Dina Jewel (also known as Chris De May, Dina Juwel, Nanna, Alison (karupspc.com), and Nanna Gibson) is the most common alias for the Norwegian pornographic actress Nanna Grønnevik (born February 1, 1978). She has been in many European and American porn productions. She is one of the most successful Norwegian porn stars, though her career began in Sweden due to the limited nature of the pornographic film industry in Norway.

Jewel got into adult film in her late teens, first working in European hardcore. Among her notable European work is World Sex Tour #13 (working with Mark Davis and Mr. Marcus). American producers signed her as a talent shortly after in the mid-90s. Dina's first American works were for Private Video. Her first notable American work is Nasty Nymphos #20 (working with Vince Vouyer). Dina seems relaxed in front of the camera and her early roles give no hints of tension. Jewel was Miss February 1998 Penthouse Pet of the Month. As of late 1999, Dina seems to have left the erotica film industry.

Among her notable works include Amateur Madness #28, These Girls Walk?, Climax Shots #089: Ass Treasures, Butt Banged Hitchhiking Whores, and Seymore Butts's Think Sphinc (working with T.T. Boy).
