Product Details

ERA: 1980s / Parisian High-Octane Glamour. Under the artistic direction of Gérard Pipart, the house of Nina Ricci refined the "Power Dressing" aesthetic of the 1980s, favoring bold, logo-centric hardware that balanced industrial strength with feminine sparkle. This pendant necklace is a quintessential artifact of that era, featuring a sophisticated two-tone interplay. The centerpiece is a silver-tone "NR" monogram set within a brilliant crystal-encrusted halo, framed by a thick, high-polish gold-tone bezel. This design reflects the decade’s obsession with "Logomania" and the "White Metal" trend, where mixing silver and gold tones became a hallmark of high-status versatility. It is a striking example of the house’s transition into wearable contemporary luxury, designed to bridge the gap between daytime professional attire and evening opulence. SPECS & PROVENANCE: Design: A circular, three-dimensional pendant featuring a silver-tone "NR" logo surrounded by a halo of micro-pave Swarovski crystals, set within a high-shine gold-tone housing. The pendant hangs from a premium twisted rope chain. Hardware: Premium gold-tone and silver-tone plated base metal. The necklace measures approximately 17 inches in length with a 2-inch extender chain (approx. 19" total), securing with a reliable lobster claw clasp. Hallmarks: The reverse of the signature "NR" logo extender charm is precisely stamped with the "Nina Ricci" script logo and the "©" copyright symbol, verifying its authentic 1980s designer heritage. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The gold-tone plating maintains a rich, warm luster. Visual analysis confirms all crystals are present and brilliant, with only minimal, age-appropriate micro-scratching on the high-polish reverse side. Investment: Vintage Nina Ricci "NR" logo pieces remain high-liquidity assets on luxury platforms. Collectors specifically seek out these 1980s two-tone crystal designs for their substantial manufacturing weight and unmistakable brand equity. Authenticity Guaranteed.
