A guide for this piece: about $1,119, 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.

An open four-lobed element and a long chain tassel distinguish this Hermès Rose de Mer necklace.

The Piece

The description names Rose de Mer and records 925 silver, 81 cm total length and an item mass of 130 g. Its top is described at 5.8 cm wide by 18 cm high, while chain width is 0.4 cm. These are separate dimensions, not an 18 cm chain or a guaranteed neckline drop. The full silhouette and closer chain details are photographed. 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

Grade B, read from the grading panel, with scratches in places. The tassel and large open element should not be unmarked. Review the strands, joining points and chain alongside the overall view. Present articulation, fastening, strand completeness and any later repairs have not been independently examined; the 130 g figure is historical. See Japanese condition ranks for grading context.

Authenticity & Care

Store the long necklace separately and supported to reduce tangling and contact scratches. Silver polishing removes underlying metal, so avoid repeated aggressive treatment or general-purpose metal polish. Ask a jeweller to assess the tassel joins, chain and fastening before wear or cleaning. Neither the silver description nor visible lettering independently establishes assay, authentication or current structural condition.
