Luxury jewellery is an investment, but the rise of counterfeits makes authentication more important than ever. At Foxhills Jewellers, we’ve helped countless clients identify genuine Cartier, Tiffany & Co., and Boodles jewellery. Here’s how to protect your investment.
1. Cartier Authenticity Checks
Genuine Cartier pieces feature precise hallmarks and unique serial numbers.
The weight and craftsmanship of Cartier jewellery are unmatched—fakes often feel lighter or uneven.
Packaging and certificates of authenticity are crucial indicators.
2. Tiffany & Co. Authentication
Tiffany pieces are renowned for their crisp, clean engravings. Fakes often use shallow or blurred etching.
Silver items should carry the “925” mark, and all metals are of the highest grade.
The iconic blue box has exact colour specifications—imitations are easy to spot with a side-by-side comparison.
3. Mixed-Metal Bands
Rose gold paired with platinum or yellow gold creates unique contrast.
4. Lab-Grown Diamonds
Sustainable, affordable, and nearly identical to mined diamonds, lab-grown continues to grow.
5. Vintage Revival
Halo settings and art deco styles are making a comeback for brides seeking nostalgia.
