Engraved or Printed? The Truth Behind Manual Stamping vs. Cardboard Claims
In the world of silver, the difference isn’t just technical — it’s ethical.
🔨 True Stamping: When Metal Speaks
Manual stamping is an ancient, precise, and regulated process. A hardened steel punch marks the metal with force and craftsmanship, leaving a permanent, verifiable, and legal imprint.
The engraved 925 stamp is required by law
Every punch is registered and traceable
The mark lasts over time — it doesn’t fade
It’s the technical signature that certifies authenticity
👉 It’s like a passport for the object. 👉 Without stamping, silver can’t travel in truth.
🧻 Printed Cardboard: The Polished Lie
Many manufacturers insert a cardboard slip inside the frame that reads:
“Silver 925”
But the metal… isn’t stamped. Isn’t engraved. Isn’t guaranteed.
The cardboard is an unverifiable claim
It can be printed by anyone, with no oversight
It holds no legal or technical value
It’s often used to hide non-noble materials
👉 It’s like saying “I have a degree” without showing the diploma. 👉 It’s like framing a memory… in a printed lie.
