Hermes New Kelly Chaine Square Openwork Bracelet

The Hermes New Kelly Chaine square openwork bracelet has become the hottest jewelry series at official counters. Here are the key challenges in replicating this piece: 1) All micro-setting is done entirely by hand, and the clasp mechanism replicates the authentic version with an audible ‘click’ sound—this is the first major challenge; 2) The chain is the most difficult part: each link is stamped using hydraulic pressure, then manually cut apart, reassembled one by one, and welded seamlessly before being polished to perfection with no visible joints; 3) Plating is extremely challenging—it requires multiple plating sessions due to the interlocking links, which are hard to coat evenly, especially given the thick gold plating process that significantly increases production cost; 4) Handcrafting is slow and time-consuming, making mass production impossible without compromising quality, as any shortcut would fail to achieve a true-to-original result. This is a heavyweight luxury series built for direct comparison. It’s incredibly difficult to produce—available stock is limited and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Achieving such level of detail is unmatched.
