We are pleased to offer Free Shipping on all purchases to our customers in the USA.

We calculate and add all customs, taxes and duties at checkout to ensure a smooth journey with no delays or unexpected fees along the way.
* these are estimates only and can vary
In the USA, import tax/duty does not apply when purchasing antiques aged over 100 years old. We declare these items as 'Personal adornment, over 100 years old', providing a signed and dated Antique Declaration form. Georgian and Victorian jewelry (around 40% of our inventory) falls into this category.
Items under 100 years oldFor items under 100 years old you will be liable to pay local tax/duty or handling fees on imported goods. Jewelry from periods other than Georgian and Victorian (around 60% of our inventory) falls into this category.
Prepayment of Duties & TaxesTo ensure as smooth and pain-free an experience as possible, we calculate all applicable customs, taxes and duties at checkout and add them to the total cost of the order. In doing so, we take on the responsibility of shipping logistics and customs clearances (using the DDP shipping arrangement) so you don't have to. Most importantly, it means your item/s will be with you as quickly as possible.
Please let us know if you are contacted by US Customs requesting supporting documents.
