A guide for this piece: about $2,582, 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.

Diamond-set loops cross over a raised central knot on this Van Cleef & Arpels ribbon ring.

The Piece

The Japanese gauge reading is 8.5, with an approximately 16.0 mm inner diameter. These are different recorded sizing bases, not numbers to silently substitute for one another or convert into a guaranteed fit. The 31 mm design width measures the decorative spread, not the shank width.

Condition

Grade A includes small scratches, scuffs and impact marks rather than an unworn finish. The raised ribbon loops and exposed tails should be checked for distortion or snagging, and every setting needs a current jeweller's inspection. No accessory, original box or independent grading document. See Japanese condition ranks.

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.
