicity, authenticity and independence—core values of the maison since its beginnings.

Among the most iconic collections are:

• Menottes: symbolising attachment and love, featuring an ingenious clasp inspired by a key ring
• Le Cube Diamant: a play on volume and harmony between circle and square, with a floating diamond effect
• Serrure: a minimalist bracelet inspired by a precious padlock
• Pulse: urban, contemporary jewellery inspired by the rhythm of life
• Seventies, Maillon, Daily Diamond: each collection combines boldness, graphic design and everyday wearability

Yes. Collections such as Menottes and Maillon are designed to be worn by everyone, featuring clean lines and a contemporary style suited to all generations.
