A guide for this piece: about $24, 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 vintage necklace from Kenzo in gold-tone metal, its front a garland of sculpted flowers, daisies and leaves strung on a fine cable chain. 42 cm long, with a lobster clasp, in lightly worn condition.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. Flowers were among its earliest and most enduring languages, and this necklace turns that language into jewellery: a spray of blooms worked in relief, each petal given a different finish.
The central flower is a broad, full-petalled rose with a raised stamen at its heart. On either side sits a finely rayed daisy, and the garland closes at each end with a pair of serrated leaves that catch the light along their edges. The metal is a warm, soft gold, burnished on the petals and left matte in the recesses, so the surface seems to shift as the necklace moves. The reverse of the main flower carries a small Kenzo plaque.
Measured flat: chain length approximately 42 cm (16.5 in); flower motif approximately 2.8 cm wide by 2.5 cm high (1.1 by 1.0 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 mm.

Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Tokyo and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Length and width are measured by hand, in centimetres, and a chain falls differently on every neck. Lay a chain you already wear along a tape measure and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our necklace length chart shows each length from 40 to 75 cm as it is worn, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
