The Nina Ricci Émail Noir Monogramme Plaque Necklace

Archive Collection

A masterclass in 1980s corporate chic and architectural branding, The Nina Ricci Émail Noir Monogramme Plaque Necklace balances bold geometry with polished high-fashion details. Showcasing the era's affinity for sleek black accents and heavy golden hardware, this piece offers an incredibly sharp, tailored aesthetic.

The design features a substantial, rectangular plaque pendant shaped with clean, columned golden borders that flank a central pool of deep, glossy black enamel (émail noir). Set directly into the center of the dark enamel field is a raised, high-polished gold-tone "NR" initials monogram that catches the light beautifully against the opaque background. The plaque is suspended from a sleek, fluidly linked gold-tone snake chain. In an exceptional display of archival detailing, the side of the chain features an asymmetrical accent comprised of two interlocking, structural "NR" logo links, transforming the structural branding into a core design feature.

As an authentic archival find, this piece exhibits the flawless enamel-laying precision, heavy structural casting weight, and signature premium triple-layered gold-plating depth characteristic of vintage Nina Ricci engineering.
