The Kelly rendered in woven gold. Designed by Pierre Hardy for Hermès Haute Bijouterie, the body of the miniature bag is constructed in cotte de mailles, chain mail woven from 18K white gold wire, a mesh that drapes and moves like fabric rather than holding rigid form.
The structural elements, the flap, top handle, and sangles, are solid 18K white gold set with 126 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.17 carats. The turn-lock closure functions and opens to a miniature interior. Suspended from an adjustable chain, the piece wears as a sautoir or choker, or detaches as a bag charm.
Styled with: Hermès Kellymorphose Sac Bijou Chaîne Sterling Silver by Pierre Hardy, sold separately.
Collector's Insight:
The white gold chain mail Kelly Bijou Précieux is a distinct execution from the rose gold version: woven gold wire replicating the suppleness of leather at miniature scale. Pierre Hardy's jewelry interpretations of Hermès bag silhouettes are produced in micro-batches through the Haute Bijouterie atelier, by specialized goldsmiths separate from both the leather ateliers and the standard jewelry line.
Resale Insight:
Hermès High Jewelry trades privately and appears infrequently at auction or on the secondary market. Demand spans jewelry collectors and Hermès collectors alike.
