Perfect for race day or equestrian-inspired soirées, this vintage Hermès silver bangle with Cheval horse head motif adds refined polish to tailored looks and evening wear.
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 wrist size will this bangle fit? A: This slip-on bangle is best for a wrist of around 19.5 cm in circumference. Because it is a closed, rigid design, it also needs to pass comfortably over your hand; measure around the widest part over your knuckles to be sure it will slide on and off with ease.
Q: What is the bangle made of? A: Hermès silver bracelets are crafted in sterling silver and finished to enhance their shine. Vintage pieces typically carry precious-metal hallmarks; specific stamps can vary by model and year.
Q: Which hallmarks should I expect to see? A: Many Hermès sterling-silver pieces are stamped with Hermès signatures such as “Hermès” and “Made in France”, a fineness mark like “Ag 925/925”, and, on some French-issued pieces, an assay hallmark (for example the Minerva head). Placement varies, and not every piece bears all marks.
Q: Will the silver tarnish over time? A: Yes—silver naturally oxidises. Hermès notes that regular wear slows tarnishing, and light oxidation can be buffed away with a soft, clean cloth. For heavier oxidation, a professional cleaning is recommended.
Q: How should I clean and store it at home? A: Wipe gently with a soft, clean cloth; if needed, use a little mild, pH‑neutral soap and rinse with room‑temperature water before drying carefully. Avoid silver dips, abrasive polishes, ultrasonic cleaners, perfume, and chlorinated or salt water. Store separately in a dry place, away from heat and humidity.
Q: Can a closed Hermès bangle like this be resized? A: Resizing closed bangles is difficult and can affect the symmetry, finish and hallmarks. Hermès does not offer resizing for fixed bangles. If you must explore it, consult an expert jeweller, but we recommend selecting the correct size instead.
Q: Is this piece unisex? A: Yes. Hermès silver bangles are often worn by all genders. Whether it suits you depends mainly on fit and personal style; a 19.5 cm circumference generally suits medium to larger wrists.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the piece is listed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a box or pouch is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, hallmarks, stamps and craftsmanship. Please note that Hermès itself only guarantees authenticity for items purchased through its own boutiques or official channels; therefore, we perform our own rigorous authentication and stand behind it.
