Wife is coming back on Advance Parole and she wants to bring all the jewelry with her that we bought when I went to India as per indian customs (Mangalsutra, earrings and all). Everything is around 350 grams of gold in jewelry (Estimate would be around 16 to 17K). She is getting an export certificate from indian customs so she can always take it back when she returns for weddings and stuff. My question is would there be any issue with US Customs? Duty to be paid? Limit on how much she can bring without paying duty? etc....
Can she wear half of it ans declare remaining items - that would make it less than $10K limit I guess so no duty would have to be paid.
Has anyone come through without any issues or past experiences.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
