The Nina Ricci Coquille Sculpturale Ribbed C-Clasp Earrings

Archive Collection

An elegant embodiment of sculptural minimalism and mid-1980s couture power-tailoring, The Nina Ricci Coquille Sculpturale Ribbed C-Clasp Earrings arrive perfectly preserved in pristine deadstock condition, presented on their original velvet display card from the archive. This pair highlights the House’s masterful command of dramatic hardware shape and refined texture mixing.

The design is sculpted into a substantial, dimensional open crescent or 'C' shape, featuring a high-arched, volumetric dome that catches the light from every angle. The curved body is defined by precise, deep vertical ribbing—known as a coquille (shell) or fluted texture—that alternates high-polished gold-tone ridges with shadowed grooves. This creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and depth. The outer curve flows flawlessly into a sleek, integrated clasp or hinge point, showcasing the seamless architectural engineering characteristic of vintage Nina Ricci accessories.

As an authentic deadstock archival find, these earrings showcase the immaculate mold definition, substantial casting weight, and signature premium triple-layered gold-plating depth iconic to the peak of Nina Ricci couture hardware legacy.
