The Nina Ricci "Coussin d'Émail Menthe" Clip-On Earrings

Archive Collection

A vibrant monument to late-20th-century Mod chic and Parisian sophistication, The Nina Ricci "Coussin d'Émail Menthe" Clip-On Earrings arrive in immaculate, deadstock archival condition. Perfectly preserved on their original cream velvet display card carrying the gilded "NINA RICCI®" signature plaque, this rare pair is a stunning testament to the French fashion house’s mastery of bold, geometric forms and play with clean colors.

Each earring is masterfully sculpted into a highly dimensional, softly rounded square or cushion (coussin) silhouette. The striking design features a concentric layout coated in a glossy, liquid-smooth mint-green enamel (émail menthe). This serene, pastel hue is elegantly divided by a raised, rounded-square frame of high-polished gold-plating, isolating a matching domed enamel core at the absolute center. The stark, clean contrast between the bright, warm golden metal and the cool, calming mint-green enamel offers an incredibly fresh, retro-modern aesthetic that effortlessly frames the face with a youthful yet refined elegance.

As an authentic vintage find from the golden era of Nina Ricci’s costume jewelry collections, this pair showcases the exceptional casting weight, flawless enamel leveling, and signature heavy-deposit gold-plating that define the peak of 20th-century jewelry engineering.
