DINH VAN DIAMOND HANDCUFF RING, 0.06 CT

The design of this Dinh Van Menottes ring

Created in 1976 by Jean Dinh Van, the Menottes collection marks a significant shift in French jewellery design. It transforms a purely functional element – the clasp – into a central motif. This pre-owned ring exemplifies this technical approach with a structure crafted from 18-carat white gold. Bearing the reference number 267512, this model combines the smooth lines of the polished metal with a half-pavé setting of diamonds. A pre-owned piece with a geometric and understated design.

Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship

The architecture of the setting centres on two intertwined rings, directly integrated into the body of the ring. The jewellery craftsmanship focuses on the upper loop and the left shoulder via a grain setting holding 13 brilliant-cut diamonds, with an estimated total weight of 0.06 carats. This technique highlights the table of each stone whilst maintaining the fluidity of the metal’s curve. The opposite loop, left smooth, accentuates this asymmetry.
