The D'Orlan Corne d'Abondance Perlée Earrings

Archive Collection

A captivating example of mid-1980s texture play and sculptural asymmetry, The D'Orlan Corne d'Abondance Perlée Earrings arrive in immaculate deadstock archival condition. Preserved beautifully on their original cream velvet display card accented by the signature gilded "Bijoux D'ORLAN Paris" tab, this pair highlights the house’s exceptional ability to build high-impact elegance through intricate metalwork alone.

Each earring is sculpted into a stylized, curving horn of plenty (corne d'abondance) or crescent wing silhouette that gracefully hugs the contour of the earlobe. The dynamic design is defined by a striking structural contrast: a thick, high-polished golden ribbon forms a smooth, fluid outer border that catches sharp mirror-like reflections. Nestled within this sleek frame is a densely granulated field covered in hundreds of miniature, raised golden beads (perlée). This rich, stippled texture diffuses light beautifully, creating a soft, shimmering glow that contrasts magnificently against the high-gloss polished rim.

As an authentic deadstock find from the premier D'Orlan and Nina Ricci era, these earrings showcase the crisp mold definition, substantial structural casting weight, and signature premium triple-layered 22kt gold-plating depth iconic to the brand’s vintage haute couture legacy.
