The True Story of SEC OF FLORENCE: The Value of the 925 and ★1174 FI Hallmarks and What They Truly Certify
💬 Two Hallmarks. One Truth.
In the world of silver, shining isn’t enough — you must prove it. And proof isn’t a label, a print, or a promise. It’s a hand-stamped hallmark, recognised by the State, that declares:
“This is solid silver. This was made by someone who knows how.”
SEC OF FLORENCE engraves two official hallmarks on every frame:
925 → indicates the silver grade: 92.5% pure
★1174 FI → identifies the maker: SEC OF FLORENCE, Florence
🧪 What the 925 Hallmark Certifies
The 925 hallmark is the millesimal proof that the item is made of solid silver, not plated. It means:
The metal contains 925 parts per 1000 of pure silver
It complies with Italian and European standards
It can be legally stamped
It holds real value, not just aesthetic appeal
Without an engraved 925 hallmark, there’s no certainty of the metal. Printing “925” on a card means nothing.
🏛️ What the ★1174 FI Hallmark Certifies
The ★1174 FI hallmark is the official signature of SEC OF FLORENCE. Issued by the Police Department and physically engraved by the Chamber of Commerce, it certifies:
Who made the item
Where it was produced (FI = Florence)
That the maker is registered and authorised
It’s like an identity card etched into the metal. Every SEC frame can be traced, verified, and defended.
🧾 The Official Process: How a Hallmark Is Born
To obtain these hallmarks, SEC OF FLORENCE followed a rigorous procedure:
Application to the Police → verifying the maker’s identity and reliability
Approval by the Chamber of Commerce → assignment of the ★1174 FI code
Creation of the physical hallmark → engraved on a copper plate and officially archived
Mandatory use of that exact stamp → if damaged, the process must be repeated
No alternative hallmarks are permitted. Only those registered and archived are legal.
💬 What Our Customers Say

🎯 Why These Hallmarks Matter
925 → certifies the metal
★1174 FI → certifies the maker
Both are engraved, not printed
Both are registered, not invented
Both are mandatory for those who speak the truth
SEC OF FLORENCE doesn’t use them for fashion. We use them because they’re the only legal and authentic way to say:
“This is silver. This is ours. This is real.”
🛍️ Conclusion: A Hallmark Isn’t a Detail. It’s Proof.
If it’s stamped, it’s real. If it’s printed, it’s fake. If it’s SEC OF FLORENCE… it’s Florence carved in silver.
