A guide for this piece: about $2,797, 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 Oscar Heyman ring in 18K yellow gold and platinum, with an oval yellow sapphire and an oval blue sapphire set together and framed by round diamonds.
The Piece
Oscar Heyman & Brothers is a New York jewellery house founded in 1912, known for fine coloured-gemstone jewellery.
A yellow sapphire and a blue sapphire sit one above the other, each in a gold claw setting, with round diamonds in platinum clustered around them. The inside of the band is stamped "HB", "18K" and "PLAT". A GIA report records both stones as natural sapphire of Sri Lankan origin, with no indications of heating.
The ring is Japanese size 9.5 on a ring gauge, which may differ from the maker's own sizing. The design is 20.2 mm (0.80 in) wide, and the ring weighs 7.5 g (0.26 oz). The maker's certificate of authenticity and the GIA report are included.

Authenticity & Care
Season stamps, plate engravings, clasps and plating 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, and wipe with a soft dry cloth only; never use metal polish on plated finishes.
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 before you buy, and see our published policy.
Japanese ring numbers follow their own scale, a little apart from US, UK and EU sizes, and a wide band wears smaller than a slender one. Compare with a ring that already fits the finger you have in mind and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our ring size chart sets each Japanese number beside its US, UK and EU equivalent, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
