Le Cube Diamant at dinh van

The story

Jean Dinh Van made Le Cube Diamant in 1971, working solids against voids and the circle against the square. The small cube now hangs from fine chains and sits on rings, earrings and bangles; one ring sets two cubes face to face, and some necklaces come in black titanium.
