A guide for this piece: about $903, 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 openwork tiers and round stone settings define this Hermès Calypso MM ring, historically recorded in 18 K yellow gold at 9.6 g.

The Piece

The size is described as Japanese 12.5, with 53 photographed inside the band. A photographed polishing letter dated 23 April 2026 names Calypso MM and carries a 12 D/0.50 ct notation; it is documentary context, not a laboratory report or a manufacturing date. The Made in France and Au 750 marks are visible, without independent assay or authentication. Robert Dumas designed the Chaîne d'Ancre bracelet in 1938, inspired by a ship's anchor chain. Its divided oval links became a recognisable design vocabulary beyond the original bracelet. This model history does not date the present example, establish its manufacturing country or prove a continuous ownership history.

Recorded dimensions and masses are historical figures, not fresh in-house measurements. Item and parcel weights are not interchangeable.

Condition

Historical grade A, with slight use, scratches, rubbing and soiling recorded. Polishing is expressly noted, and fine scratches may remain after treatment. The repair letter describes polishing, not an assurance that every stone or setting is currently secure. Current fit, setting condition and later alteration require a jeweller's examination. See every photograph before deciding; they are part of the description. See Japanese condition ranks for grading context.

Authenticity & Care

Have a qualified jeweller inspect the stones and settings before wear. Ultrasonic vibration can loosen stones, so avoid home ultrasonic or steam cleaning while treatment and repair history remain unknown. Keep the gold alloy away from chlorine bleach and household cleaners. A diamond description is not independent laboratory grading, proof of origin or a secure-setting assurance.

Delivery from Japan
