Hermès Chaîne d'Ancre jewellery
The story of Hermes Anchor Chain jewels began between 1931 and 1938. In 1937, Mr. Dumas, a true lover of the seashore, drew a sketch of the impressive boat chain - an anchor chain. Out of this drawing came the idea of an Anchor Chain clasp, an elegant mixture of ingenuity and refinement.
Today, it is one of the House's jewel icons. Hermes Anchor Chain jewels adorn rings, bracelets, necklaces and cufflinks. The marine pattern reveals itself as a timeless and androgynous accessory.
Just as emblematic as the cavalier boot, Hermes Anchor Chain jewels take us on a trip through their extreme simplicity, evoking the refinement and elegance of the great trans-Atlantic liners, ready to raise the anchor for a cruise to the other side of the world.
