Vintage Hermes Enamel Bangle PM

Vintage Hermes Enamel Bangle PM

Used💍 Jewellery · Victorian–1980s

The edit · Jewellery

A used piece of jewellery in enamel. Nothing on a vintage jewellery tray was designed by committee. Chunky chains and carved cameos share the same handmade quality that modern production cannot copy.

Two centuries of saddle stitching.

Founded in 1837 in Paris as a harness maker for the carriage trade. The house moved into leather goods and silk, and its Birkin and Kelly bags became the most famous handbags in the world.

Hermes holds value like almost nothing else in fashion. A well-kept vintage Birkin or Kelly is essentially a currency, and even the silk carres appreciate when the design is right.

What to look for

Blind stamps, date stamps and the maker's mark inside the bag. Hand-stitched seams with a slight saddle-stitch slant are the tell of the real thing.

Hallmarks tell the story. A clear maker's mark or metal stamp is worth more than a pretty setting, so turn the piece over before you fall for it.

How to wear it

One heavy piece beats three delicate ones. Mix gold with silver deliberately, and pin a brooch to a lapel slightly higher than feels natural.
