Hermès Long Necklace

The Hermès long necklace — known internally as a sautoir — is the maison's signature long-form chain, perfect worn alone or doubled. Born from the lineage of Robert Dumas chains and equestrian graphics, it comes in solid silver, vermeil, or 18-karat gold. On JoliCloset, pre-owned Hermès long necklaces are rare pieces — the maison produces relatively few.

Iconic models

The Chaîne d'Ancre Sautoir in solid silver (TGM, GM, MM) revisits the emblematic chain by Robert Dumas (1938) at 80 to 100 cm. The Galop and H d'Ancre sautoirs offer varying lengths and finishes. Rarer: 18-karat gold sautoirs, sometimes set with lacquered enamel or stones. Seasonal editions include leather-braid sautoirs inspired by saddlery.

Materials and lengths

925 sterling silver, vermeil (gold-plated silver), 18-karat gold. Common lengths: 80, 90, 100 cm — wearable as a double or single loop. The Chaîne d'Ancre Sautoir is traditionally worn double, its solid links giving it long-necklace presence with chain weight.
