The Nina Ricci "Ovale de Nacre et Cristaux" Clip-On Earrings

Archive Collection

A masterclass in quiet luxury and classic French elegance, The Nina Ricci "Ovale de Nacre et Cristaux" Clip-On Earrings arrive in pristine, deadstock archival condition. Beautifully preserved on their original cream velvet display card carrying the gilded "NINA RICCI®" signature, this rare pair captures the house’s legacy of crafting jewelry defined by refined symmetry and timeless, face-framing illumination.

Each earring is sculpted into an elongated, dimensional oval silhouette featuring a series of meticulously layered concentric frames. The outermost border consists of a high-polished gold-plated ridge, which directly hugs a sparkling channel of hand-set, icy-clear crystals. Nestled within this shimmering crystal halo is a smooth, domed inlay of luminescent mother-of-pearl (nacre) enamel, radiating a soft, pearl-like sheen. At the very center sits a golden marquise-shaped core, accented with additional brilliant crystals for a final, delicate touch of light-refracting depth. The harmonious contrast between the warm golden plating, the bright white crystals, and the soft, iridescent luster of the enamel inlay creates a classic "old-money" aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from day to night.

As an authentic archival find from the golden era of Nina Ricci's 20th-century jewelry collections, these clip-ons display the exceptional casting weight, flawless enamel leveling, and signature heavy-deposit gold plating iconic to the brand's luxury heritage.
