The Nina Ricci Étrier d'Or et Anneau d'Onix Drop Earrings

Archive Collection

A striking exercise in monochromatic contrast and geometric elegance, The Nina Ricci Étrier d'Or et Anneau d'Onix Drop Earrings highlight the House's masterful ability to balance classical tailoring with graphic, modern lines. Reimagining elements of equestrian and Art Deco design, this rare archival pair offers a sophisticated, face-framing drop that captures the chic, high-contrast palette popular in late-1980s Parisian couture.

Each earring is constructed in three beautifully articulated sections that allow for soft, fluid movement. The design begins with a sleek, vertical gold-plated post button hand-set with a graduating trio of brilliant-cut clear Swarovski crystals. Suspended from this top post is a delicate, openwork stirrup (étrier) motif, heavily encrusted with further handset crystals that shimmer beautifully with every movement. Looped through the base of this glittering golden stirrup is a smooth, high-contrast black lucite or resin ring (anneau d'onix), polished to a deep, liquid-like glossy finish that perfectly mimics genuine onyx. The dramatic transition from bright, glittering gold to the clean, deep black ring creates an effortlessly sophisticated statement.

As an authentic archival find from the premier Nina Ricci and D'Orlan manufacturing era, these earrings demonstrate the immaculate crystal-setting precision, robust casting weight, and signature premium triple-layered 22kt gold-plating depth iconic to the brand’s luxury jewelry legacy.
