Renowned for its distinctive design and unparalleled world, Chrome Hearts captivates with its signature silver accessories, alongside leather goods and apparel that all boast immense popularity. Loved by countless celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike, the brand’s allure is undeniable. However, its soaring fame means the market is flooded with counterfeits, so caution is essential.

This edition shines a spotlight on the silver Chrome Hearts Paper Chain Bracelet, revealing how professional authenticators at SNKRDUNK distinguish real pieces from fakes. While what follows only covers a portion of the authentication process, it’s a must-read for anyone hesitant about buying in the secondary market.

About the Chrome Hearts Silver Paper Chain Bracelet

A staple of Chrome Hearts, the Paper Chain Bracelet stands out as a relatively slim and understated piece within the brand’s lineup—making it easy to incorporate into any outfit. Yet, true to Chrome Hearts’ character, every link is embossed with logos, ensuring this bracelet delivers that unmistakable signature style.

Authentication Points

▪ Clasp (Cylindrical Area)

When it comes to authenticating this item, the clasp is the primary focus. Let’s begin with the cylindrical part of the clasp’s engraving. Comparing real and fake, the font styles differ notably, with fakes featuring smaller engraving sizes. You’ll also notice differences in the depth of the engraving and the shape and dimensions of the outline.

▪ Clasp (T-shaped Opening)

Next, the T-shaped part of the clasp varies in shape and the size of the “T” itself between authentic and counterfeit items.

▪ Clasp (Hook)

Moving on to the piece that fits into the “T,” its shape is designed to match the “T” precisely. There are significant differences in both the shape and thickness between real and fake versions.

▪ Clasp (Notch)

On the clasp’s side, the notch also varies in size and shape, and fake pieces tend to have a much rougher finish.

▪ Clasp (Plate)

The plate on the clasp displays the “14K” engraving, where you can detect differences in the font style between genuine and counterfeit.

▪ Clasp (Connector)

Examining the part that connects the chain to the clasp, you can observe discrepancies in the hole size where the ring passes through, as well as variations in the shape and size of the ball that fits into the safety mechanism.

▪ Engraving

Finally, looking at the link engravings, the font and depth of the engravings differ similarly, with counterfeit links generally smaller in size per piece.

Conclusion

The authentication points mentioned here are only a part of the process. At SNKRDUNK, our expert authenticators examine numerous other factors to make a comprehensive judgment.

With counterfeit manufacturing techniques advancing every day, it has become extremely difficult for non-experts to accurately spot fakes on their own. That’s precisely why we recommend purchasing through SNKRDUNK, where you benefit from highly precise authentication conducted by professional examiners.
