Q: What is the Lift motif inspired by?
A: The Lift design is one of Hermès’ recognisable heritage motifs. It is associated with the decorative ironwork of the lift at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris and features the house’s intertwined H-inspired design language.

Q: How should I care for this necklace?
A: Handle it gently and avoid contact with water, perfume, cosmetics, humidity, and abrasive surfaces. It is best removed before exercise, swimming, showering, or household chores. When not in use, store it separately in a pouch or box to help protect the surface from further scratches.

Q: Is this a good everyday necklace or more of a statement piece?
A: It works especially well as a statement necklace. The large pendant and adjustable cord make it versatile enough for everyday wear, but it is particularly effective over simple knitwear, shirts, dresses, or monochrome looks where the design can stand out.
