"Bleu Cristal" 1960s Nina Ricci Sunglasses

A luminous take on 1960s luxury eyewear, this Nina Ricci frame reimagines the era’s fascination with embellishment through a softer, more ethereal lens. The oversized silhouette is traced with delicate crystal detailing, set against a translucent frame and cool blue gradient lenses that give the piece a lighter, more modern presence.

Where many embellished frames of the time leaned bold, this pair feels restrained and elegant, capturing Nina Ricci’s signature balance of femininity and sophistication.
