OUR EVALUATION / AUTHENTICATION PROCESS DISCLOSURE We work hard to provide accurate descriptions and professional evaluations. Luxury items, including brands such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci, undergo authentication checks such as material quality, craftsmanship, brand-specific traits, and serial/production identifiers. Metals may be acid tested, and gemstones may be evaluated using tools including a Presidium Gem Tester II, UV fluorescence, a polariscope, and a trinocular stereoscope up to 90x magnification. However, these efforts do not constitute a warranty or guarantee, and all items remain sold as-is and where-is.
