Rinkya Authentic
Nobody can tell by eye anymore.
AI-generated fakes and near-perfect counterfeits have caught up with collectibles. Rinkya Authentic puts a named expert in front of your piece, applies the seal, and publishes a record anyone can check.
A named expert, hands on
Every verdict is signed by the specialist who examined the piece.
A QR code on the piece
A hologram seal. The number on it is the record number. Scan it and the record opens.
A permanent public record
Linked from the seal on the piece. Anyone can check it, forever, even if Rinkya disappears.
From Rinkya. In Japan since 2001.
