    There are a few ways to determine whether or not your Bulgari jewelry is real. First, Bulgari uses the highest quality material for all of its pieces, such as 18-karat gold, platinum, silver or steel with meticulously cut gemstones and diamonds. Second, all pieces should be stamped with “made in Italy” and a “BVLGARI” text. Note that Bulgari uses the classic Latin alphabet, which is why a “V” is used in place of a “U.” Browse a large collection of authentic Bulgari jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

    To tell if your IWC watch is real, first examine the dial. All of the pieces and numbers should be sharp, clear and precise. IWC manufactures their watches to an extremely high standard and any sign of sloppy workmanship is a dead giveaway. Counterfeiters will often use the wrong fonts and colors, so compare your watch against reference pictures of the genuine article. IWC is known for its slim design on their bezels and crowns, and all the pieces should be sleek and fit perfectly together. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of expertly-vetted IWC watches from some of the world’s top sellers.

    Satsuma porcelain or pottery includes a maker’s mark with the name of the person who made the item. Japanese numbers may also indicate that a Satsuma piece was part of a collection. Genuine Satsuma pieces will not have a “Made in Japan” label and should only include Japanese characters. When in doubt, work with a certified appraiser to determine the authenticity of your Satsuma piece. Find a variety of expertly vetted Satsuma porcelain and pottery collectibles on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    To know if your Birkin is real, check the heat stamp inside. Beneath the front flap of a real Birkin is the phrase of dreams: Hermès Paris Made in France. Label stamps are lightly pressed into the leather in gold or silver or as a colorless imprint; metallics generally match the hardware. Check that the accent is correct on the è, the stamp is perfectly centered and at the correct distance from the top (very close to the top stitching), and the letters are clear and fine (not heavy-handed). It shouldn’t look engraved, painted on or irregular. Done by the hand of an experienced artisan, the stitches on the Birkin are slightly angled, tight and precise. Generally, the thread is the same color as the bag. Since the stitching is hand-done, it may have small inconsistencies — but it will never be messy. Sloppy work such as loose or hanging threads is the work of a counterfeiter, not a lazy artisan. There are no lazy artisans in the world of Hermès. Find a collection of Hermès Birkin bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    To know if ametrine is real, you can carefully observe the shades it emits. A real ametrine emits the purple color of amethyst and the yellow color of citrine — its parent elements. A transparent stone, ametrine has very few flaws and displays a great deal of clarity.

    To know if your Picasso is real, search trusted online resources for images of the artist's signature from authentic pieces produced around the same time that you believe your painting, drawing, sculpture, print or other piece was produced. Picasso's signature changed over time, and counterfeiters often fail to match the false signature on their reproductions to the correct signature style for a particular piece's time frame. Because it can be challenging to authenticate art without training and experience, consider having a certified appraiser or experienced dealer assist you. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Pablo Picasso art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    How you can know if your Dalí is real depends on whether you have a painting or a print. For prints, one of the best ways to assess authenticity is to compare details, such as the position and size of the signature and the dimensions of the image, to information published in a well-researched catalogue of the artist's work, which you can find online and in some libraries. For paintings, you can compare the artist's signature with images shared on trusted online resources. Because there are many counterfeits of the Spanish artist's work, it is a good idea to get an expert opinion from a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Salvador Dalí art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 18, 2024
    How to know if your Swarovski is real depends on the age of the piece. From 1991 onward, every Swarovski piece has featured a serial code. Some pieces produced between 1975 and 1990 also feature codes. The length and formatting of the codes have varied over the years, but you can check trusted online resources to determine if a code on a piece that you own is one that the Austrian maker has used in the past. If your piece lacks a code or you have doubts about its authenticity, a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert can assist you. Shop an assortment of Swarovski decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
    To tell if your Ercol is real, look for the maker's markings. Authentic pieces will typically show the maker's logo, the date of production and the model number in an inconspicuous area.

    There are a few ways to know if your purse is real. One option is to conduct research using trusted online resources.

    The best way to know if your jewelry is real is to first determine what you mean by the word real.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    How you know if your earrings are real depends on what you mean by real. If you're looking to find out if your earrings are an authentic piece produced by a certain maker, such as Cartier or Van Cleef & Arpels, researching the markings and other characteristics common among their pieces can be a good place to start. A certified appraiser can also assist with this type of authentication.

On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of earrings.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To know if Blenko is real, first check it for markings. Over the years, Blenko has used foil stickers and sandblasted markings to identify its pieces. Comparing the markings on your piece to pictures shared on trusted online resources is a good way to begin the authentication process. If you notice major discrepancies, your piece may be a reproduction. Next, search Blenko catalogs to find out if Blenko ever produced a piece like yours. From there, you can learn about the characteristics of the specific item and use them as the basis for evaluation. Alternatively, you can consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer for their expert opinion. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Blenko glass.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    To know if a serigraph is real, do some research using trusted online resources or books written by experts.

Also, ensure that the image size matches the dimensions listed in a catalogue of the artist's work. For assistance with authentication, use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of serigraphs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To know if a Limoges is real, look for the marking that indicates the maker. The widely cherished ceramics named for the French city and commune in which they are made are synonymous with sophistication, elegance and refinement. Today, antique Limoges dinnerware, serveware, decorative objects and other porcelain products are coveted and collected all over the world. On authentic pieces, you will see the words “Peint Main," which means "hand-painted." Authentic works will also say "Limoges, France." The finish is also a good indication of authenticity. Most real Limoges pieces will have a dull patina. Objects with a glossy or shiny finish are most likely reproductions. Shop a range of Limoges pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    To know if Louboutins are real, examine their iconic red soles. Authentic Christian Louboutin shoes will feature a bright, glossy finish with no flaws, smudging or discoloration. In addition, the soles should be securely fastened to the rest of the shoe. On replicas, they may be poorly glued or loose. Also, inspect the stitching all over the shoes. If you notice any irregularities or flaws, the shoes are unlikely to be authentic. If you're unsure about whether a particular pair of shoes is authentic, seek the opinion of a knowledgeable expert. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Christian Louboutin shoes.

    To know if your majolica is real, examine the glaze carefully. Authentic majolica will usually be free of flaws, while reproductions may display runs and drips. Keep in mind that majolica is a type of earthenware rather than a brand. Familiarizing yourself with the maker's marks and characteristics of the pieces associated with the artisan or factory that produced your pottery can help you determine what else to look for during the authentication process. If you'd like a professional opinion, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a range of majolica pottery.

    To know if a Bvlgari ring is real, first examine the stamps. On both sides of authentic rings, you’ll find the Bvlgari logo in the correct font with a “V” in place of the “U.” Some styles have the name just once along with the word “Roma,” while others show the brand name twice with dots separating them. With either style, the letters should be clean and evenly spaced. Replicas may have the correct wording but have only faint stamps or bunched characters. Shop a selection of Bvlgari rings on 1stDibs.
