USA Duties & Taxes

Items over 100 years old

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 old

For 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 & Taxes

To 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 note:
Customers in the USA might be charged additional, shipment-related fees, in the region of $40.00-$80.00, that can vary from state to state. The AJC cannot take responsbilitiy for these fees.

Please let us know if you are contacted by US Customs requesting supporting documents.

Ring Sizing

We are pleased to offer Complimentary Sizings on all ring purchases, undertaken by one of the best jewellers in the business.

Please note:

• Our offer is only valid on the first ring sizing per customer.
• Your free sizing will remain valid for 1 year after purchase.
• Thereafter, ring sizings are charged at £72.00 (not including postage).
• Sizings usually take 2-3 working days but can vary depending on our jeweller's workload. We always try and get rings sized as quickly as possible.
• We have marked clearly beneath our items which rings can be sized. If you are unsure please let us know.
• Certain rings are not able to be sized due to their design, eg. eternity rings or Georgian rings with ornately carved shanks. In these cases we feel the integrity of the rings would be damaged if sizing took place.
