Contemporary minimalism according to Dinh Van
In the 1970s, Jean Dinh Van overturned the codes of traditional jewellery by integrating everyday mechanical elements into his designs. This innovative vision gave birth to the essential line of exposed clasps. The collection then evolved towards a more romantic interpretation with the Double Cœurs model. This second-hand bracelet in 18-carat yellow gold is a perfect illustration of this refined aesthetic. Made up of two interlocking hearts, this piece of jewellery bearing reference 345501 replaces the classic clasp with a central motif that becomes the very essence of the design.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The structure of this piece is based on a precise mechanism. The 2 hollowed-out central hearts function through a lateral notch allowing secure insertion. This fluid attachment is held by a double chain made up of elongated rectangular links. This configuration is reminiscent of the stretched forçat mesh typical of the brand's workshops. The entire frame has an impeccable mirror-polished finish. This fair distribution of material ensures that the wrist is very appreciably light for everyday wear, while at the same time providing the solidity essential to this type of assembly.
Why this second-hand bracelet
Choosing this pre-owned creation allows you to acquire an icon of contemporary Parisian design at an optimised value. The deliberate asymmetry of the motifs and the robustness of the double mesh require rigorous shaping. Opting for this perfectly maintained bracelet is part of a discerning aesthetic approach, offering access to a timeless classic without suffering the ever-increasing production costs of today's market.
