A guide for this piece: about $1,860, 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.

Curved rows of yellow and white metal form the substantial fronts of these Bvlgari Tubogas earrings.

The Piece

The rear photograph shows the hinged fittings, while a separate repair-document image accompanies the historical accessory record. Bvlgari describes the Tubogas technique as gold strips wrapped around a core to make flexible rounded bands without soldering. That collection-level explanation does not independently verify this pair’s manufacture date or every construction detail. The dimensions are historical records rather than a new fit assessment. The recorded 47.6 g must not be silently assigned to each earring; individual masses and comfort on the ear have not been established here.

Measurements are historical records, not fresh in-house checks or packed shipping specifications.

Condition

Historical A+ follows maker polishing, not proof that the fittings retain their original pressure or that all ridged joins are secure. No gemstones are recorded. Check both backs, edges and attachment points in hand before wear, especially given the substantial recorded mass. The accessory box is a retailer box, with a repair certificate requiring correspondence checks rather than an independently confirmed original complete set. See every photograph before deciding; they are part of the description. See Japanese condition ranks.

Authenticity & Care

Do not force or repeatedly flex the fittings to change their grip at home. A qualified jeweller should inspect both hinged mechanisms and confirm the appropriate fit before use. Store the earrings apart in soft-lined compartments so the ridges cannot abrade one another. Avoid impacts, abrasive polishing, household chemicals and immersion until the actual construction has been assessed. Do not hang their weight from delicate fabric or use a polishing wheel around joins. Maker history and a past repair paper are not current structural, assay or ownership guarantees.
