📸 Click the image and discover how silver can speak for you — without saying a single word 👉

🧠 Don’t trust printed claims. Trust the engraved metal. You’ll find “925 Silver” on countless boxes. But there’s only one way to truly know if what you’re gifting is genuine:

Look for the 925 hallmark engraved by hand into the metal.

Not printed on cardboard. Not told in words. Engraved. By hand. As required by law.

🛡️ What does it mean to engrave “925” on metal? The “925” hallmark isn’t decorative — it’s an official certification granted solely to those selling solid silver, after strict checks by:

✔️ The Police ✔️ The Chamber of Commerce

💣 Engraving “925” on an item that isn’t solid silver constitutes a criminal offence. ➤ It’s forgery. ➤ It’s fraud. ➤ Punishable under law.

So: if you see “925” engraved alongside the hallmark ★1174 FI, you can trust it. If not? It’s not silver — and holds no value.

❌ The Two Most Common Fakes

“999 Silver” applied via vapour ➤ A technique known as physical vapour deposition, leaving less than one gram of pure silver on the surface. ➤ It’s not genuine silver. ➤ It has no lasting value. ➤ Just surface-level shine.

Cardboard marked with “925” ➤ It’s a print. A slogan. A promise. ➤ But unless the metal bears a hand-engraved mark, it’s not silver. ➤ And the seller is trying to make you believe something they can’t prove.
