FakeGuard AI estimates the counterfeit risk of a gold jewellery item from a photo, and shows you the areas that weighed on its verdict. A decision aid, not a certificate.

Three verdicts. Never “certified authentic”.

A photo cannot prove that an object is authentic. When the model is not sure enough, it says so, and you can ask for a human look.

  1. Low risk · Low risk · Low risk · Low risk ·

    Low risk

    The model finds no sign of counterfeiting. This is not a guarantee of authenticity.

    r_img_732
    Source label : authentic
    Estimated probability of counterfeit : < 1%
  2. Inconclusive · Inconclusive · Inconclusive ·

    Inconclusive

    The model does not decide: the photo is outside its scope, or the score is too close to the limit.

    r_img_776
    Source label : authentic
    Estimated probability of counterfeit : 57%
  3. High risk · High risk · High risk · High risk ·

    High risk

    The model finds signs consistent with a counterfeit. Have the item checked before any decision.

    Source label : counterfeit
    Estimated probability of counterfeit : > 99%

Measured, not promised.

These figures come from the test set: 321 items the model never saw during training. In brackets, the 95% confidence interval.

The full model card

How an analysis unfolds

  1. 01

    Take the photo

    One to four sharp photos, item centred, no filter or retouching.

  2. 02

    Photo check

    A blurry, too dark or too small image is rejected before analysis, with the reason.

  3. 03

    Calibrated verdict

    The model estimates a probability of counterfeit, then decides — or abstains.

  4. 04

    Human look

    When in doubt, request a reviewer's opinion from the report.

What FakeGuard AI does not claim

We would rather write down the model's limits than let you discover them.

  1. 01The result is a statistical estimate from a photo. It replaces neither a metal assay nor a professional's opinion.
  2. 02The model learned from a single public dataset: GoldNet, 2,127 items.
  3. 03The source does not document how the authentic / counterfeit labels were established.
  4. 04The items come mostly from Iran and the Gulf market: reliability on other styles has not been measured.
  5. 05Each item has a single photo in the dataset: combining several photos has not been validated experimentally.
  6. 06The filter that rejects off-topic photos was only checked on a small informal probe.
  7. 07The setting of the photos is partly enough to separate the two classes: the model may have learned context cues rather than material ones.
