Why is the Hermès Collier de Chien ring a jewellery must-have?
Among the emblematic creations from Hermès, the ring Dog Collar occupies a singular place. Inspired by the world of equestrianism, saddlery and collars for molosses in the 19th century, it embodies the power of design. Hermès and a bold aesthetic that is instantly recognisable. As an expert in the jewellery of the great houses, let's take a look at the history and specific features of this model with a strong identity.
A design inspired by Hermès saddlery
The "Dog Collar" motif appeared for the first time at Hermès in 1927, not as a piece of jewellery, but as a belt. Originally commissioned for a client who was a greyhound enthusiast, this original piece - embellished with pyramid studs and a central ring - quickly became a fashion accessory in its own right. Building on its success, Hermès adapted the design as a bracelet in the 1940s, before offering a more compact jewellery version: the Dog Collar ring.
A sculptural, assertive style
The ring Dog Collar Hermès has taken up the visual codes of the iconic bracelet: pyramidal studs (known as "Médor studs") and a mobile central ring. This architectural structure makes it a statement piece of jewellery, more than just a simple accessory. Crafted in yellow, white or pink gold, and sometimes paved with diamonds, the ring captivates with its graphic allure and strong presence on the finger.
This piece makes no attempt to be discreet; it boasts a strong, almost avant-garde aesthetic, while retaining the refined elegance characteristic of Hermès. Worn on its own or in an accumulation, it asserts a bold style, somewhere between luxury and contemporary spirit.
An icon reinterpreted over time
Over the years, Hermès has offered several variations of its Collier de Chien ring:
In solid gold, for a sculptural jewel effect.
Set with diamonds or precious stones, for a contrast of strength and sparkle.
In miniature or slimmer versions, suitable for everyday wear.
This ability to reinterpret a historic motif without distorting it is a testament to the creative genius of Hermès, which anchors its creations in heritage while inscribing them in the modern world.
Like many iconic jewels HermèsThe Collier de Chien ring is particularly popular on the second-hand market. Its craftsmanship, the quality of its materials and its distinctive design make it timeless. Many collectors are looking for vintage editions or particularly rare models in unpaved 18-carat gold.
