Trust is the only product Certifié Luxe sells. Below is exactly how we earn it — every piece, every time.
Each piece arrives at our atelier and is examined hand-in-hand by the appropriate in-house specialist — gemologists for jewelry, horologists for watches, leather specialists for bags. Weights are taken. Measurements recorded. Photographs taken under controlled light against a reference background.
Hallmarks are read against our reference archive. Movement architecture is opened where appropriate. Leather grain, stitching, and hardware are inspected at magnification. Serial numbers are cross-referenced with manufacturer databases (where they exist) and brand registries.
For selected references, photographic evidence is run against a fine-tuned vision model trained on hallmark, font, leather grain, and stitching anomalies invisible to the naked eye. Where the model and the specialist disagree, the specialist’s judgment leads.
On a clear pass, the piece is minted a unique six-character Certifié serial, written to our immutable archive, and accompanied by a printed and digital certificate signed by the specialist. The piece may now bear the Certifié mark.
Unworn or as-new. Full original packaging, papers, and tags where present. Passes every checkpoint without remark.
The standard tier. Well-preserved with honest signs of considered wear. Fully authenticated. May include partial original packaging.
Pieces over twenty-five years old. Authenticated against period-correct hallmarks, references, and craftsmanship. Graded against vintage norms.
If a Certifié piece is ever proven to be misrepresented in authenticity, condition tier, or material composition, the house will refund the full purchase price and pay a further twenty-five percent of that price. The promise runs for the lifetime of the piece and is transferable to any future custodian who can produce the certificate.
