Delivery & Returns
Q: What does Clou de Selle mean? A: Clou de Selle refers to Hermès’ iconic saddle-stud motif, a signature detail rooted in the house’s equestrian heritage. On this brooch, it gives the slim pin design a distinctly recognisable Hermès look.
Q: What is this brooch made from? A: This vintage brooch is crafted in gold-tone metal and features a pin closure. The finish has a polished look with light surface scratches consistent with careful prior use.
Q: What size is it? A: It measures approximately 6.5 cm in height, 1.5 cm in width and 0.5 cm in depth. That makes it a slender statement brooch that is easy to style on lapels, scarves and knitwear without feeling overly bulky.
Q: How can I wear a pin brooch like this? A: It works especially well on a blazer lapel, coat collar, scarf, knitwear, hat or the shoulder of a dress. This elongated style can also be used decoratively to gather a scarf or add a refined accent to structured outerwear.
Q: Will it mark delicate fabrics? A: Like any traditional pin brooch, it can leave a tiny hole in very delicate materials such as silk, chiffon or fine knitwear. For the safest wear, pin it through sturdier areas such as lapels, seams or thicker scarves, and avoid forcing it through fragile fabrics.
Q: What condition is this piece in? A: The overall condition is Very Good, with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is typical for a vintage metal brooch that has been gently worn.
Q: What is included with the item? A: According to the product information, this piece comes with a box. If you would like to confirm packaging details before purchase, our team can help.
Q: How should I care for it? A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear and store it in its box in a dry place away from heat and humidity. To help preserve the finish, avoid water, perfume, lotions and knocks against hard surfaces, and remove it before sport or sleep.
Q: How do you authenticate vintage Hermès jewellery? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by specialists through a multi-point authentication process that considers details such as construction, finish, hardware, markings and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
