“HERMES” 2010’s Fetiche horseshoe charm scarf ring

Founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès, Hermès has maintained consistent craftsmanship and aesthetic standards from its roots as a leather goods and equestrian workshop to its silk and jewelry products. Here, we introduce a modern reinterpretation of motifs that symbolize the brand's origins.

This exquisite piece embodies Hermès' iconic equestrian culture as modern jewelry.

First, what catches the eye is the substantial metal ring made of a wide cylinder shape. Its mirror-polished surface emits a soft shine with every light, instantly evoking Hermès' meticulous craftsmanship. The top and bottom of the ring feature a debossed design mimicking saddle stitching, symbolizing Hermès' traditional sewing techniques cultivated in its equestrian workshop—an imaginative detail that expresses the appearance of hand-stitched leather with metal.

This ring also features a movable horseshoe charm, a symbol long associated with good luck. It adds a subtle meaning to the outfit beyond just being an accessory. The charm bears the HERMÈS engraving and the word PARIS, subtly conveying the brand's identity. Its gentle movement creates a natural rhythm in the overall look.

The scarf ring is an accessory deeply connected to Hermès' silk culture. It combines practicality—creating beautiful drapes when securing scarves around the neck—and decorative appeal similar to jewelry. This particular ring has a wide structure, providing stability when threading a silk scarf and allowing the fabric to flow beautifully while maintaining a three-dimensional form.

Regarding the era, the address and phone number on the accompanying shop card match the system used after Hermès GINZA moved to its current location in 2001. Additionally, the Fétiche series accessories emphasizing saddle stitch design were developed from the late 2000s to the 2010s. The precision of the engravings and metalwork, which now reflect the high-quality craftsmanship of recent fine engraving techniques, suggests that this piece is likely from around 2010 to 2018. The convergence of these objective factors makes this a highly credible estimate of its age.

What makes Hermès unique is how it subtly expresses its roots in equestrian culture through silk accessories. Despite their simple metal rings, they quietly tell the story of the brand's background and craftsmanship. While having the presence of jewelry, they are also practical, making them easy to incorporate into everyday outfits—another attractive feature.

For styling, we recommend an elegant look by threading Hermès silk scarves through the collar of shirts or jackets and securing them with rings. Additionally, pairing scarves with simple blouses or minimal dresses adds a subtle yet sophisticated accent. Furthermore, combining scarves with coat collars or light tops allows you to enjoy a genderless and refined style—truly a remarkable piece.

Take this opportunity.
