How a Silver Frame Is Made, Step by Step

 Discover every stage in the creation of a solid 925 silver frame: from metal casting to hand-finishing. A journey through the excellence of Italian craftsmanship.


Behind every silver frame signed SEC OF FLORENCE lies a story of ancient gestures, precision, and passion. Each piece is born from expert hands that transform raw material into emotion.

🧪 1. Metal Casting

It begins with 999 pure silver ingots, which are melted and alloyed with a small percentage of copper to create 925 silver — strong and workable. The molten metal is poured into sheets or bars ready for processing.

✂️ 2. Cutting and Shaping

The sheets are cut with millimetric precision to form the frame’s profile. Each element is shaped by hand according to the chosen design: classic lines, floral motifs, baroque decorations, or contemporary styles.

🔨 3. Pressing on a Handcrafted Mold

Our frames are pressed using a hydraulic press onto a mold handcrafted by artisans, where hammer, chisel, and burin bring to life reliefs, textures, and unique details. Every strike is calibrated, every curve sculpted with care. And since this is always a mechanical/manual process, no two frames are ever identical — each one is truly one of a kind.

🪵 4. Assembly with Wood

Unlike other products, we don’t use soldering: the silver body is a single piece, assembled with a mahogany wood panel. The result is a harmonious, solid, and elegant object — an extraordinary piece that unites noble metal and fine wood.

✨ 5. Polishing and Protection

After careful finishing, the frame is mirror-polished and treated with an invisible anti-oxidation coating, preserving it over time without the need for aggressive maintenance.

✋ 6. The Hallmark: A Signature of Authenticity

Each frame is finally hallmarked with the “925” stamp, accompanied by the artisan’s registration number and province code. This is the guarantee of authentic solid silver, crafted in Italy.
