Dinh Van Vintage Modernist 18k Gold Square Hematite Ring

About the brand Jean Dinh Van was one of the first jewelry designers in the 1960s to embrace minimalism and accessibility. At a time when luxury meant exclusivity, excess, and celebrity status, his approach was bold and totally revolutionary.
After a decade designing for Cartier, Dinh Van broke away to do things his own way. With the motto “Luxury is simplicity,” he launched a new kind of jewelry house: one that quickly made its mark with iconic, timeless designs.
His concept was fresh and unexpected. He paired diamonds with cotton cords, mixed silver with gold, and turned everyday shapes like handcuffs and razors into elegant, wearable pieces.
Dinh Van’s designs balance delicacy and femininity with strong, graphic lines. It’s a powerful mix that, along with the brand’s commitment to its core aesthetic, has kept it relevant for decades.
