i have been wearing my hermes cdc bracelet for about one and a half
years now and i will share all the price details and wear and tear pros and cons everything that
you need to know about this bracelet and in the end i will talk about if i think it's worth it
after 1.5 years leave me a comment down below to let me know what do you think of my bracelet or
if you have any questions let's get right into the video i want to show you first when i bought this
um cdc bracelet it comes in a orange box like this and it's basically typical a Hermes fine
jewelry packaging and then there's a black box inside and it also said or Hermes here this is
how the inside of the box looks like and then when you open it there's a pouch in there my hermes
Collier de Chien bracelet is in the rose gold and it's in the signature a Hermes dog collar
design the bracelet itself is in the oval shape it has the two pyramids studs this is the one side
how the bracelet looks like the other side what it says is au750 and hermes made in france and
then the serial number of the bracelet and also it shows you the size mine is in the short size
this is how you open this bracelet you basically squeeze the bracelet push this part in and then
you turn this top part a little bit and it's opened up and this is the opening and then you
put this through your wrist here and then once you open and you can put this part down and then same
way if you push it and it will just get hooked on so the bracelet comes in many different sizes like
the short size SH and the median and large and mine is in the short size which is the sh size
and the sh size is about 6.2 inches talking about the size i have a dedicated video to talk about my
cartier love bracelet size but i feel like this is also super useful when you want to purchase this
bracelet as well because i go into all the details how you should be measuring and how to stack with
other pieces all the important information if you're thinking about purchasing a fine
jewelry bracelet piece i'll link the video down below for you to check it out after this video
my wrist measures about 12.7 centimeters so i have a super tiny wrist and if i wear my bracelet even
it's in the smallest the size the shore size is still pretty big to my wrist and when i'm
wearing it you can see the range of motion is pretty big and it can move all the way up and
down so supposedly the short size is the most the small size but when i purchased my bracelet my
essay did mention to me that you have the option to customize it with a mess the headquarters in
paris that they can take your request to make a bracelet that is even smaller to you but it's a
lengthy process it's quite time consuming so when i ordered it i knew the option was there but i was
like i didn't want to bother with it but i just want to let you know the option is there but bear
in mind though with the current inventory and a production situation it might even take you longer
when it comes to the wear and tear i do want to let you know that i don't wear my bracelet every
single day but i do wear it at least a couple times a week from here and there and i don't wear
it to my shower and sleep i always take it off i just don't like to wear it during those times
but i do wear during all my other normal activity like when i'm cooking cleaning uh washing my hands
all these things so i'm definitely wearing it so i definitely got wet before but it's
rose gold so it's totally fine on the surface that you can see there are quite a lot of hairline
scratches you will not be able to avoid this if you are wearing it on the other side that you
can see some scratches too the other way that i want to mention is that you see how there's a
like a ring or small circle in the middle here and when you are moving your hand around you
can hear the sound right it actually hit left and right on both sides it's not as crazy or obvious
as the leather version of my cdc bracelet but when you are taking a very close look of the areas you
can see two dents on the top and two dents on the bottom which basically where the ring lands on the
bracelet other than that after this 1.5 years it's pretty good on the rose gold i don't see any other
wear and tear on the bracelet when i bought this bracelet in summer 2020 the price of the bracelet
is 7 200 and after tax it was seven thousand eight hundred twelve dollars and now after the price
increase in the new year of 2022 the price gone up to seven thousand six hundred dollars so 400
more than 1.5 years ago the first pro of this piece is it's just such a beautiful piece and i
really like the cool and the unique design and it's a beautiful piece that you can stack with
your other fine jewelry pieces as well and they just look really really good together
it's also really versatile and after 1.5 years of wearing i'm pretty sure this is the design
that i will be able to enjoy and wear for a very long time the other thing is that you will only
know that this is a hermes bracelet if you are a H lover which i really like because i feel that if
you know then you know the second pro is because it's a fine jewelry piece it's a big ticket item
it definitely helps your SA to get more commission for him or her and also it kind of speed up the
process for you to get it back i know that with the current inventory situation it might not
help as much as before but i still i feel like it helps to a degree more compared to other purchases
also buying a big ticket item like this is just save you so much time so much hassle to have to
think about or come with up with a long list of the things that you have to buy it just saves so
much time too the other pro is that this bracelet you can tell it's in the oval shape so it actually
fits your wrist the better it's not like the whole round shape it will move around as much and if you
have a better fit than i do you would notice that this oval shape is actually better designed
the other pro that i can think of is because this design and you just push it and hook it on
it's really easy to put it on and take off instead of like the regular love bracelet that you need
help from other people or you need to put the screwdriver on and all these things the first
con is that i would say that for a fine jewelry piece from hermes i do feel like their packaging
is not as nice as all these other fine jewelry brands like cartier and they don't even give
you a cleaning cloth or solution that they don't give you anything my SA asked me to
find a cleaning cloth for my eyeglasses because those cleaning cloth are usually very gentle
enough you can just wipe the things out without damaging the rose gold that's an alternative but
i'm just thinking that Hermes is not known for their jewelry so i do feel like they could have a
lot of improvement room when it comes to packaging or whatever comes with the purchase right next con
you probably already know is that the resale value of this bracelet is really really bad because
after all you know Hermes is not known for their fine jewelry they're known for their
leather goods also a lot of people know that when you are purchasing their fine jewelry
and a lot of time is actually after their quota bags so there's definitely piece of
value fabricated in that part so then when you try to resell this be prepared to have even 50 off
when you resell on the second-hand market so um if you're looking for something to hold the value
if you might resell in the future then probably not the other con that i want to mention to you
is you know that the opening look like this so no matter how big your bracelet get it might
get a little bigger but what i'm trying to say is that this part is actually really small i'm
only having a like a really thin wrist that i can put it through but if your wrist is like bigger
or thicker that you really have to try it out to make sure that it could fit you the next one
is that this one is a really really expensive bracelet and you absolutely have to make sure
that you love the design and this is something that you want because it's so expensive you will
have to wear for a very very long time to make the cost per wear worthwhile the next
two are not necessarily cons like specific to this bracelet but i thought i mentioned to you
is that this bracelet scratches after wearing it other fine jewelry braces scratches too
if you wear it it's just that you should know that this bracelet will look like this after 1.5 years
the next one is um you see the ring here right in the design and you know when i move my wrist
if you can't stand this sound then it will be a problem for you but i don't mind it i think it's
quite a fun but just letting you know that the sound is gonna be there when you move your wrist
so i bought this bracelet right after my material leaf and it definitely has a special place in my
heart because it was the first designer luxury purchase after my maternity leave the postpartum
period and it was a very special period of time that i got to spend a lot of time with my mom
and stanley and looking at this bracelet it definitely reminds me a lot of those good times if
you watched my how much i spent to get my Kelly 25 video you probably know that this bracelet
also helped me to get my kelly 25 over the 1.5 years i really enjoyed this piece so much i know
how everyone feels differently about fine jewelry in general and i have a dedicated video to talk
about fine jewelry worth it that video if you're interested i'll definitely link it down below for
you to check it out and it's just something really interesting to think about personally
just based on how much value it provided to me in the past 1.5 years i feel it's worth to me
