What Sets Us Apart
Forensic Process
Every item is physically examined by our in-house team using a proprietary 72-point methodology covering materials, construction, stitching, hardware and all identifying features. We do not use AI or automated systems at any stage.
Multi-Expert Review
Each piece is reviewed by four Hermès specialists — two internal and two independent external reviewers. If any expert does not confirm authenticity, a certificate is not issued.
Lifetime Guarantee
The only Hermès authentication certificate supported by a lifetime financial guarantee, extending throughout the client's ownership. Authenticity concerns often appear many years after purchase.
Formal Valuation
Every authentication includes a separate formal market valuation. Together, certificate and valuation form a complete asset pack for insurance, legal or advisory use.
One person can get it wrong. That is why our process never relies on a single viewpoint.
The quality of counterfeit Hermès pieces has increased dramatically, with some items using similar materials, hardware and construction techniques to genuine production. In this environment, relying on one person's opinion — or on technology that cannot evaluate an item physically in hand — is no longer sufficient.
Authenticated by Aureon removes that risk. Each item is examined in person using a 72-point protocol and reviewed by a panel of internal and independent specialists. A certificate is issued only when all four experts reach full agreement.
Authenticity lives in the millimetres.
Hardware, stitching, embossing, leather grain, base studs, hand-finished edges — every element examined in person against era-correct specification.
