The Fancy LAB Standard
Please note: Our authentication services are dedicated to pre-owned luxury watches and established branded fine jewelry only. We do not evaluate custom or unbranded pieces.
No matter which service path you choose, every item processed through our Irvine facility receives our complete suite of technical and security protocols:
Rigorous Authentication: Expert physical inspection of your luxury watch or branded jewelry.
Definitive Reporting: An official "Authentic" or "Non-Authentic" final report.
Tamper-Proof Dispatch: All authenticated assets are secured in tamper-evident sealed packaging before leaving our lab.
Fully Insured Security: UL-rated vault storage and fully insured transit up to your item's "Declared Value."

Authentication Service: What We Offer
-
Designed to make secondary market transactions safe and risk-free for both buyers and sellers.
Neutral Custody: We receive the item directly from the seller and hold it securely while both parties handle the private financial transfer.
Payment Witnessing: We act as an independent witness, holding the asset until we receive mutual confirmation that the payment is complete.
Directed Delivery: Once the payment is verified, the sealed item is shipped directly to the buyer. (If the trade is canceled, it is safely returned to the seller).
-
Designed for collectors needing independent verification of an item they already possess.
Direct Verification: Send in a luxury asset you currently own for personal peace of mind, insurance documentation, or to prepare it for a future private sale.
Direct Return: Following the technical inspection and reporting, the sealed item is shipped safely back to your address.
