[emoji615]️ WARNING PICTURE OVERLOAD!
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted my updated Hermès jewelry. I was wearing my d’ancre twist while taking the family picture but I’ve included pictures to show it. Please realize some of these pictures are just to show the jewelry in comparison. I don’t wear it all at once! Lol I hope you guys enjoy the overboard images[emoji4]

WOWZA!!! Love all your action pics! You look stunning in sliver!!!!
Looks fantastic on you --- streamlined designs look so elegant on you! What a fab collection!
Condolences about the kelly charm bracelet. As a fellow H silver lover, I do feel your pain.Hi im considering to get this bracelet too but I am concerned if it might drop out easily as the opening seems quite large. Can you share if there has been any problems so far? thanks!
P.S. I am kinda worried as my Kelly charm bracelet somehow broke and I lost it after wearing it just for a few months
I am nervous about cuff bracelets falling off. I have the Cythere cuff -- here's picture of the ring (courtesy ebay) so you can get an idea of the cuff:
Being a bit of a beader, I was able to make a safety chain from 2 wide lobster claw clasps (big enough to go around the bottom rim of each end of the cuff) with silver chain in the middle. This is my safety chain. It's not exactly inconspicuous compared with the tiny ones jewelers attach to bracelets, but it's enough to hold the cuff on when it's prone to slip off my wrist, like when it's raining or a really hot day, or I'm taking off a coat. It also makes the cuff look a bit fussy compared to the streamlined look with no chain. But the bracelet is heavy so I wear it with the chain. (I'm at the WTH stage of life
).
The other ring looks really unusual, like the stone has a lot of different colors. . . . It's really pretty . . .
Congrats ! I love this design so much that I brought the Enchainee bracelet last week.

what a cool idea! I still took the plunge and bought the Chain d'Ancre bangle in the end... after my SA showed how I can try to close the opening as the silver is quite "malleable". I haven't had the chance to wear it out yet but I do hope I don't encounter the same tragedy of losing it again...
Someone may have already mentioned this but if you push a cuff open and closed, after doing that for oh, say a year, you might want to take it to a jeweler and get the bracelet annealed. I took a silver class and it was explained that opening and closing a cuff does something called "work hardening". Work hardening has something to do with the bracelet becoming brittle at the stress point where it is opening or closed. If the jeweler anneals it, he is heating it so that the silver molecules become evenly distributed through the cuff. It makes the cuff springy and it opens and closes like a dream. I had a Lois Hill cuff annealed and it was really easy to open and close, the heating had eliminated the work hardening from my opening it and then squeezing it shut on my wrist. This is not to say that your cuff will break if it's not annealed every now and then. I'm not saying that. Annealing keeps the silver flexible and it's not an expensive procedure.
what is the name of the silver bracelet with the big loop that is resting on top of your black handbag? I don't recall every seeing that one and I might consider getting it. It looks splendid on you.
