Piece of the Week: Nikos Koulis’ Oui Fringe Earring
Live from the Couture jewelry trade show in Las Vegas, here’s what Nikos Koulis is bringing to the roulette table.

Las Vegas--Sexy, dynamic and design-forward, Nikos Koulis’ treasures being presented at the Couture show, happening now, make booth 802 in the Wynn’s Latour ballroom the hottest destination in Las Vegas.
The Greek powerhouse applies some of his favorite design elements to a hoop earring and the result is totally Nikos—a splash of black enamel almost appears to drip down the 18-karat white gold linear earring, which is adorned in diamond pavé and culminates in a trillion-cut diamond point.
Part of the designer’s popular enamel Oui collection, these “fringe” earrings will retail for $27,600 at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City, where Koulis recently had a trunk show.
