A guide for this piece: about $13,129, 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 80 cm chain gives this Hermès TPM necklace a long, continuous line of textured anchor links.
The Piece
The historical description records 18K yellow gold and 91.6 g, a substantial item mass that should not be confused with shipping weight. Photographs show the full necklace, closer link details, fastening and presentation box. The 80 cm figure describes chain length, not the drop below the neckline or a guarantee of where it will sit on a particular wearer. The Chaîne d'Ancre began as a bracelet designed by Robert Dumas in 1938, inspired by a ship's anchor chain. The divided oval link is the shared visual vocabulary. The bracelet's introduction does not establish when the TPM necklace version appeared or when this particular necklace was made.

Condition
Historical grade A, with minor scuffs despite the description of little use. No present-day condition or unworn assurance follows from that grade. Review the link edges and fastening, not just the long silhouette. The necklace's current articulation, closure security and any changes since the photographs remain unverified. See every photograph before deciding; they are part of the description. See Japanese condition ranks for grading context.
Authenticity & Care
Keep the gold alloy away from chlorine bleach and household cleaners. Store the long chain separately and supported, so it does not rub against other jewellery or tangle. Have a jeweller check the fastening and link joins before wear. Neither the gold description nor accompanying papers independently establish assay, authentication or current maker coverage.
