“Nina Ricci” 80’s-90’s floral openwork link necklace

From the late 1980s to around the 1990s, we would like to introduce a striking floral openwork necklace with abundant decorative appeal.

Crafted using lustrous gold-toned metal, this exceptional piece features multiple oval links in a connected arrangement. Its grid-like cutout detailing and three-dimensional flower motif placed at the center beautifully overlap, offering delicate lightness amid its glamorous presence.

The outer rim of each link is finished with a raised border reminiscent of rope knitting, creating subtle shadows depending on the angle at which it catches the light. Although the central floral ornament is compact, it has height in its sculpted form, allowing you to appreciate a depth that cannot be achieved with flat prints or simple stamping.

In addition, the openwork set within helps to appropriately soften the visual volume of the gold metal. The result is a balanced design that avoids a heavy impression while naturally complementing the neckline.

The clasp uses a toggle-style fastening that passes a bar through a ring. It is not merely a functional component added for utility, but exists as part of the overall decorative design in harmony with the piece as a whole. Because it can be seen beautifully from the back side of the neck as well, it is a standout choice for styles with tied hair or outfits with an open back.

Regarding the era, the gold-toned three-dimensional embellishment, the openwork incorporating floral elements, the rope-like border, and the decorative toggle-style hardware are consistent with the design motifs seen in Nina Ricci costume jewelry from the late 1980s to around the 1990s.

While evoking the feminine and romantic aesthetic that Nina Ricci has carried forward, the piece’s three-dimensional composition is especially appealing because it does not lean only into sweetness. Adding just one piece to a simple outfit will help you enhance the overall impression in a glamorous way.

We particularly recommend this for those who wish to incorporate classic accessories into everyday styling, as well as for those who want to express individuality through the sculptural design itself rather than a modest logo. It works not only for dressed-up occasions—by pairing it with the collar of a shirt or jacket, it can also be seamlessly integrated into your usual look.

For styling, pairing it with a neat tailored blazer or a simple blouse will add an elegant touch of glamour at the neckline. If you incorporate it as a single accent into a black dress or a long dress, you can maintain a classic mood while creating a distinctive look. Whether for women or men, it also makes a wonderful accent within a pared-down, mode-inspired style.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
