The Nina Ricci Trio de Fleurs Côtelées au Cœur Granulé Brooch

Archive Collection

A remarkably chic and sophisticated showcase of late-1980s botanical grace, The Nina Ricci Trio de Fleurs Côtelées au Cœur Granulé Brooch highlights the House’s legendary talent for elevating classic floral motifs into luxurious, wearable art through pure, masterful metalwork. Designed as an elegant, linear cluster, this rare archival piece brings a perfect balance of architectural texture and soft, metallic radiance to any lapel, scarf, or neckline.

The brooch features a graduated trio of beautifully sculpted, five-petal blossoms arranged in a gentle, cascading row. Each petal is meticulously crafted with a deeply ribbed or fluted (côtelé) texture, polished to a brilliant, high-gloss mirror shine. This dynamic, undulating gold-tone finish draws light inward toward the heart of each flower, where a contrasting, dome-shaped silver-tone center sits. Rather than using gemstones, these centers feature an incredibly fine, beaded granulation (cœur granulé) or stippled texture. This clever, jewelry-grade frosting technique catches the light in a soft, twinkling display that beautifully mimics the organic texture of real flower pollen centers. The clean, bicolor contrast between the warm, liquid gold petals and the cool, granulated silver-tone cores provides a classic, timeless look that pairs effortlessly with any wardrobe.

As an authentic archival find from the premier Nina Ricci and D'Orlan manufacturing era, this brooch demonstrates the flawless casting weight, sharp mold definitions, and signature premium triple-layered 22kt gold-plating depth defining the brand's vintage couture legacy.
