A guide for this piece: about $2,299, 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.

A yellow sapphire forms the centre of this Chanel sun-motif ring, with diamonds arranged around the radiating gold design.
The Piece
Chanel's 1932 Bijoux de Diamants collection included a sun motif. The ring is 18K yellow gold with yellow sapphire and diamonds. The Japanese size 12 is fitting slightly small; the title also gives 52. The top measures 14.1 by 23.3 by 8 mm; the band-width range is a separate 4.3 to 10.2 mm figure. Stone chips remain an important condition point despite refinishing.
