Q: What does Année Méditerranée mean?
A: It means “Year of the Mediterranean” and identifies this Hermès cadena design with the 2003 theme.

Q: What is a cadena charm?
A: A cadena is a padlock-style charm. This one can be worn as a decorative bag accessory, provided its fitting suits the attachment point you choose.

Q: How large is this charm?
A: It measures approximately 4 cm high, 3 cm wide and 0.5 cm deep. Check these measurements against your intended bag or accessory before purchasing.

Q: How does it open, and does it need a key?
A: The 2003 Année Méditerranée design is associated with a twist-style opening rather than a separate key. Handle the fitting gently and do not force it if it resists.

Q: Will it fit any Hermès bag?
A: Not necessarily. Fit depends on the size and shape of the bag’s handle or attachment point. A metal charm may also rub against leather or hardware as the bag moves, so position it with care.

Q: Is the silver colour sterling silver?
A: Silver describes the colour of this piece; the product information does not confirm that it is made of sterling silver. Please do not assume a precious-metal composition.

A: It is listed in very good condition. The hardware is shiny with light scratches, consistent with a pre-owned accessory.

Q: Does it come with a box, dust bag or key?
A: No additional accessories are listed in the product information. A box, dust bag and key should not be assumed to be included.

Q: How should I care for it?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after handling. Keep it away from moisture, perfume and harsh chemicals, and store it separately from other metal items to help prevent scratches.
