A guide for this piece: about $1,844, 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.

Eleven alternating links form this Hermès Aléa GM bracelet, historically recorded in Ag 925 silver at 105.75 g.
The Piece
The 22.5 cm figure is total length, not a verified wrist circumference, while maximum width is 1.8 cm. The photographs show broad open links, connecting bars, toggle and end ring, including areas where the marks have softened. Thierry Hermès opened a Paris harness workshop in 1837. Chains, buckles and articulated fittings connect the house's jewellery to that practical equestrian background. The visible construction is useful to understanding this piece; the maker's founding date does not establish its production year, manufacturing country or ownership history.

Condition
Conspicuous scratches and dents are recorded overall, with weakened or faint stamping. The damage must not be reduced to light wear. Current link integrity, fastening and any later repair need an in-person check before the bracelet is worn. See Japanese condition ranks for grading context.
Authenticity & Care
Silver polishing removes some underlying metal as well as tarnish, so avoid general-purpose metal polish and repeated aggressive treatment. Store separately to limit contact scratches. Ask a qualified jeweller to inspect joins and fastening before regular wear; photographs do not test strength. No independent metal assay or complete maker authentication is established.
Delivery from Japan
