How We Authenticate

Our authentication process is built on deep category expertise, hands-on inspection, and long-term reference data

Craftsmanship & Materials

Measurements & Reference Data

Period Knowledge & Market Monitoring

01 Physical Inspection

01 Physical Inspection

Each item is physically examined for craftsmanship, construction, material quality, surface finish, engraving details, and overall consistency. This stage focuses on the tangible characteristics that help distinguish authentic pieces from items that appear inconsistent or questionable.

02 Measurement & Database Comparison

02 Measurement & Database Comparison

Weight, dimensions, and proportions are carefully measured and reviewed against our internal database, historical records, and long-term reference materials. This comparison helps identify inconsistencies that may not be immediately visible through appearance alone.

03 Cross-Check by Experience

03 Cross-Check by Experience

Markings, period-specific details, and design characteristics are evaluated in the context of historical production knowledge and current market observations. Our review process is informed by long-term sample accumulation, internal archives, historical transaction data, and continued study of developments in the counterfeit market.

Our Standards

  • Items that do not meet our internal standards are not listed for sale.
  • Items that raise authenticity concerns are not accepted for purchase, resale, or buyback.
  • Our review process is grounded in physical inspection, reference comparison, and long-term category knowledge.
  • This allows us to apply a consistent standard to the items we choose to accept and offer.

Specialized Focus

Rather than covering every category in the market, we focus on the areas where our experience is deepest.

Our current specialization is centered on Chrome Hearts and Goro's, with authentication standards shaped by long-term sample accumulation, internal reference archives, historical transaction data, and continued market study.

Standing Behind What We Sell

We stand behind eligible items previously sold by us by continuing to offer resale and buyback support, subject to item condition and current market evaluation.

Standing Behind What We Sell

  • Market-Based Evaluation

    Buyback offers are determined based on current market conditions, item condition, and category demand.

  • Specialized Category Knowledge

    Our continued focus on Chrome Hearts and Goro's supports more consistent long-term evaluation and resale review.

  • A Long-Term Standard

    The same standards that guide our authentication process also inform our approach to future resale and buyback review.

For Our Customers

Authenticity is not treated as a marketing phrase. It is a review standard applied to every item we choose to accept and offer. Our goal is to present pieces with clarity, consistency, and the level of scrutiny these categories require.
