The Nina Ricci Volute Étoilée Scintillante Earrings

Archive Collection

A spectacular embodiment of late-1980s Parisian glamour and fluid asymmetry, The Nina Ricci Volute Étoilée Scintillante Earrings beautifully showcase the House's legendary capacity to marry bold, architectural metalwork with delicate, light-catching details. Exhibited elegantly on a black velvet presentation stand, this archival pair captures the eye through its sweeping, organic movement and starry sparkle.

Each button earring is sculpted into a highly dimensional, stylized wing, fan, or crashing wave profile that curves gracefully to frame the face. The design features a series of sweeping golden ridges (volutes) buffed to a brilliant, high-gloss mirror shine. These fluid, polished waves cascade downward, transitioning seamlessly into an intricate, multi-tiered field accented with clusters of tiny, star-like clear Swarovski crystals (étoilée scintillante). The striking juxtaposition between the heavy, liquid gold bands and the glittering, crystal-encrusted lower trim allows the piece to catch the light beautifully with every movement, creating a luxurious three-dimensional shimmer.

As an authentic archival treasure from the peak collaboration era of Nina Ricci and D'Orlan manufacturing, these earrings demonstrate the immaculate flush stone-setting precision, robust casting weight, and signature premium triple-layered 22kt gold-plating depth defining vintage French couture history.
