A vintage 18K gold ring of two twisted strands, held at intervals by smooth gold collars, one of which carries the maker's name.
The Piece
Hermès began in Paris in 1837 as a harness workshop, and its jewellery has long drawn on the metalwork of the saddle room.
Two ropes of twisted gold, some strands darkened with age, run side by side and are held by plain collars. The maker's name and the gold mark are stamped on the collars.
It is Japanese size 11, up to 0.77 cm (0.3 in) wide, and weighs 7.2 g (0.25 oz). The band cannot be resized.

Authenticity & Care
Season stamps, plate engravings, clasps and plating are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Keep it boxed or in a soft pouch away from perfume and hairspray, and wipe with a soft dry cloth only; never use metal polish on plated finishes.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Japanese ring numbers follow their own scale, a little apart from US, UK and EU sizes, and a wide band wears smaller than a slender one. Compare with a ring that already fits the finger you have in mind and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our ring size chart sets each Japanese number beside its US, UK and EU equivalent, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
