A guide for this piece: about $589, 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.

Five graduated rows give this Mikimoto Akoya choker a broad pearl band around the neck.
The Piece
The strand arrangement narrows towards the yellow-gold clasp, whose reverse is shown in close-up. The 37 cm figure is neck circumference, while 15 to 23 mm describes the band's varying width; neither should be presented as a pendant measurement. Pearl diameters range from approximately 3.5 to 7.3 mm. Their stains remain relevant, not a reason to promise pristine packaging.

Authenticity & Care
Keeping pearls away from chemicals and heat, wiping them gently with a soft cloth and avoiding ultrasonic or steam cleaning. Let a damp string dry before wearing it. Have the threading and clasp checked before regular use; cleaning is not a current safety test.
