Hermès Chaine d’Ancre GM Double Chain Bracelet 18K Gold and Silver
The Iconic Hermès Chaine d’Ancre Design in Two-Tone Gold and Silver
A striking symbol of French luxury and design heritage, the Hermès Chaine d’Ancre GM bracelet in 18K gold and sterling silver presents a bold, sculptural interpretation of the iconic maritime chain, elevated by its distinctive double link design.
The Hermès Chaine d’Ancre GM bracelet, often referred to as the iconic Hermès anchor chain bracelet, is one of the most celebrated creations of the maison, instantly recognizable for its anchor chain-inspired design. Rooted in nautical heritage, this timeless motif is transformed into a refined piece of high jewelry, balancing strength, structure, and elegance. In this example, the composition is made even more striking by its double link construction, which gives the bracelet added volume and a more dramatic visual rhythm.
This particular bracelet features the highly desirable GM (Grande Modèle) size, distinguished by its substantial weight and commanding presence on the wrist. The alternating double links in 18K gold (RG-18K) and sterling silver (AG-925) create a sophisticated two-tone effect, offering both versatility and visual depth. The contrast between the warm gold and cool silver enhances the architectural rhythm of the design.
The signature Hermès toggle clasp closure is seamlessly integrated, a defining element of the design that reinforces the bracelet’s clean, continuous flow. Every element reflects Hermès’ commitment to precision craftsmanship, where each link is carefully shaped, polished, and balanced for both comfort and durability.
More than a piece of jewelry, the Chaine d’Ancre bracelet represents a design icon of the 20th century, appreciated by collectors worldwide. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to remain both timeless and contemporary, making it equally suited for everyday wear or elevated occasions.

Why This Piece Stands Out
The Chaine d’Ancre bracelet is more than a signature Hermès design—it is a statement of refined taste and enduring craftsmanship. Its origins in maritime utility, reimagined through the lens of luxury, have secured its place as one of the most influential jewelry designs ever created. The two-tone variation adds a distinctive and contemporary edge to an already iconic piece.
A rare opportunity to acquire a true Hermès icon in a sophisticated two-tone composition.

How do I know a piece is authentic, and can I trust DSF?
Buying fine jewelry online takes trust, especially at this level. DSF Antique Jewelry is a New York–based dealer with over 50 years of fine jewelry expertise. Every piece is examined for authenticity and condition before it is listed — we assess hallmarks, maker's marks, metal content, gemstones, and construction consistent with the stated period or designer. For signed pieces such as Cartier, Buccellati, or Van Cleef & Arpels, we verify maker's marks and signatures. We're glad to send additional photographs of any hallmark, or speak with you directly, before you decide.
Why does antique gold look different, and is surface wear normal?
Antique pieces were often made in gold standards less common today, such as 15ct (used in Britain only between 1854 and 1932), 9ct, or higher-karat continental gold, which give a warmer tone than typical modern 14k. Light surface wear, softened edges, and a gentle patina are normal and expected on antique jewelry — they reflect the age and authenticity of the piece, not flaws. We describe the true condition of every item honestly in its listing.
What do the hallmarks and maker's marks mean?
Hallmarks are small stamped marks that identify the metal standard, and often the maker, assay office, and date. They are one of the best tools for authenticating antique jewelry. We identify and explain the marks we find on each piece in its description, and we're happy to send close-up photographs of any hallmark on request so you can see exactly what you're buying.
Can pieces be resized or adjusted?
It depends on the piece. Many antique rings can be resized, but bands with all-around engraving, thin shanks, or gemstones near the base may be limited in how far they can safely go, and some pieces are best left as-is to preserve their integrity. We list each item's measurements as they currently are. If you're unsure whether something can be safely adjusted, contact us before buying and we'll give you an honest assessment for that specific piece.
How should I care for and store fine jewelry?
Clean gently with a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and chlorine, and store pieces separately so they don't scratch one another. Remove rings and bracelets for heavy manual tasks. Antique gold is softer than modern alloys, so period pieces are best enjoyed with normal care. Treated well, fine antique jewelry lasts for generations — many of our pieces are already a century or more old and still beautiful.
