The Nina Ricci "Entrelacs et Onyx" Button Earrings

Archive Collection

A striking departure from traditional gold tones, The Nina Ricci "Entrelacs et Onyx" Button Earrings are a dramatic, sculptural marvel showcasing the French fashion house’s genius for bold, graphic textures. This rare late-20th-century pair pairs architectural fluid motion with rich, contrasting materials to create an exceptionally chic, modern aesthetic.

Each clip-on earring is designed as a highly dimensional, domed round button. The surface features an intricate, woven nest of high-polished, overlapping silver-tone ribbons (entrelacs). These gleaming, metallic bands are set with a dynamic pattern of deep black glass cabochons mimicking pure onyx. The seamless way the bright, reflective silver ribbons curve over and around the smooth, light-absorbing black cabochons creates a beautiful play of light, shadow, and depth. This stark, monochrome contrast offers a highly sophisticated, Parisian "old-money" style that makes a sharp, elegant statement.

As an authentic vintage find from the peak era of Nina Ricci’s costume jewelry collections, these earrings showcase the exceptional casting weight, flawless three-dimensional symmetry, and signature premium plating durability that define the brand’s vintage legacy.
