Q: What is this Hermès Amulets Birkin necklace made of?
A: It is crafted in sterling silver (Ag 925). Hermès notes that its silver jewellery receives a fine silver finishing to enhance shine, and like all real silver it may naturally oxidise over time to a gentle patina that can be polished if preferred.

Q: What is the chain length and where will it sit on the neck?
A: The chain measures approximately 43 cm in perimeter, which typically sits around the collarbone on most wearers. It features a classic link chain with a bar-and-toggle clasp. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.

Q: Is the Birkin bag pendant removable from the chain?
A: No. On this model the pendant is attached with a fixed bail and is not designed to be removed or swapped onto a different chain.

Q: Is the length adjustable?
A: The necklace is designed to be worn at a fixed length using the toggle at the end ring, so it is not adjustable.

Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I care for it?
A: Yes—sterling silver naturally oxidises. Regular wear actually slows oxidation. Wipe with a soft, non‑abrasive polishing cloth after use, keep away from perfume, lotions, chlorinated or salt water, and store in a dry pouch. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water with a little mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemical dips and abrasives.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on this piece?
A: Hermès sterling silver pieces typically carry the Hermès maker’s mark and a 925/Ag925 purity stamp, often with “Made in France”. Exact placement and style can vary by production run.

Q: How big is the pendant motif?
A: The Birkin motif is approximately 1.3 cm wide and about 0.5 cm in depth. Please see Measurements for all available dimensions.

Q: Is this necklace suitable for everyday wear and is it unisex?
A: Yes. The understated Birkin motif and mid-length chain make it easy to wear daily and suitable for all genders. As with any fine jewellery, remove before swimming, showering or strenuous sport to minimise wear.

Q: What accessories are included with this item?
A: This listing is sold without accessories. If a box or pouch were included, it would be stated under Accessories on this page.
