Your pale CDCs are gorgeous. The H gods were truly smiling on you when you found them.
I have a rouge tomate CDC which matches a carnelian ring of mine and I really enjoy wearing the two together.
We are on the same hunt! I would love a lisse emerald green and Gris T to finish up. Although I am a goner for the pale colors, if I could SO gator vert d’eau and ciel I would never be able to turn them down.
Thank you, Eagle! I love carnelian, it must be a lovely combo. OT, but did you know the Met is opening a special jewelry exhibit soon? I thought of you.
It’s beautiful indeed but I am afraid its so prone to scratches. In terms of wear, do I really need to give it an extra care?
I have one in swift and is actually amazed on how durable it is.
Nice! I agree the silver CDC is a durable classy statement piece. But don't loose weight! Mine's now loose. So, I've been thinking about what I could stack it with to keep it in place. Probably a MM silver CDC bracelet. (There's a remedy for every H problem! More H!!!).I love, love, love
I have a modest collection:
Sanguine gator CDC PHW (will post pic later);
Graphite gator CDC PHW (will post pic later);
Sterling silver CDC.
My own little contribution for now: Hermès sterling silver CDC, size LG, picked up in Monte Carlo some time ago. It goes so well with my Piaget Possession ring. It is robust, heavy as a log and a first class statement piece. It also fits snug as it should do.
I will try to post some daylight pictures later on.
Thanks for letting me share.
Oh, and if somebody sees a white exotic (of any kind, don't even know if one exists) CDC with PHW, please let me know. I want that one to complete my small arm candy army.

YES! I do! Thank you for mentioning it, dharma! We were planning on going to NYC in late Nov after the exhibit opened. Plans changed. We may wait awhile to go b/c we are kicking around some other travel plans since I'll be retired soon (not soon enough!). Although I love NYC and haven't been there for a few years, I have to avoid temptation for right now.
Maybe a decade ago the Met had an exhibit on diamonds. I still remember seeing Elizabeth Taylor's Krupp diamond which was kind of lame close up. The guard said to stand back and then look. He was right, it was like a beacon across the room. The Met does a really good job on exhibits, food, book shop.
No extra care needed. My first CDC was black box with PHW and I purchased it almost 20 years ago. The leather is still beautiful and it’s my most worn. I don’t even remove them with frequent hand washing, I just dry any splashes right away.
I have a box Kelly, a decade old. Every time I think about getting it spa'd I think I would want to wear it in the interval so I hang on to it.
My point: it does show scratches. So, if you really really like CDC color I'd keep it. If you don't wear it everyday, it'll be fine. A bag gets shoved into a drawer at work, a CDC doesn't. Half the time you wear it it'll probably be covered by long sleeves (I'm guessing), which will protect it.
