Delivery & Returns
Q: What is the Hermès Chaîne d’Ancre and when was it created? A: The Chaîne d’Ancre (anchor chain) motif was conceived by Robert Dumas after observing boat anchor chains on the Normandy coast in the late 1930s; Hermès introduced the first silver Chaîne d’Ancre bracelet in 1938, and it has remained an emblem of the house for more than 80 years.
Q: What material is this piece made from? A: It is crafted in sterling silver (Ag 925). Hermès Chaîne d’Ancre bracelets are made from 925/1000 silver for a substantial feel and bright finish.
Q: What wrist size will it fit and how should I measure? A: This specific bracelet fits a wrist up to 15.5 cm (about 6.1 in). To check your size, wrap a flexible tape snugly around the spot where you wear a bracelet, then add a small comfort allowance. For toggle‑closure chain bracelets, a close (not loose) fit helps prevent the T‑bar from slipping back through the ring.
Q: Is the toggle clasp secure for daily wear? A: When properly sized and worn, the substantial T‑bar and circular ring provide a secure closure. As with any toggle bracelet, avoid wearing it too loose and remove it for vigorous activities to reduce the risk of accidental opening.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how do I care for it? A: Sterling silver naturally develops a light patina over time. Regular wear actually slows tarnish. Wipe with a soft, clean cloth and store it dry and individually in its box or pouch. Avoid direct contact with perfumes and cosmetics, and keep away from humidity and heat. Hermès stores can provide professional cleaning if needed.
Q: Can I shower, swim or exercise while wearing it? A: It is best to remove the bracelet before exercising, swimming and household chores. Avoid chlorinated pools, salt water and extreme heat. If it does get wet, rinse with clean room‑temperature water and dry with a soft cloth.
Q: Which hallmarks should I expect on authentic Hermès silver bracelets? A: Authentic pieces typically bear crisp, even stamping such as Hermès signature marks, metal purity (Ag 925 or 925) and country of manufacture, and may also carry French hallmarks and a maker’s mark; placement can vary by model and year. Stamping should be legible and evenly applied.
Q: Can the size be adjusted? A: The length is fixed; adding or removing links requires a skilled jeweller and may affect brand servicing or resale value. For polishing or care, Hermès offers after‑sales services—consult a boutique for guidance before altering a piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing comes with the original Hermès box. Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
