Q: Where was this necklace made?
A: This necklace was made in France, as stated in the product information.

Q: Does the necklace come with a box or pouch?

Q: Can I wear this necklace in the shower or while swimming?
A: It is best to remove it before showering or swimming to help protect its finish and cord. As a general jewellery-care precaution, avoid moisture, chlorinated water and salt water.

Q: How should I clean the lacquered necklace?
A: Gently wipe surface dust and fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth, using light pressure. As the exact materials and finish are not fully specified, avoid soaking it or using abrasive polish or chemical cleaners. Ask Hermès for advice before attempting deeper cleaning or scratch removal.

Q: Can perfume or cosmetics affect the finish?
A: Avoid direct contact with perfume, cosmetics and lotions. Apply these before putting on the necklace and allow them to dry first, following Hermès' general jewellery-care guidance.

Q: How should I store the necklace?
A: Store it separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewellery compartment, away from humidity and intense heat. Keep it from rubbing against other pieces to help prevent further scratches. A storage pouch is not included with this item.
