A guide for this piece: about $893, 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 fine Chaîne d’Ancre necklace in sterling silver, 2 mm anchor links with one round disc engraved Hermès Paris near the clasp, 40.5 cm, with box and pouch.

The Piece

The links are tiny, about 2 mm wide, but the anchor shape is exact: an oval crossed by a bar, repeated all the way round. One round disc, engraved Hermès Paris, sits near the spring-ring clasp.

This sterling silver necklace carries the anchor-chain motif at its finest scale. It is in very good condition, with light marks and small scratches, and its Hermès box and pouch are both photographed. At 40.5 cm, or 15.9 in, it sits at the base of the neck, the anchors catching light one by one.

Authenticity & Care

Hallmarks, engravings, links and clasp are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Keep it boxed or in a soft pouch away from perfume and hairspray, wipe it with a soft dry cloth, and leave any polishing to a jeweller.

Delivery from Japan

Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.

Length and width are measured by hand, in centimetres, and a chain falls differently on every neck. Lay a chain you already wear along a tape measure and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our necklace length chart shows each length from 40 to 75 cm as it is worn, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.

Considered offers are welcome through Send an Offer, and each one is reviewed personally. Pieces over $1,000 may be reserved over several payments with Layaway Privilege™.
