Hermès Kelly Bijou "Précieux" 18K Rose Gold & Diamond Chain Mail Necklace

The Hermès Kelly Bijou "Précieux" is a testament to the technical virtuosity of the maison's "Haute Bijouterie" workshops. Designed by Pierre Hardy, this piece reinterprets the Kelly silhouette not as a rigid miniature, but as a fluid, tactile object constructed from **18K Rose Gold Chain Mail (Cotte de Mailles)**. The body is woven from fine gold wire, creating a mesh that collapses and drapes like silk, defying the hardness of the metal.

Contrast is achieved through the rigid structural elements: the top handle, flap, and sangles are cast in solid 18K Rose Gold and hand-set with **132 diamonds** (totaling approximately **1.64 carats**). The setting includes **130 round brilliant-cut diamonds** along the hardware and **2 larger brilliant-cut diamonds** accenting the closure. Fully functional, the turn-lock opens to a petite interior. Suspended from an adjustable sautoir chain with a toggle clasp, it can be worn as a statement necklace or repurposed as a bag charm, offering versatility unique to this high-jewelry line.

JaneFinds Collector’s Insight:
The "Précieux" line represents the highest tier of Hermès "wearable objects." Unlike the Sterling Silver "Sac Bijou," the Rose Gold variation is significantly rarer and features the added complexity of diamond setting on the functional components. It appeals to collectors who value the intersection of textile techniques (weaving) applied to precious metals.

JaneFinds Market Insight:
Hermès High Jewelry is a stable, long-term asset class. The Rose Gold Kelly Bijou benefits from the current market preference for pink gold tones in fine jewelry. Because these pieces are produced in micro-batches and require specialized goldsmiths distinct from the leather artisans, supply is permanently constrained, supporting strong secondary market valuations.
