dinh van Serrure Information and FAQ

About the dinh van Serrure

Serrure belongs to the same idea as Menottes - everyday hardware rendered in gold - but takes the lock rather than the key. The clasp is the focal point of the bangle, and the rest of the form is left deliberately plain so nothing competes with it.

The line splits into two shapes. The jonc is a fine rigid bangle built around the clasp motif; the Serrure bracelet proper is heavier and more minimal, its only ornament a single flush-set diamond. Both are offered in 16cm and 17cm.

dinh van Serrure Models & Variations
  • Serrure Jonc - the fine bangle, at 16cm, with a single diamond at 0.04ct or paved at 0.19ct
  • Serrure bracelet - the heavier minimal form at 17cm, with one flush-set diamond at 0.035ct

What does Serrure mean?
Serrure is French for lock. The bangle closes with a mechanism drawn from a padlock, which is both the fastening and the design. dinh van's own line for the collection is "Not a jewel: a key."

When was Serrure created?
dinh van's collection page and its sixtieth-anniversary history both date the Serrure bracelet to 1975, a year before the Menottes clasp. Some other sources date it differently, but 1975 is the maison's own figure.

What is the difference between the Serrure Jonc and the Serrure bracelet?
The jonc is the finer of the two - a slim rigid bangle built around the clasp motif. The Serrure bracelet is heavier and more minimal, with a single flush-set diamond as its only detail. King Jewelers carries both.

Is the Serrure bangle rigid or flexible?
Rigid. It is a bangle rather than a chain, which is why the lock clasp matters - it is how the piece opens and closes. Sizing is by wrist circumference, and King Jewelers holds 16cm and 17cm.

How many diamonds are on a Serrure bracelet?
It depends on the model. The Serrure bracelet and the single-stone jonc each carry one diamond, at 0.035 and 0.04 carats. The paved jonc carries 0.19 carats across the clasp.

What metal is Serrure made from?
18-carat gold - 750 thousandths, the French high jewelry standard. All three Serrure pieces at King Jewelers are yellow gold.

Yes. King Jewelers is an authorized dinh van retailer in Nashville, Tennessee. Every Serrure piece is sourced directly from the maison and arrives with its authenticity certificate.
