Beginning in the 1960s, French jeweler Jean Dinh Van designed innovative pieces that were a breath of fresh air in the staid world of jewelry. Dinh Van s creations have always been inspired by observation of the world and everyday objects, and collections have included pieces with a sophisticated sense of humor, from Menottes rings and Chinese Pi discs to entwined hearts. This elegant volume chronicles the iconic creations of this house, whose spirit continues to reach wider audiences."
