💭 Not everything that glitters is silver. And not all silver is worth its shine.

In the world of picture frames, appearances deceive. Too often, what’s sold as “silver” is just a shiny disguise. The first culprit? PVD Silver 999 — a technique that deposits less than a gram of pure silver onto a surface, making it look valuable. But the actual worth? Virtually zero.

The second trick is more subtle: cards labeled “Sterling Silver 925.” They seem like a guarantee, but look closely at the metal… there’s no hand-stamped 925 hallmark. And without that mark, there’s no truth. Just marketing.
