A guide for this piece: about $9,567, 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.

Narrow rectangular links form this Hermès Hercules necklace in 750 yellow gold at 42 cm.

The Piece

Its maximum width is recorded as 2.6 mm, with an item mass of 13.7 g. Close photographs show the linked construction and fastening; a neck-display image offers scale, not a guaranteed fit or fresh measurement. The expressly records refinishing, which is different from an unused condition claim. A box is recorded, without a separately established guarantee. Hermès began as a Paris harness workshop in 1837 and later extended its vocabulary into jewellery. Here the Hercules is identified by its rectangular linked construction, not the divided oval links of the Chaîne d'Ancre. The maker's founding date neither dates this necklace nor establishes where this particular example was manufactured.

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

Condition

Grade A following recorded refinishing. A bright finish does not establish that the necklace was never worn, and the extent of material removed is unknown. Review the rectangular links and clasp details. Present articulation, fastening security, later marks and any additional repairs have not been independently examined. See Japanese condition ranks for grading context.

Authenticity & Care

Keep the gold alloy away from chlorine bleach and household cleaners, and store the narrow chain separately to avoid tangling and contact scratches. Ask a qualified jeweller to check link joins and the clasp before wear. Further polishing should follow an assessment of the existing refinishing, not an assumption that every mark should be removed.

Delivery from Japan

Ask about protective packing and destination requirements before dispatch. For a closer view or a fit question about this Hercules necklace, please ask before deciding.
