A guide for this piece: about $1,032, 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.

Alternating anchor links, twisted forms and open rings give this Aléa II GM bracelet a varied rhythm.

The Piece

The description records 925 silver, size 16, a 22.5 cm total length and maximum width of 2.2 cm, with a mass of 166.59 g. Size 16 is retained as a recorded designation, not automatically converted into a 16 cm wrist fit. The substantial end ring and toggle are visible, while the box has separate recorded wear that must not disappear behind the bracelet's grade. 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.

Recorded dimensions and masses are figures, not fresh in-house measurements. Item and parcel weights are not interchangeable.

Condition

Grade S, read from the grading panel. The detailed fault field is a dash, not an assurance of a completely unmarked or currently unused bracelet. Slight soiling and rubbing are specifically recorded on the box. Current link articulation, fastening security and later storage marks require confirmation before wear. 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

Ask about protective packing and destination requirements before dispatch. For a closer view or a fit question about this Aléa II GM bracelet, please ask before deciding.
