  • Overwhelming quantity of jewels!!!

    Had you ever had problems with customs exporting or importing these jewels from abroad?

  • When I had them with me , since I wear them and it shows , i would always declair them .. I had means of doing it. Mostly customs do not know about the value, looks like costume.. I never got diamonds so it was easier.  Sometimes I would have them sent ,, also easy. from India i had quite a bit so had a broker clear me and did it like a business shipment. Mostly just purchased like they were all for personal consumption .  Many i get from old collections also from US or just shopping here with other dealers that come here.
