Details
These oversized translucent frames, handmade in France, are a rare expression of 1960s Parisian elegance, where femininity was sculpted into form. Adorned with shimmering crystals, these are fitted with a soft rose lense, giving truth to the saying "rose colored glasses". Frame Model: 1030 (RD0) Decade: 1960s Country of Origin: France Lenses: Soft pink gradient lenses Condition: Excellent vintage Measurements: 57-11-135 Provenance Sourced from Marta, an 85-year-old collector in Miami who spent decades traveling the world in search of rare eyewear. Historical Context Founded in Paris in 1932, Nina Ricci became synonymous with romantic, feminine design. While best known for couture and fragrance, early eyewear pieces from the 1960s are far less common, often produced in limited quantities with an emphasis on elegance, ornamentation, and craftsmanship. This pair reflects that era’s softer interpretation of statement eyewear, where embellishment and silhouette worked together to create presence without heaviness.
