A guide for this piece: about $1,297, 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.

Authenticity & Care

Have a qualified jeweller inspect the pin, catch, joints and diamond settings before fastening the brooch to a garment. Support the whole piece rather than pulling a wing, leaf or wire projection, and choose fabric capable of supporting the mass. Do not straighten a pin or bend the decorative elements at home. Store flat and separately in a soft-lined compartment, away from chemicals and abrasive surfaces.
