You Bought Gold to Protect Your Wealth. Are You Sure It Is Genuine?

Sigma Metalytics PMV — The world’s most trusted personal gold authenticator

Gold has always been more than an investment in the GCC. It is savings you can hold in your hand. It is wealth passed from one generation to the next. For families across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and the wider Gulf, physical gold is part of how wealth is understood, preserved, and shared. But there is a question most personal gold investors never ask — until it is too late. How do you know the gold you bought is genuinely what it says it is?

Counterfeit gold has become increasingly sophisticated. Tungsten — a metal with almost identical density to gold — can be inserted as a core inside a gold bar and covered with genuine gold. The bar will weigh correctly, look correct, and pass surface tests. But inside, it is tungsten. The financial loss from a single fake 100g gold bar at today’s prices is significant. This is almost entirely preventable — with the right instrument.

I always buy from trusted dealers in the Gold Souk. Do I really need this?
Reputable dealers are trustworthy. The risk arises from private sales, inherited collections, online purchases, and resale situations. The PMV protects you in all these scenarios — including when you need to reassure a cautious buyer.

Is it complicated to use?
Not at all. Place, press, read. Telos provides full training with every purchase.

Can it test my gold jewelry?
The PMV is for coins and bars. For jewelry, Telos also supplies the GemOro AuRACLE PRO.

Is the PMV Original worth it at $999?
A single genuine 1 oz gold coin is worth significantly more. If one piece in your collection is counterfeit, the PMV has paid for itself — and continues protecting every future purchase.

Do I need to send it for maintenance internationally?
No. Telos handles all support locally in Dubai.
