Valued & Vaulted Digital Authentication

Trusted authentication, digital ownership, and asset tracking for luxury resale

Luxury lifestyle resale increasingly extends beyond jewellery and watches to include handbags, trainers, and collectible luxury accessories. In this market, trust, provenance, and digital proof of authenticity are critical to buyer confidence, brand reputation, and long-term value.

Birmingham Assay Office’s Valued & Vaulted Digital Experience provides luxury lifestyle resellers with a secure, end‑to‑end authentication and digital ownership solution, combining independent expertise with a consumer‑friendly digital vault that supports resale, asset tracking, and optional insurance.

Your challenges...

Luxury resale businesses face growing pressure to:

  • Prove authenticity of high‑value handbags, trainers, and accessories
  • Differentiate verified stock from informal or unverified resale channels
  • Provide buyers with lasting proof of authenticity beyond point of sale
  • Reduce disputes, chargebacks, and post‑sale challenges
  • Support long‑term customer relationships, not one‑off transactions
  • Respond to increasing consumer interest in luxury as an asset

Static certificates and paper documentation no longer meet modern buyer expectations.

How Birmingham Assay Office supports you...

Valued & Vaulted – The BAO AI-Powered Digital Authentication Experience

AI Authentication Framework Accessible to Resellers

Valued & Vaulted is powered by advanced AI authentication technology, enabling approved luxury resellers to complete their own authentications directly within the BAO platform.

  • AI-driven authentication for luxury handbags, trainers, and accessories
  • Resellers authenticate items in-house using guided digital capture
  • No specialist hardware required operates via standard mobile devices
  • Consistent, scalable authentication across locations and teams

Authentication is delivered within a Birmingham Assay Office-designed framework, ensuring consistency, traceability, and trust at scale.

 

NFC Collect Cards – Proof That Travels With the Item

Each authenticated item can be issued with a Valued & Vaulted NFC Collect Card, sold with the product:

  • Secure NFC card uniquely linked to the item
  • Tap‑to‑verify authenticity via mobile phone
  • Confirms Birmingham Assay Office authentication and digital record
  • Transfers with the item if resold or gifted

This creates a physical‑digital bridge, ensuring authenticity remains attached to the item throughout its lifecycle.

 

The Digital Vault – Luxury Ownership Reimagined

Customers purchasing authenticated items gain access to their personal Digital Vault, where they can:

  • Securely store authenticated luxury items
  • Track current market value over time
  • View ownership history and authentication status
  • Manage multiple luxury possessions in one place

The Digital Vault transforms luxury purchases into visible, trackable assets, not just products.

 

Market Value Tracking & Asset Overview

  • Ongoing market value insights for authenticated items
  • Portfolio‑style view of total luxury asset value
  • Supports collectors, resellers, and asset‑aware consumers

Helping customers understand the long‑term value of their luxury possessions.

 

Optional Insurance Integration

Valued & Vaulted customers have the option to:

  • Add insurance cover to authenticated items
  • Link insurance to verified identity and market value
  • Simplify documentation and valuation for insurers

This creates a seamless path from authentication → ownership → protection.

 

How Luxury Resellers Benefit

  • Increased buyer trust and conversion
  • Differentiation through Birmingham Assay Office‑backed authentication
  • Reduced disputes and post‑sale risk
  • New revenue opportunities via NFC Collect Cards
  • Long‑term customer engagement beyond the initial sale
