Q: What are these Hermès Isthme drop earrings made from? A: This pair is crafted from horn and lacquer, a signature Hermès combination that gives the earrings their sculptural look and glossy finish. As horn is a natural material, subtle variation in tone and texture is normal and part of the design’s character.
Q: What size are these earrings? A: According to the product information, these earrings measure approximately 7 cm in height, 4 cm in width and 0.3 cm in depth. They have a bold drop silhouette, so they make more of a statement than a small everyday stud.
Q: Are these earrings lightweight or substantial to wear? A: The Isthme design is typically loved for offering statement styling without the bulky feel of many oversized earrings. They are a noticeable drop style, but the horn construction helps keep them comfortable for occasional or evening wear.
Q: Will the colour and finish look exactly the same throughout? A: Not always. Horn is a natural material, so slight differences in shade, grain and depth of colour can occur. With lacquered pieces, minor tonal variation and surface character are also part of the overall appeal. The item photos show the actual pair available.
Q: Are these a good choice for everyday wear or more for occasions? A: Their elongated drop shape and distinctive horn-and-lacquer finish make them especially well suited to elevated daywear, dinners and occasion dressing. They can certainly be worn more casually, but they are best described as a statement earring rather than a minimalist basic.
Q: Are pre-owned Hermès horn earrings delicate? A: They should be treated with care. Horn and lacquer are beautiful materials, but they can show scratches, react to moisture and be damaged by knocks or drops. Gentle handling and proper storage will help preserve their finish over time.
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: How should I care for horn and lacquer earrings? A: Handle them gently and wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid water, perfume, hairspray, lotions, high humidity, prolonged direct sunlight and heat, as natural horn and lacquer can be sensitive to moisture and temperature changes. It is also best to store them separately to help prevent scratches.
Q: What condition are these earrings in? A: These earrings are listed in Very Good condition. The product information notes light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes a box. Everything included is listed in the product information; if another accessory is not mentioned there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Are these a good choice for everyday wear or more for occasions? A: Their elongated drop shape and distinctive horn-and-lacquer finish make them especially well suited to elevated daywear, dinners and occasion dressing.
