mine is called the small model so I don’t think they make it any smaller in silver. The large model is actually with the horse head facing your finger tip. I know they make the smaller size in gold though, I think someone posted a mod picture of that in the fine jewelry thread.

Thanks for providing the information.
I wish they make a smaller model in silver as I am worried that the small model might be a bit heavy.
Will definitely look into the fine jewelry thread.
In my experience, it does tarnish fairly quickly but a simple swipe of a polishing clothe leaves it looking like new.
Hi everyone!!!! Does anyone have Sterling silver bracelets from Hermes? Do they tarnish pretty badly? I don’t wear my jewelry 24/7, I don’t wear perfume with it and no showering. I wear them once in a while and I put it away. So I want to check if I can keep it from tarnishing. Thank you
The leather CDC shrunk. The silver is also smaller but so far as I can see the full size sterling CDC is still available. The latter stacks nicely with the narrow silver CDC you pictured. I have no complaint about the silver. It's the leather CDC's getting smaller. Does that mean that the full size leather CDCs are passe?
Curiously, today I noticed that the full size leather CDC on H.com was studded even more than usual (may have to paste link in browser). Of course, price went up accordingly, but it's a new, great look to me. The leather CDCs in colors other than etoupe were all studded in silver, but not with the extra bells and whistles of the etoupe cw.

I have some H bracelets that are maybe 15 years old, thereabouts. They don't tarnish like non-H silver. A quick buff with a polishing cloth, as Ajaxbreaker suggested, brightens up the silver but I never see tarnish per se on these oldies but goodies. Tarnish to me is dark, a gray to black residue that, if deliberately induced thru a chemical application called "antiquing" is often used to highlight the artistic workmanship of the jewelry. Such jewelry usually has a more complex design -- something like flowers and leaves -- than H jewelry does.

If it's H silver, it does not blacken over time. It brightens from buffing with a polishing cloth from time to time but there's no need to rigorously polish the jewelry with a cloth.

I have 3 Chaine d'Ancre silver bracelets many years old and they have never tarnished.
I have a few silver bracelets and 2 silver necklaces from H. Only one piece tarnished quite a bit after very little use. I am sure it will clean up nicely once I decide to do that. H silver is among the most beautiful silver IMHO.
Does anyone have trouble with the large model of the Alphakelly bracelet staying clasped? I love wearing it but several times the lock/clasp has come unlocked while I've been wearing it. Fortunately, I've felt it unlock before I've lost it. Just curious if anyone else has the issue and if there are any tricks to keeping it locked.
That's good advice, getting an experienced SA. When I was getting mine I had trouble getting it off and asked the SA for help and she really didn't want to be bothered. But I didn't want to buy something I couldn't get off!
