What Boaz checks
What Boaz checks on fine jewelry
Jewelry replicas are often made from real metal and can look perfect in photos. The tells are in the engravings, hallmarks and finishing.
Paperwork isn't proof
Boxes, receipts and certificates are faked too. Boaz judges the piece itself and treats paperwork as supporting evidence only.
-
Engravings and serial numbers
Font, depth and placement of the brand engraving and serial number, and whether the format fits the model and era.
-
Hallmarks and metal stamps
Purity marks such as 750 or Au750 and maker's marks, including where they sit and how cleanly they're struck.
-
Screws, clasps and hinges
Screw heads on Love bracelets, clasp mechanisms and hinge construction, which replicas often simplify.
-
Stone setting and finishing
How stones and inlays such as mother-of-pearl or onyx are set, and the polish and edges of the piece.
-
Proportions and weight
Dimensions and proportions compared with authentic pieces of the same model and size.
How it works
Three steps from photos to proof. Every verdict is made by Boaz, not by software.

General
Which jewelry brands do you authenticate?
Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany & Co. and Bulgari. Don't see your brand? Ask us before you order.
Which photos do I need for jewelry?
Sharp close-ups of every engraving, serial number and hallmark, the clasp or screws, the stone settings, and the full piece from several angles. Use natural light and a macro mode if your phone has one. The photo guide shows examples.
Do you test the metal or gemstones?
No. We authenticate from photos, so we judge the brand's craftsmanship, engravings and construction. We don't test metal purity or grade gemstones.
Is the box and certificate enough to prove it's real?
No. Boxes, receipts and certificates are commonly faked. They can support a verdict, but the piece itself decides it.
What if you can't give a confident verdict?
First we'll ask for more photos. If the verdict is still inconclusive, we explain why and refund your order in full.
Do you use AI or automated tools to authenticate items?
No. Every authentication is performed by Boaz, a human luxury specialist. Your verdict is always based on human judgement, never on an algorithm.
