The Nina Ricci Émeraude Octogonale et Cadre Côtelé Stud Earrings

Archive Collection

A stunning testament to late-1980s power dressing and geometric elegance, The Nina Ricci Émeraude Octogonale et Cadre Côtelé Stud Earrings arrive in immaculate, deadstock archival condition. Perfectly preserved on their original cream velvet display card carrying the classic gilded "NINA RICCI" branding, this rare pair represents the pinnacle of vintage Parisian couture styling.

At the heart of each statement earring lies an emerald-cut, deep forest-green faux emerald glass gemstone. The rich, velvety green core is held within a secure bezel setting, beautifully designed to draw light into the stone and radiate a regal, sophisticated glow. Enclosing this vibrant center is an architectural, high-polished gold-plated frame featuring structured, step-beveled vertical ribbing (cadre côtelé). The clean, octagonal geometric silhouette and contrasting textures—between the glass-smooth crystal and the deeply grooved golden frame—create a dramatic play of light that frames the face with elegant, vintage brilliance.

As an authentic deadstock find from the golden collaboration era of Nina Ricci and D'Orlan manufacturing, these earrings showcase the exceptional casting weight, flawless mold precision, and signature premium triple-layered 22kt gold-plating depth defining the brand's luxury vintage legacy.
