Perfect for daily commutes and weekend escapes, this silver‑plated Hermès Cheval keyring lends an elegant equestrian touch to your keys. A refined finishing detail for office, travel or gifting to a Hermès devotee.
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 are the dimensions of the Cheval keyring? A: The horse‑head pendant is approximately 4.5 × 4.5 cm. The ring is around 3 cm in diameter on this model, keeping it compact for pockets and practical as a bag charm. Minor variation can occur by production year—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.
Q: What is it made from? A: This A Retro Tale piece is crafted from silver‑plated metal with a polished finish. Hermès has produced the Cheval design in different metallic finishes over time; this example is the silver‑plated version as stated in the product information.
Q: How does the screw‑lock closure work? A: Gently rotate the threaded end anticlockwise to open, slide your keys onto the bar, then screw it back clockwise until it sits snug. Do not over‑tighten and periodically check it’s secure, especially if you carry multiple keys or a fob.
Q: Will it fit a car fob and standard keys? A: Yes. With an approximate 3 cm ring diameter, it comfortably holds most house keys and typical car‑key fobs. Very bulky fobs may reduce how freely the pendant hangs; if in doubt, measure the fob’s loop opening against the ring diameter.
Q: Can I use it as a bag charm on my Hermès or other bags? A: Absolutely—many owners wear it as a decorative charm. To minimise marks, avoid letting the metal rub directly against leather or other hardware and remove it before storing your bag. A small fabric loop or protector can help reduce micro‑scratches.
Q: How should I clean and care for silver‑plated metal? A: Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp lint‑free cloth. Avoid abrasive polishes, metal dips, or harsh chemicals, which can strip plating. Dry thoroughly after any moisture, and store in a cool, dry place—ideally in an anti‑tarnish pouch or the box provided.
Q: Will it tarnish or show wear over time? A: Light surface oxidation can develop on silver‑plated finishes. Occasional gentle buffing with a non‑abrasive jewellery cloth is fine, but over‑polishing can thin the plating. If heavily worn, a trusted jeweller can re‑plate; note this is a personal choice that may affect originality and resale preferences.
Q: What markings should I expect? A: Hermès metal pieces typically feature Hermès branding and a country‑of‑origin mark; the Cheval keyring is made in Switzerland in current production. Stamping style and placement can vary slightly by year.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this listing notes a box is included. Everything provided will be listed there; if an item isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, including materials, construction, engravings and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
