Hermès Kelly Bijou Précieux 18K Rose Gold Diamond Chain Mail Necklace The Kelly silhouette translated into high jewelry. Designed by Pierre Hardy for Hermès Haute Bijouterie, the Kelly Bijou Précieux constructs the iconic bag form from 18K Rose Gold chain mail;Cotte de Mailles, a mesh of interlocking gold wire that drapes and collapses like fabric rather than holding rigid structure. The body moves; the hardware doesn't. The rigid elements;handle, flap, sangles, turnlock plate;are cast in solid 18K Rose Gold and set with 132 diamonds totaling approximately 1.64 carats. 130 round brilliant-cut stones line the hardware components; two larger brilliant-cut diamonds accent the closure. VS1 clarity, G color. The turnlock functions; the bag opens to a small interior. Suspended from an adjustable sautoir chain with toggle clasp. Wearable as necklace or bag charm. Condition: 1 – PristineYear: 2023Material: 18K Rose Gold (Au 750)Gemstones: 132 Diamonds, approx. 1.64 ct total (VS1/G)Dimensions: 4 × 3 × 1.5 cm | 1.6" W × 1.2" H × 0.6" D JaneFinds Collector's Insight:The Précieux line sits above the Sterling Silver Kelly Bijou;Rose Gold construction with diamond setting versus silver without stones. The chain mail technique applies textile logic to precious metal; each link is individually formed and interlocked. Pierre Hardy's design makes the bag functional at miniature scale while the materials place it firmly in fine jewelry territory. JaneFinds Market Insight:Hermès high jewelry operates on different production logic than leather goods;specialized goldsmiths, micro-batch quantities, multi-month lead times. Rose Gold with diamonds represents the top tier of the Kelly Bijou range. These pieces trade as jewelry rather than accessories, with valuations tied to precious metal content, diamond quality, and Hermès provenance. 👜 JaneFinds Condition Guide⛓️ Accessory Chains
