5 mistakes to avoid when buying a silver frame: a guide for those who seek true elegance

 Discover the 5 most common mistakes when buying a silver frame. Avoid scams, choose only hallmarked and authentic products. Elegance isn’t an illusion — it’s signed SEC OF FLORENCE.

Buying a silver frame should be a gesture of taste, elegance, and value. Yet more and more people fall into well-crafted traps.

Frames that look precious but aren’t. Labels that say “Silver 999” but hide anodized aluminum. Cards that say “Silver 925” without any hallmark on the metal.

Here are the 5 most common mistakes to avoid.

❌ 1. Trusting only the label

Many products display “Silver 999” or “Silver 925” on an inner card, but have no hallmark engraved on the metal. 👉 If there’s no “925” stamp, it’s not solid silver. Period.

❌ 2. Confusing “silver effect” with real silver

Some frames are made of anodized aluminum, with a microscopic silver vapor layer. The result? An object that shines briefly but has no real value.

❌ 3. Ignoring the importance of the hallmark

A genuine 925 silver frame must be hallmarked with:

• The number “925”

• The manufacturer’s code (e.g. “★1174 FI”)

Without these, there is no guarantee, no traceability, no authenticity.

❌ 4. Overlooking secondary materials

A quality frame isn’t just about silver. It also includes:

• A back made of noble wood, not plastic

• Handcrafted finishing

• Invisible anti-tarnish protection

Every detail matters.

❌ 5. Thinking “all frames are the same”

No, they’re not. A SEC OF FLORENCE frame is:

• Made of solid 925 silver

• Hand-finished in Florence

• Hallmarked, guaranteed, certified

• A work of art that lasts

✅ In summary: how to choose well

✔️ Look for the “925” hallmark ✔️ Check the manufacturer’s code ✔️ Inspect materials and craftsmanship ✔️ Be wary of vague labels ✔️ Choose those who work with transparency and passion
