The Equestrian Heritage of Hermes

Hermes established its unique position in the luxury landscape by maintaining an unwavering commitment to exceptional craftsmanship while celebrating its equestrian origins. Founded in 1837 as a harness workshop in Paris, the house developed a distinctive aesthetic that transformed functional elements from horse tack and saddlery into refined design motifs. Their jewelry creations embody this heritage through elegant interpretations of equestrian hardware, combining precious metals with signature materials like leather to create pieces that balance sophistication with understated functionality.

Vintage Hermes jewelry features characteristic elements including equestrian-inspired motifs like stirrups, bits, and chains, innovative combinations of leather with precious metals, and the refined restraint that defines the house’s approach to luxury. Authentication markers include the distinctive Chaîne d’Ancre link pattern, precise mechanical functions derived from practical hardware, and the exceptional quality of materials that ensures both beauty and durability. The house’s commitment to practical elegance created pieces that transcend conventional jewelry categories, often blurring the line between adornment and functional accessory.
