A guide for this piece: about $3,922, 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.

An angular pink stone forms the head of this diamond-set Serpenti Viper ring.

The Piece

Authenticity & Care

Have a qualified jeweller inspect the shank, stone edges and settings before regular wear or alteration. Avoid impacts, abrasive polishing and household chemicals, and keep the ring separately in a soft-lined compartment. Remove before bathing or strenuous activity. Do not assume that a historic refinishing statement makes further polishing appropriate: repeated abrasion can soften edges and marks. Ask a gem specialist to assess the stones and any treatments before choosing a cleaning method.
