"HERMES" 80’s-90’s equestrian-threaded scarf ring

Since its founding in 1837, Hermès has quietly elevated functional beauty rooted in horse tack making into jewelry and small items, and here we introduce a superb piece imbued with the density unique to old maison Hermès.

This piece features thick metal with careful plating, and the form of the nodes reminiscent of horse tack is impressive.

The reason for estimating the period as the 1980s to 1990s is primarily because the HERMES and MADE IN FRANCE stamps on the main body are physically engraved rather than laser-etched, with slight unevenness remaining on the bottom of the characters. Additionally, serial numbers or URLs found on current items are not visible on either the box or the main body, and the included box is of an older style that includes the address of FAUBOURG SAINT HONORE, which does not conform to standards after the 2000s, thus ensuring its authenticity.

The core of its form is a ring with four thread-like nodes, which are not just decorations but tactile elevations that you can feel on your fingertips, naturally drawing attention when worn. The nodes alternate between smooth curved surfaces and tight ridges, causing shadows and highlights to change with the angle of light, and despite its gold tone, it doesn't look monotonous.

The metal appears to be a dense brass base with plating, giving it a weighty feel unlike the lightweight constructions of modern pieces, providing a tangible sense of dignity. Fine hairline marks caused by aging are visible on the surface, which are more like a layer of luster created by time rather than scratches, allowing you to enjoy the deep richness typical of old Hermès.

Furthermore, this model is originally designed as a scarf ring, so its practical value lies in its ability to stabilize the knot when passing fabric through and to create a subtle fit that doesn't draw too much attention to the metal fittings. In other words, it combines the aesthetic beauty of jewelry with the rationality of a tool, and you can feel that HERMES continues to inherit the design philosophy derived from horse tack, all within a palm-sized form.

The fact that the included box remains in its original form from that time is also noteworthy, with the vintage carriage logo stamp on orange embossed paper in black ink and the wear on the corners indicating the passage of time, which directly enhances the persuasive power as a collection. While it is an accessory that stands alone, the complete background elevates the satisfaction of ownership, making it a superb item.

This ring is especially recommended for those who want to speak of luxury through material and form rather than excessive decoration, and it is a piece you should pick up if you want to quietly refine your everyday gestures. It resonates more with those who want to acquire a universal strength in design rather than novelty in fashion.

In terms of styling, adding a single piece to a cleanly structured outfit like a shirt or jacket brings a sense of tension derived from horse tack to your hands, and when paired with a coat or setup, the classic maison style naturally blends in. Additionally, if you use it to style scarves or stoles, it elevates the completeness of your outfit while maintaining a balanced look that isn't overdone, making it an accessory that can be cherished regardless of gender.

Take this opportunity without fail.
