Kelly of Hermès : The iconic bag reinvented in Jewelry

The jewelry collection Kelly of Hermès embodies the meeting between the iconic bag Kelly and the art of fine jewelry, reinterpreting the codes of the legendary bag through precious, refined and resolutely contemporary creations that enhance the skin and the body.

Origins and inspirations of jewelry Kelly : a heritage reinvented by Hermès

The bag Kelly, designed in the 1930s by Robert Dumas and immortalized in the 1950s by Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, has become a symbol of elegance and craftsmanship. These are the distinctive elements of the bag — its trapezoidal silhouette, its clasp, its padlock and its bell — which serve as a common thread for the jewelry collection Kelly, imagined by Pierre Hardy, director of jewelry creation at Hermès since 2001.

The jewelry collection Kelly is a celebration of heritage Hermès, capable of bringing tradition and innovation into dialogue. It seduces with its ability to transform a mythical object into adornments that are at once playful, sophisticated and highly desirable, while remaining faithful to the spirit of exclusivity and excellence of the maison.

Iconic lines and pieces of Hermès Kelly

The jewelry Kelly are made of rose gold, white gold or silver massive, and some models are sumptuously set with baguette-cut diamonds or black spinels. Hermès favors the use of recycled materials for gold andsilver, respecting artisanal excellence and contemporary ethics.

The collection Kellymorphose is the most representative of this metamorphosis of the bag into jewelry. It declines the attributes of the Kelly in necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings and even body jewelry, playing on audacity and delicacy.

• Alphakelly : First notes in silver recycled, combining the anchor chain signature on the padlock Kelly, available as a double ring, bracelet, choker and necklace.
  

• Kelly Chaîne : Lines in recycled rose gold, adorned with diamond-paved clasps, single or double bracelets, chokers and body jewelry.
  

• Kelly Clochette : Sets of padlocks, keys and bells, bracelets and double rings connected by a delicate chain, modular necklaces, in white gold or rose gold set with diamonds.
  

• Precious Kelly : Adjustable necklaces in rose gold or silver, with mini bag Kelly as a pendant, a playful and precious nod to the icon.
  

• Kelly Gavroche : Tribute to the square Hermès, necklace where the scarf merges with the strap Kelly, fully paved with baguette and round diamonds (over 1,700 diamonds for the center piece).
  

• Kelly Baguette : Rose or white gold, baguette-cut white diamonds or black spinels, rings, multi-strand bracelets and elegant chokers.

• O'Kelly : goes further in the transformation game, by making the padlock Kelly a central motif of pendants, earrings and bracelets, sometimes associated with colored leather, a nod to the leather goods origins of the maison. The details, like the clou de selle on the back of the earrings, recall the meticulousness and identity Hermès.

Each piece of jewelry includes one or more elements of the bag: the clasp, the padlock, the trapezoid shape or the bell, thus offering a jeweled reading of the myth Kelly. Hermès has also developed a line of watches inspired by the same bag, using the famous padlock to display the time.
