Hermès Clou de Selle Gold-Tone Stick Pin Brooch Vintage (RRP £270)| Authentic Preloved

Hermès Clou de Selle Gold-Tone Stick Pin Brooch Vintage

This preloved Hermès Clou de Selle stick pin is one of the most quietly covetable pieces from the Bijouterie Fantaisie line. The circular disc head is modelled on the iconic Hermès Clou de Selle stud, with "HERMES PARIS" engraved around the circumference and a raised central dome, set on a slender gold-tone pin with a decorative barrel and ball stopper at the base. Simple, precise, and immediately recognisable to anyone who knows the house.

The reverse is stamped "HERMES PARIS / BIJOUTERIE FANTAISIE", confirming its place within Hermès's costume jewellery archive. It comes in its original vintage orange box printed with the Duc carriage and "FAUBOURG SAINT-HONORE / PARIS" in the older format, which places production in the pre-1990s era. A second hand Hermès piece with both original box and original tissue is increasingly rare to find.

The Clou de Selle motif is one of Hermès's most enduring design signatures, drawn from the brand's saddlery heritage and repeated across leather goods, jewellery, and scarves over the decades. On a stick pin, it becomes an understated but authoritative accent for scarves, lapels, or knitwear.

Used Hermès bijouterie at this price point is a genuine entry point into the house's accessory archive for those building a considered collection.

Condition

Excellent preloved condition for a vintage piece. The gold-tone finish to the disc and pin is bright and well-preserved with no visible tarnishing or significant scratching to the face. The pin is straight and functional. The original orange box shows light age-related wear to the edges and corners, consistent with its vintage provenance.

Authenticity

Every piece we sell is personally inspected before listing. We assess metal finish, engraving quality, stamp detail, construction, and provenance before offering any item for sale. This Hermès Clou de Selle stick pin is offered in good faith as authentic based on our thorough inspection of all available details, including correct reverse stamping and period-appropriate box.

Why We Love It

The Clou de Selle stud is one of those Hermès signatures that never dates. On a stick pin, it becomes the kind of detail that rewards the people who notice it, a quiet signal rather than a shout. Preloved Hermès jewellery from the Bijouterie Fantaisie line in this condition is genuinely hard to source, and pieces that come with original vintage boxes are rarer still. If you've been looking for second hand Hermès jewellery that works across seasons and occasions without trying too hard, this is the one.

Styling Notes

Pin it through the knot of a silk scarf for an effortlessly composed look, or wear it on a lapel as a single, considered accent. It sits beautifully on a cashmere rollneck or the brim of a felt hat. The warm gold tone works across all palettes but is particularly strong against camel, navy, ivory, and deep burgundy. Used Hermès bijouterie at this scale is easy to wear every day without feeling overdressed.
