A guide for this piece: about $1,766, 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.

Two orange coral discs terminate the ridged yellow-gold form of this Bvlgari Tubogas bracelet.

The Piece

Bvlgari describes Tubogas as gold strips wrapped around a core to form flexible rounded bands without soldering. The inner circumference is 15.5 cm, not a newly measured wrist-size guarantee or permission to pull the ends apart. Coral species, geographical origin and treatment status remain untested, and the retailer box is not an original-completeness certificate.

Condition

A+ follows refinishing, not a new structural examination of the ridged band or coral mounts. The 31.7 g mass is item data rather than a packed weight. Present spring behaviour, terminal security and coral surface condition require a specialist's in-hand review. No claim of an unaltered original surface or unconditional export eligibility is made. See Japanese condition ranks.

Authenticity & Care

Coral is comparatively soft and porous, and may be dyed, waxed, stabilised or reconstructed; none of those possibilities has been tested here. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaning, soaking, heat, chlorine, perfume and household chemicals. Ask a gem specialist to assess the actual material and mounting before cleaning or wear.
