This timeless jewelry set, designed by Nina Ricci for AVON during the 1980s-1990s, showcases the elegant fusion of art-deco elements with classic styling. The set includes a necklace and a pair of clip-on earrings, each featuring a striking design of black enamel and white rhinestones set in silver-toned metal. The geometric patterns and the glossy contrast between the black and white elements capture the essence of the art-deco era, known for its bold lines and opulent designs.
The necklace is distinguished by its sleek, contoured collar—a FOSS Stainless Steel Slider, designed to comfortably embrace the wearer's neck with a subtle curvature that complements the central pendant. This design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures that the necklace sits beautifully, making it a perfect statement piece. The earrings, designed as clip-ons, mirror the pendant’s design, making them versatile for both formal and casual occasions.
Nina Ricci's collaboration with AVON during this period brought high fashion into the realm of accessible luxury, blending meticulous craftsmanship with wearable art. This set is a testament to that vision, offering a timeless appeal that remains as relevant and stylish today as when it was first created. Ideal for collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike, this set is not just jewelry; it is a piece of fashion history from a renowned designer and a celebrated brand.
