Dinh Van Large Handcuff Ring in Yellow Gold

A ring designed by Dinh Van, a large piece from the iconic Menottes collection—one of the French jewelry house’s most recognizable creations.
Created in the 1970s, the Menottes have become one of Jean Dinh Van’s signature motifs, perfectly illustrating his vision of contemporary jewelry with clean lines, where the simplicity of the forms is combined with a strong graphic identity.
Crafted in 750/°° yellow gold (18 KT, owl hallmark), this ring features two stylized handcuffs, intertwined in a fluid and harmonious movement. Their generous, curved lines come together in a particularly balanced composition, with openwork details that visually lighten the structure.
Although the overall profile is relatively flat, the interlacing of the two elements creates a subtle play of relief, accentuated by the polished surfaces of the yellow gold and the way light reflects off them, highlighting the curves of the motif.
The design retains a certain realism, particularly thanks to the characteristic notches on the handcuffs, directly inspired by the clasp system conceived by the designer and which has become emblematic of his collections.
With a width of 1.60 cm, this large-sized ring makes a striking statement on the finger, while maintaining a sweeping, low-profile design that makes it particularly comfortable and easy to wear every day.
The inside of the band bears the Dinh Van signature, his number, and an engraving of the ring size, 55.
Both sculptural and minimalist, this creation embodies the designer’s unique aesthetic, whose jewelry is distinguished by its timeless modernity and its ability to transform familiar objects and mechanisms into true jewelry motifs.
A ring with character, instantly recognizable, a symbol of connection and attachment, and one of Dinh Van’s most iconic creations.
