A guide for this piece: about $2,675, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Three polished black clovers alternate with two diamond-set motifs along this white-metal Vintage Alhambra bracelet.
The Piece
Double-beaded borders surround each motif, and close photographs show the clasp, maker marks and reverse construction. The maker’s current VCARP2R900 description confirms this five-motif onyx-and-diamond design, but its current diamond colour and clarity specifications are not a fresh grading report for this individual bracelet. Historical overall length and usable wrist fit are separate figures:19 cm and up to 17.5 cm respectively. A 2024 guarantee and September 2026 polishing statement describe documents associated historically with the piece, not independent confirmation of present ownership or condition.

Condition
Historical SA follows a maker-polishing claim, with micro-rubbing and small marks still acknowledged. The account also mentions slight box soiling, while the formal accessory list names a pouch rather than a box; box inclusion therefore remains unconfirmed. Polishing is not a gemstone-security inspection or proof that every original contour is unchanged. See every photograph before deciding; they are part of the description. See Japanese condition ranks.
Authenticity & Care
Have the clasp and gem settings checked before wear, keeping perfume and cosmetics away from the onyx and joints. Wipe secure surfaces with a soft cloth and store separately to avoid rubbing the polished black motifs against diamonds. Do not use an ultrasonic cleaner, steam or abrasive polish without a jeweller’s assessment of the actual stones and settings. Documents, stones and serial markings need individual matching; a model reference alone does not authenticate this example.
Delivery from Japan
