A certificate of authenticity is the record that travels with a piece. It is issued for items we sell and for items examined through our authentication service, and its purpose is simple: to let anyone confirm, on the spot, what a piece is and that it has been assessed.
What it contains
- A unique certificate ID and the item's description.
- The verdict — authentic, or examined and not certified.
- The date the record was registered.
- A QR code linking to the public verification page.
What it is not
The certificate is our professional opinion, formed by examining the item's construction, materials, hardware, and provenance. It is issued by Archived Blood alone — never by the original brand — and it covers exactly what it states. No brand has inspected, verified, or approved the item, and no brand warranty applies.
Verifying one
Scanning the QR code opens the piece's record in the Archive, showing its details, verdict, registration date, and the submitted photographs. Anyone can check it before buying or selling, and the record is kept permanently.
