Perfect for a gallery opening or elegant dinner, this vintage Hermès scarf ring in gold-plated metal with the signature H adds a refined finish to a silk scarf, elevating tailored jackets and evening dresses with timeless polish.
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: Which scarf formats does this Hermès scarf ring suit best? A: It is ideal for the classic 90 cm carré. You can also use it with lighter folds of 70 cm and 45 cm scarves. For very slim Twilly ribbons, a dedicated Twilly ring is recommended for a secure hold. Please refer to the Measurements on this page to judge the fit for your preferred folds.
Q: Will it work with a Twilly? A: A standard scarf ring is usually too large to grip a Twilly securely. It can be used decoratively with pre‑tied knots, but for everyday wear we suggest a Twilly‑specific ring designed for the narrower width.
Q: How do I thread and wear a scarf with a ring? A: Fold your scarf into a long bias band, feed both ends evenly through the ring, then slide the ring up or down to adjust. For a secure finish, loop one end back through to create a lark’s‑head (cow hitch) style. You can wear it at the neck, on a blouse, or to cinch a belt or bag scarf.
Q: Will a scarf ring damage my silk? A: Unlike pins or brooches, a ring does not pierce the fabric. Hermès rings are designed with smooth finishes to glide over silk. To minimise friction, avoid tugging, ensure the ring is clean and free from rough edges, and don’t pull the scarf through when wet.
Q: What is this ring made of? A: Hermès scarf rings are typically crafted in brass with precious‑metal plating. This piece is gold‑plated metal, offering a warm, polished finish that complements most scarf colours.
Q: What is permabrass and how does it differ from gold plating? A: Permabrass is a champagne‑toned plated finish over brass that reads softer and paler than yellow gold plating. Gold‑plated finishes appear richer and more yellow; both are designed to be durable with proper care.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid abrasive polishes, chemical cleaners, and direct contact with perfume or lotions. Store it in its box or a soft pouch to prevent surface scratches. For professional cleaning or refinishing, Hermès stores offer care services.
Q: What are the measurements of this ring? A: Approximately 2.5 × 2.5 × 1.3 cm. The internal opening is slightly smaller than the outer dimensions, so thicker folds may be snug—adjust your fold width for a smooth glide.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a box, as listed under Accessories. Everything included is stated on this page—if you have any questions about extras, please contact us.
Q: How do you authenticate this accessory? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point inspection by our experts, including metal quality, finishing, and engraved branding. Many Hermès scarf rings feature crisp, evenly spaced “Hermès Paris” and “Made in France” markings; placement and fonts can vary by model and era. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos on request.
