With a bold new take on its iconic Chaîne d’ancre, Hermès introduces a high jewelry collection by creative director Pierre Hardy, who describes the pieces as “accumulating, merging and fluidifying” from an archetypal form. The collection transforms the classic chain into a sculptural, high-impact motif where the clasp takes center stage and the link becomes a powerful design element. Crafted in white or rose gold, the pieces feature black spinels, blue sapphires, pavé-set diamonds, and standout center stones. In fact, the Chaîne d’ancre evolves with dramatic contrasts – light or bold, minimalist or intricate. Hardy experiments with scale, form, and fluidity: links are rounded, lengthened, or interlaced; rows are isolated or multiplied. The chain appears as ear cuffs, minaudières, and double rings, worn with irreverence and elegance.
The collection includes standout pieces like the Chaîne d’ancre Punk rings, Calypso bracelet, Danaé necklace, and Sac bijou, staying true to Hermès’ daring, equestrian spirit with a thoroughly modern twist.
