Q: What is the Hermès Chaîne d’Ancre design inspired by?
A: The Chaîne d’Ancre takes its name and shape from a ship’s anchor chain. First conceived in the late 1930s by Robert Dumas, it has become one of Hermès’ most recognisable, enduring jewellery motifs.

Q: Is this bracelet solid sterling silver?
A: Yes. Hermès Chaîne d’Ancre bracelets are crafted in sterling silver (Ag 925), not silver‑plated. Sterling silver will naturally oxidise over time, which can be managed with regular, gentle care.

Q: Will it tarnish and how should I clean it?
A: Sterling silver can darken with exposure to air, moisture, lotions and perfumes. Wearing it often actually slows oxidation. For routine care, wash briefly with mild soap and lukewarm water, dry thoroughly, then buff with a non‑abrasive silver polishing cloth. Avoid harsh dips or abrasive pastes, and remove before swimming, bathing, gym sessions or applying fragrance. Store it clean and dry in a soft, anti‑tarnish pouch.

Q: How does the sizing and fit work for this open cuff?
A: This piece has an inner perimeter of approximately 15 cm with a width of about 1.0 cm. An open cuff should sit close to the wrist with a small gap at the wrist bone so it doesn’t rotate. Compare your snug wrist measurement to the inner perimeter for the best match. If between sizes, many prefer the slightly larger option for comfort and ease of putting on.

Q: Can the cuff be adjusted or resized?
A: Only very slight, one‑time adjustments by a professional are advisable. Repeated bending can stress sterling silver and lead to deformation over time. Major resizing options for solid silver cuffs are limited; for any fit concerns, consult a trusted jeweller or the brand’s after‑sales service.

Q: Is the Chaîne d’Ancre cuff unisex?
A: Yes. Its clean, nautical lines and balanced proportions make it a timeless unisex design that can be styled for any wardrobe.

Q: What hallmarks should I expect to see on an authentic piece?
A: Genuine Hermès silver jewellery typically bears the Hermès signature and a 925/Ag925 fineness mark. Additional workshop and country‑of‑origin stamps vary by era and production, so placement and style of hallmarks can differ between pieces.

Q: Can I wear it every day and in water?
A: Daily wear is fine. Brief contact with fresh water is usually not an issue, but chlorinated pools, hot tubs, seawater and heavy perspiration can accelerate tarnish—remove the bracelet beforehand and dry it promptly if it gets wet.

Q: Does this item include the original box or accessories?
A: This listing is sold as shown with no accessories. Everything included with the item is always stated under the Accessories section on this page.

Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bracelet?
A: Every item is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, weight, finishing, hallmarks and signatures. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional images or details on request.
