The minimalist elegance of the Dinh Van Menottes
Created in 1976 by Jean Dinh Van, the Menottes collection transforms a functional object into a symbol of jewellery. This pair of stud earrings exemplifies the House’s minimalist approach. Each earring features a natural brilliant-cut diamond with an estimated total weight of 0.01 carats, lending a subtle sparkle to the 18-carat white gold. Choosing this pre-owned piece allows you to own a classic example of contemporary design.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The white gold setting features a clean, geometric profile softened by curved lines and a mirror-polished finish. The two diamonds are set using a closed setting, a technique that protects the stone whilst preserving the visual fluidity of the piece. The patented Alpa clasp ensures a secure fit. The absence of prongs enhances the smooth appearance of the material.
