Hermès Kelly 20 Blue Sapphire Crocodile Gold Hardware
Hermès Kelly 20 Blue Sapphire Crocodile Gold Hardware
The Hermès Kelly 20 in Blue Sapphire (*Bleu Saphir*) Crocodile is a rare and highly functional iteration of the "Mini Kelly" silhouette. Unlike the contemporary Mini Kelly II, which features a shorter, wider profile, this 20cm model (often referred to as the vintage Kelly 20 or "Sport") offers a taller architecture. This crucial difference in verticality allows the bag to accommodate a modern smartphone (such as an iPhone Plus or Max) alongside daily essentials, a utility often lacking in other miniature Hermès bags.
The exterior is crafted from Crocodile skin finished in *Bleu Saphir*, a deep, saturated navy that reads as a near-black ink tone in low light while revealing brilliant sapphire hues under direct illumination. The glossy "Lisse" finish amplifies the jewel tones of the scale pattern. Accented with Gold hardware, the warm metallic contrast underscores the classic elegance of the dark exotic skin. The bag features a shoulder strap with a 19-inch drop, allowing for comfortable crossbody or shoulder wear.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
This 20cm Kelly occupies a specific "Goldilocks" zone in Hermès collecting. While the modern Mini Kelly II (released in 2016) is purely decorative for many due to its inability to hold larger phones, this taller 20cm variant bridges the gap between the micro-bag aesthetic and genuine usability. Finding one in Blue Sapphire Crocodile;a "Legacy Color" paired with the maison's most prestigious skin;is exceptionally rare.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
The market for vintage and taller Kelly 20s has surged as collectors realize the practical limitations of the current Mini Kelly II. Investment-grade examples in exotic skins are scarce, as many vintage pieces show significant wear. A pristine example in a blue-chip color like Sapphire represents a stable asset that offers both the "Mini" look and functional capacity.

JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain is hand-knotted from up to 60 varieties of natural semi-precious stones strung between lobster-clasp hardware at each end. The clasp configuration attaches directly to the sangle hardware of Hermès bags and converts the bag to crossbody or shoulder wear. The chain also functions independently as a long necklace without a bag attached.
Documented stone varieties include amethyst, apatite, carnelian, citrine, emerald, labradorite, lemon quartz, peach moonstone, peridot, Peruvian opal, pink moonstone, prehnite, rose quartz, ruby, sunstone, and tourmaline. Each stone is individually hand-knotted between adjacent stones, securing the strand against bead loss in the event of any single break. Stones are sorted into four documented colorways: Rainbow, Natural, Turquoise, and Malachite. Exact stone composition within each colorway varies by piece due to the natural variation of the source materials.
Standard length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a crossbody drop appropriate for Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller, including the Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18 and 24, and Birkin 25. The chain can be doubled to produce a shorter shoulder drop or wrist-wrap carry, and worn as a standalone necklace at full length. Hardware (Gold or Palladium clasp) is selected at order.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
Material: Semi-Precious Stones, Hand-Knotted
Hardware: Gold or Palladium clasp (selected at order)
Colorways: Rainbow / Natural / Turquoise / Malachite
Recommended For: Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller (Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18, Constance 24, Birkin 25)
Production: Hand-knotted, 7-10 business days
Note: Each chain is unique. Stones fall within the selected colorway range; exact composition varies by piece.
Styling Notes:
The chain pairs with the full JaneFinds accessory chain collection for coordinated multi-chain layering. Standard wear is single-strand crossbody; doubling produces a shorter shoulder carry. The lobster-clasp configuration matches Hermès sangle hardware proportions and does not require additional adapters.

JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain converts top-handle carry of Hermès Kelly and Mini Kelly bags into crossbody or shoulder wear without altering the bag. Cuban link is a flat, twist-pattern chain construction: each link rotates 90 degrees relative to its neighbors and interlocks tightly, producing a chain that lays flush against the body rather than twisting or rolling at the strap line. The pattern is the standard reference for flat-laying chainwork and remains the most stable shoulder-strap chain construction for weighted top-handle bags.
Hardware finish is offered in Gold or Palladium to match Hermès hardware on the carrying bag. Each chain terminates in a lobster clasp at one end and a spring ring at the other, attaching directly to the Kelly's sangle D-rings without adapters. Two clip sizes are offered: Standard Clip for Kelly 25, 28, 32, and 35; Small Clip for Mini Kelly 20 II, Vintage Mini Kelly, and Mini Bolide. Link gauge is selected as Wide or Narrow at order; Wide produces a heavier, more visually present chain, Narrow a finer line.
Standard chain length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a standard crossbody drop for most Kelly sizes. The chain can be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or worn standalone as a necklace. Pairs with the JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain and other accessory chain collection pieces for layered styling.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
