The word authentic we use it in our language to indicate that which has been accepted as genuine and true due to the characteristics it has, that is to say, once they have been analyzed and according to parameters that precisely establish that originality or not, something is accepted as authentic or rejected because it is not.
That declared as true after confirming its characteristics
Generally when it comes to jewelery or furniture of value, an expert on the subject is summoned to recognize whether it is an authentic piece or a replica that may pass as an original but is not really.
Replica Traffic Demands Expert Opinion
In the market there are many false replicas that want to be passed by some as true and that is why the expert eye is used to detect it.
Furthermore, at present, there is a very large market for replicas, the traffic of which is very common, with the sole purpose of deceiving people who do not have knowledge about it and who are able to disburse large amounts of money for certain parts.
In the case of jewelery and other expensive goods, authenticity is a relevant value and the one that collectors or antique dealers seek above all else when they go hunting for them.
People who are dedicated to buying and selling paintings, jewelry, art objects, among others, already have vast experience that allows them to discern when it is an original and authentic piece and when it is not.
Now, when the person likes to acquire these objects but does not have specific knowledge, it will be necessary to turn to these specialists to avoid falling into vile hands that seek to deceive and do a profitable business with the ignorance of the other.
Because of course both antiques and art objects are traditionally very expensive pieces, and then where there is the possibility of generating a great business is where scammers usually appear.
Antiques, being original and rare pieces, are priced well above contemporary and current objects and there are usually no reference values, so it is essential to have an expert hand when making a purchase of this type.
That which enjoys legalization and authorization by a competent authority
On the other hand, we use the word authentic to indicate when something is legalized or authorized by the corresponding competent authority. “My grandfather's birth certificate had to undergo several analyzes but fortunately it was found to be authentic. The passport he was carrying was not authentic and was therefore held at the airport.”
Many documents, such as those issued by notaries, must be duly authenticated to be valid and considered authentic when presented in various procedures.
In some situations, if they are not duly authenticated by the corresponding collegiate body, they are not accepted as valid and this hinders the process to be carried out.
The concept that concerns us this time has a variety of synonyms: genuine, original, legitimate, to name a few, although, without a doubt, the one we use the most is true.
We say something is true when it is true and real.
On the contrary, when something is not, that is, it is fake, it is not true and contrary to the truth above all things, we say that it is fakeMeanwhile, this is the concept that is opposed to authentic.
Sincere and genuine person
On the other hand, in common language we tend to use this term a lot when we want to express that someone is characterized by their genuineness, sincerity and by presenting zero superficiality in their way of being and acting.
The authentic individual is easy to recognize because he acts spontaneously and naturally, speaking his mind, even in contexts where his opinion might not be well received, and he is not in a pose at all.
On the contrary, the person who is not authentic and who has a tendency to fake his feelings, opinions and everything that he is and has in life is designated as false.
