Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the Chaîne d'Ancre design? A: It is an Hermès signature created in 1938 by Robert Dumas, inspired by a ship’s anchor chain. This piece interprets the motif as a sleek open cuff in sterling silver for a timeless, nautical-influenced look.
Q: What is this bracelet made from? A: Solid sterling silver (925). It features an open cuff silhouette with an approximate width of 10 mm and depth of 2 mm. The country-of-origin stamp for this piece is Italy, as indicated in our listing.
Q: What size is it and how will it fit? A: The inner perimeter is approximately 16 cm. Open cuffs generally suit wrists close to that measurement. Measure your wrist where you plan to wear the bracelet; a close-but-comfortable fit is ideal for cuffs.
Q: Can the cuff be adjusted or resized? A: Minor fit adjustments should only be done by a professional jeweller. Repeated bending can fatigue sterling silver and distort the shape. For any care or service needs, Hermès offers maintenance support; we are happy to advise on options.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I care for it? A: Sterling silver naturally oxidises over time. Wearing it regularly helps slow tarnish. Avoid moisture, heat, and chemicals; wipe with a soft, clean cloth after wear. For heavier oxidation, professional cleaning is recommended.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool, or sea? A: We recommend removing it before washing hands, swimming, sauna/steam, or beach activities. Salt water, chlorine and cosmetics can dull or mark silver and accelerate oxidation.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on an authentic Hermès silver bracelet? A: Typical markings include Hermès branding and a silver fineness stamp such as 925/Ag925, often accompanied by a country-of-origin mark like Italy. Placement varies by model. Every piece at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our experts before it is listed.
Q: Is this style unisex? A: Yes. Chaîne d’Ancre jewellery is worn by all genders and is offered by Hermès in a range of link widths and sizes, making it easy to style solo or stacked.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, a box is included if stated there.
Q: What is the condition of this bracelet? A: Very good vintage condition with light surface marks from careful wear. The silver remains shiny with light scratches; please review the photos for full details.
