Always a fan of Hermes Horn jewellery - this is my current collection.
3 Deva Necklaces, a mixture of Lift and other pendants (actually one missing I realised after taking photos) and Eurydice necklace.View attachment 5855051
Great collection...a bit of horn fiend myself. I've had the Eurydice collection pinned to my wish list because it is indeed rare to see horn coupled with a gold tone (permabrass but tomato / tomahto), and they have so many different option...your picture has give me some impetus to go look at some pieces IRL. I'm particularly fond of the Eurydice short necklace:

Thank you.
This is really lovely
 
Recent discovery! :smile: So fun to realize that my beloved Animaux Camoufles Parrot pendant so nicely complements my Clair de Lune CSGM in camel/blanc.

This is a LOVELY match! I am so sad to have missed out on this pendant. The white etching on the horn is incredible artwork. Thank you for posting yours matched with CdL. I will enjoy looking at this beautiful photo!

Thank you! :flowers: I've been neglecting my horn pieces. I pulled them all out recently to reacquaint myself! I was thinking that your horn collection would look beautiful with your caramel Charme d'Orphee CSGM.
I've been doing the same. There is a pair of earrings that are my allround go tos but outside of those, my horn has been lingering away in a drawer. Your post has inspired me to pull those pieces out and combine them with my camel Clair (we're twins on this one!). The caramel Orphee would also be great but has been on repeat since it has arrived, so time to give another CSGM a chance. ;)

Dear Ladybaga, so sorry to hear you missed out on these. They were offered mid-pandemic, and it seems, in such small quantities. I would have loved to have bought the zebra, as well. If julian.f hadn't kindly told us about them here, I likely would never have seen them. I agree about the artistry! All the horn pieces are so beautiful. They were among the first things I fell in love with at Hermes along with the scarves. So glad you like the photo! :flowers:

So fun, julian.f, to pull-out old favorites that have been slumbering in cabinets and drawers. Especially fun when they pair so well with new things! It's a funny little thrill that only my friends here understand! :biggrin: I didn't remember that you have the carmel Clair, yay! Did you eventually find an Animaux pendant? I wish they'd offer more of this particular etched style (and/or more horn pieces in general). They feel beautifully timeless to me, and I particularly love when Hermes supports craftspeople producing such lovely, unique items.

I found the entire collection of pendants at the London Bond Street location...it was as if they were hoarding everything H ever made on the day I visited in October 2021. The sad part? As much as I loved these pendants, they somehow didn't work for me; I tried one after another. It's ironic, after discovering them and all the work I had put in hunting them down convinced they were perfect for me. They are stunning but, as you know, either something clicks or it doesn't. And it didn't. I even had a enabler with me that shook her head. So, as you said about some CSGMs, I'll have to admire it from afar. Pity. But great to see it again, it's as stunning as it ever was.

On another note, I'm really liking the Ecuyere collection. I'm a fan of mid-century design and these really align well with that aesthetic.

The pricing is a bit bonkers, however. They're all horn and permabrass...they do look quite robust. But the pendant is €800 and the earrings €1000 ... and the collar necklace is €3400 :shocked:. I may still try them on, though...
