To mark the 50th anniversary of the Menottes collection, Maison dinh van has not reinvented itself: it has chosen to explore a single design concept—the one from 1976—in greater depth, rather than replace it.
Since 1976, the Menottes collection by dinh van has been based on an idea that has never needed to be revised: making the link itself the very essence of the jewelry. For this anniversary, the House is offering neither a break from its style nor a new silhouette, but rather variations in materials on a motif that remains true to itself. This year, the design is adorned with mother-of-pearl or onyx and is available as a necklace as well as chain earrings, sometimes minimalist, sometimes more assertive—yet always staying true to the original design.
The piece that best exemplifies this approach is the reversible necklace: worn either entirely in gold or with the semi-precious stone visible, it offers two interpretations of the same object rather than two separate pieces of jewelry. It is this economy of means—exploring volumes, materials, and proportions without altering the founding principle—that defines how dinh van allows a collection to age: each variation extends the vision established in 1976 rather than competing with it.
Designs in mother-of-pearl and onyx, reversible necklaces (available in solid gold or with the stone visible), and chain earrings—marking the 50th anniversary of the collection launched in 1976.
At a time when most jewelry houses are reinventing their aesthetic every season, dinh van takes the opposite approach: one of deliberate slowness, where innovation lies in the materials and never in the subject matter.
