The Nina Ricci "Goutte de Crème et Noir" Clip-On Earrings

Archive Collection

A striking monument to retro-modernist elegance and graphic Parisian style, The Nina Ricci "Goutte de Crème et Noir" Clip-On Earrings arrive in immaculate, deadstock archival condition. Perfectly preserved on their original cream velvet display card carrying the gilded "NINA RICCI®" signature plaque, this rare pair masterfully demonstrates the French fashion house’s genius for bold, color-blocked enamel combinations.

Each earring is sculpted into an exquisite, highly dimensional teardrop (goutte) silhouette. The design features a high-domed central cabochon finished in a smooth, liquid-gloss ivory cream enamel (crème). Encircling this rich, light-reflecting centerpiece is a contrasting outer border of deep obsidian black enamel (noir), bordered by a delicate, high-polished gold-plated trim. This stark, graphic play between the warm cream, the deep black frame, and the polished gold accents delivers a timeless Parisian aesthetic that is simultaneously classic and incredibly modern.

As an authentic vintage treasure from the golden era of Nina Ricci’s costume jewelry collections, this pair showcases the exceptional casting weight, flawless cold-fired enamel leveling, and signature heavy-deposit gold-plating that define the peak of 20th-century jewelry engineering.
