Hermès Clic Clac H Bracelet

Q: Is this Hermès Clic Clac H Bracelet authentic?
A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.

Q: What is it made from? Is it solid gold?
A: The Clic Clac H is crafted from enamel over plated base metal with either gold‑plated or palladium‑plated hardware. It is fashion jewellery—not solid gold—unless explicitly stated. This piece features black enamel with gold‑plated hardware.

Q: What size is this bracelet and how will it fit?
A: Hermès offers the wide Clic Clac H in PM (small) and GM (large). PM is designed for wrists around 16 cm; GM is typically for 17–17.5 cm wrists. This bracelet is noted at approximately 16.5 cm inner perimeter and 20 mm width, reading as the wide style on most wrists. If you’d like the exact inner diameter or a photo on wrist for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.

Q: How do I open and close the ‘H’ clasp without stressing the hinge?
A: Align the two halves on your wrist, gently press the ends together, then rotate the ‘H’ until it sits straight to lock. To remove, rotate the ‘H’ back and ease the bracelet open. Avoid prying the clasp or twisting the hinge; rotate the ‘H’ rather than pulling on it.

Q: Can I wear it daily, in the shower, swimming or at the gym?
A: Keep it dry and remove before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying lotions, perfume or hand sanitiser. Moisture, chemicals and impact can dull plating, mark enamel and stress the clasp.

Q: How should I care for the enamel and plated finish?
A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre or chamois cloth. Store individually in its box/pouch in a dry place, away from heat and humidity. Avoid abrasive polishes, chemical dips and ultrasonic cleaners, and protect the bracelet from knocks that can chip enamel.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect?
A: Authentic Hermès hinged bracelets typically bear crisp engravings inside the band such as “HERMÈS”, “MADE IN FRANCE”, and a serial or reference code, with clean, evenly pressed fonts. Stamps are often positioned near the hinge. Our listing photos show any markings present.

Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Fashion jewellery alloys may contain nickel. Many wearers have no issues, but if you have sensitivities, keep the bracelet dry, monitor comfort and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further.

Q: Can it be repaired or replated if enamel chips or the clasp loosens?
A: Hermès boutiques can assess pieces and advise on available maintenance/repair services; outcomes and timeframes vary by case. Specialist workshops may offer enamel touch‑ups or replating, though results can differ from original manufacture. Alterations may affect originality and resale value—contact us for recommendations.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: This bracelet is in Good Condition with light signs of wear possible. It includes a box as listed. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please review eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
