A guide for this piece: about $23, 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 vintage statement necklace from Kenzo in gold-tone metal, its links twisted like grapevine tendrils and set at intervals with sculpted flowers. It closes with a toggle clasp and arrives in very good condition.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. Nature has always been its richest source of ornament, and this necklace gathers it into a single bold collar: open loops of golden vine, knotted and bent as if grown rather than made, with five flowers blossoming along the front.
The finish is a warm, satin yellow gold with a soft sheen on the raised petals, so the flowers stand out cleanly from the vine. The links are generous and light enough to lie comfortably at the collarbone, and the toggle closure at the back, shaped like a small flower with a bar, is an elegant detail that sits neatly in place. Worn over a plain knit or an open collar, it supplies all the drama an outfit needs.
The necklace is photographed on a display bust to show how it falls. We are glad to provide them on request before you buy.

Authenticity & Care

Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Tokyo 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 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.
