Marker: Gaëtan de Percin Date: 1940-50s Country: France Material: Silver 950 ~Gaëtan de Percin~ He established himself as a goldsmith in Paris in 1919 and founded his own workshop in 1938. In the same year, at the request of Robert Dumas Hermes, the fourth-generation of Hermes, he created Hermes' first silver jewelry, "Chaine d'Ancre." After that, the Percin family produced numerous jewelry pieces for Hermes in gold and silver, including necklaces, cufflinks, key rings, and money clips. In addition to Hermes, they also created jewelry for renowned maisons such as Cartier, Tiffany, CHANEL, Dior, CELINE, and Van Cleef & Arpels before ceasing operations in 2003. The mark <G(cross)P> indicating Gaëtan de Percin and the Minerva hallmark can be confirmed. The Minerva hallmark, used since 1838, indicates silver of 950 or higher purity and represents the prestigious silver quality in France. Total Length: 19.5cm Inner Circumference: 16.8cm Maximum Width: 1.7cm Weight: 86.4g With a design reminiscent of Audierne, Douarnenez, Torsade, and Chaine d'Ancre, this is truly a special bracelet unique to Gaëtan de Percin, who has been creating Hermes jewelry for many years. It features a marine motif inspired by marine hardware such as fishing port anchors, anchor chains, ropes, and shackles. The design, weight, and quality are such that it would command an even higher price if it had the Hermes hallmark.
