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: Which scarf sizes does this Hermès scarf ring work with? A: It is ideal for the classic 90 cm carré. Depending on the knot and the thickness of your silk, it can also be styled with 70 cm and 45 cm formats. For narrow Twillys, a dedicated Twilly or mini scarf ring is usually the easiest option to thread and adjust.
Q: How do I thread a scarf through the ring without snagging it? A: Fold the scarf into a long bias band, then gently feed both ends through the ring. Avoid forcing bulky folds and ensure the ring’s surface is smooth before use so it glides over the silk without catching.
Q: Will a scarf ring damage my silk? A: A properly finished scarf ring is polished to be smooth and should not harm silk when used gently. Avoid rough edges, do not tug, and remove the ring if you feel resistance to prevent pulls or runs.
Q: What is the finish on this piece and how should I care for it? A: This ring has a gold‑tone plated finish. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear; if needed, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hand sanitiser and household cleaners, and store it separately in its dustbag to minimise scratches and premature wear of the plating.
Q: Is this ring made in Italy? A: Yes. Many Hermès scarf rings are produced in Italy, and this specific piece is listed as made in Italy in the product information.
Q: Can I use it with a Twilly? A: You can, but a Twilly‑specific or mini scarf ring is usually more secure and easier to adjust on such a narrow silk. If you use this ring with a Twilly, stick to slimmer folds and simple passes rather than bulky knots.
Q: How do I learn different ways to style it? A: Start with the bias fold and try simple styles like the lariat, single‑loop choker, or shoulder drape. Hermès’ knotting techniques translate well to using a ring and help you vary tension and drape for different scarf sizes.
Q: How should I assess authenticity for a Hermès scarf ring? A: Look for crisp, evenly spaced Hermès logo stamping, high‑quality finishing and consistent plating; many rings are stamped Made in Italy. Purchase from trusted specialists. At A Retro Tale, every item is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts before it is offered for sale.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: This item comes with a dustbag. Everything included is listed in the product information section.
Q: What is the condition like? A: Very good condition with light signs of use; the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches, as noted in the product information.
