How it works

A Global Standard in Hermès Authentication

Authenticated by Aureon is the independent authority in Hermès authentication. Our assessments are based on structured, multi expert review rather than informal single person judgement.
Each item is authenticated using our proprietary 72 point methodology, verified by four Hermès specialists and issued with a certificate backed by a lifetime financial guarantee.

A formal market valuation is provided alongside the certificate, offering documentation suitable for insurers and advisors.

Our Authentication Process

  • Provenance

    Authenticated by Aureon accepts items only from existing clients, known collectors and established corporate partners. This means that each submission arrives with a clear and verifiable background before it enters our system.

    We do not accept public submissions. Limiting access to trusted channels allows us to maintain full oversight of provenance at the first stage of review, significantly reducing the risk associated with unknown or unverified sources.

  • Internal Examination

    Our 72 point protocol is a proprietary system that brings structure and technical consistency to Hermès authentication. It covers all key construction and identification elements of the bag and creates a complete technical profile before independent review.
    Each item is examined in person by a certified Authenticated by Aureon specialist. All assessments are carried out in person. We do not offer remote or image-based authentication and we do not use AI tools.
    The same item is then reviewed again by a second in-house specialist to ensure consistency across all findings.

  • Independent Validation

    Once internal checks are complete, the file is submitted to two independent external Hermès experts, neither affiliated with each other nor with Authenticated by Aureon. These reviewers conduct an objective assessment based on all collected data. If any expert does not confirm authenticity, a certificate is not issued.

  • Certification and Guarantee

    A certificate is issued only when authenticity has been confirmed through all stages of review. The Authenticated by Aureon certificate includes a physical and digital record, a unique QR code and a lifetime financial guarantee.
    The certificate is accompanied by a separate formal market valuation, forming a complete, professionally usable documentation pack.

  • Certified Assurance

    You receive an official certificate of authenticity and Aureon warranty, giving you complete peace of mind whether you keep, sell, or insure your piece.

Professional Use

Authenticated by Aureon supports the professionals who advise, protect and manage Hermès assets at a high level. Our role is to provide the clarity and assurance required in situations where authenticity and value must be established with confidence.
 
Each item is authenticated through physical examination, a proprietary 72 point methodology and multi-expert consensus. The certificate is backed by a lifetime financial guarantee and is accompanied by a separate valuation document that sets out the current market replacement value for insurance and advisory use.
 
Each item also includes our ABA Asset Protection Tag, offering an additional security layer for clients managing high-value assets.
 
The authentication certificate, the valuation and the associated records together form a complete documentation pack. This pack is used to support a wide range of professional needs, including divorce settlements, estate distribution, portfolio reporting, insurance coverage and renewal, high value claims, auction preparation, corporate risk management and private client advisory.
Existing clients may also engage us before a high-value purchase for pre-acquisition verification and market-value guidance, supporting risk management and informed decision making.
 
We also support companies and e-commerce platforms who want to reassure their clients that high-value pieces are backed by independent expert review, particularly where in-house specialist capability does not exist.
 
We regularly operate under NDA and handle sensitive client matters with full confidentiality.

Turnaround times are confirmed at intake and priority scheduling is available for time-sensitive cases.
 
Our documentation provides the certainty, risk reduction and evidence required for professional decision making.
 
Professionals who require access or wish to discuss integration can contact our team directly for guidance.
