HERMÈS REDEFINES HIGH JEWELRY WITH DESIGNER PIERRE HARDY’S H NECKLACE, TRANSFORMING LIGHT AND EMOTION INTO WEARABLE ART.

In the world of haute joaillerie, Hermès is no stranger to defying convention with quiet confidence. The house’s latest unveiling, the limited-edition H Necklace, is a masterstroke in rose gold, diamonds, and green tourmalines—each element chosen with exquisite precision. Priced at $521,100, the piece is part of a continued exploration of form and color under the direction of Pierre Hardy, creative director of Hermès Jewelry.

“This collection expresses color in shapes,” Hardy says. “I wanted to find a way to express this fundamental phenomenon—of color, at Hermès—and build a strong, autonomous and independent identity.”

More sculpture than ornament, the H Necklace plays with perspective and proportion. Hardy’s vision translates into bold silhouettes softened by organic hues, a dialogue between technical mastery and poetic gesture.

The green tourmalines shimmer like captured light, while the diamonds offer structure and sparkle without excess.

At once intellectual and intimate, the necklace is an exploration of how color activates the senses—how it can be both seen and felt. It’s high jewelry with high concept, yet grounded in emotion and the brand’s storied craftsmanship. With this collection, Hermès continues to expand the language of luxury—elegant yet unafraid, anchored in heritage and unafraid of the future.
