This 18-carat rose gold necklace from the Clou d’H collection is designed with interlocking links interspersed with solid gold elements in varying sizes.. The Clou d’H — or “H nail” — takes its form from a farrier’s nail, a subtle reference to Hermès’ origins as a harness and saddle maker in 19th-century Paris. The motif reflects the craftsmanship and timeless elegance that have long defined the house.

Hermès introduced the Clou d’H design in the 1970s, drawing on its equestrian past. The first jewels in this series appeared as cufflinks and bracelets in gold and silver, and over time the collection expanded to include necklaces, rings, and earrings. The design remained part of Hermès' repertoire through the 1980s and 1990s, and even today it is reinterpreted in new materials and finishes.
