A guide for this piece: about $2,347, 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.

A pink-purple, shield-like stone terminates the coiled gold form of this Bvlgari Tubogas ring.

The Piece

Bvlgari explains Tubogas as gold strips wrapped around a core to form flexible rounded bands without soldering. That broader design history is not a date, production-method inspection or authentication for this particular piece. Its size is Japanese gauge 10, and the flexible appearance is not permission to stretch the ring or assume a universal fit. Tourmaline and diamond identities follow the historical, not fresh gem testing.

Authenticity & Care

Have a qualified jeweller inspect the setting, shank and any fastening before regular wear or alterations. Avoid impacts, household chemicals and abrasive polishing; do not attempt to straighten or resize the piece at home. Keep separately in a soft-lined compartment, remove before bathing or strenuous activity, and ask a specialist for a cleaning method suited to the actual stones and their condition. Papers require matching to the actual piece.
