💭 True elegance doesn’t shout. It’s recognised. In a market full of shiny promises, SEC OF FLORENCE defends the real deal. Because a photo frame isn’t just decoration—it honours what it protects.

🔍 PVD 999 Silver: Gloss with No Substance PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) applies less than 1g of pure 999 silver to generic materials. It looks luxurious but has no true value.

📌 A frame coated in PVD 999 isn’t silver—it’s a glittering disguise. This technique is often legally sold as silver, but it’s misleading.

📦 “925” Paper Tags Without Hallmarks: Printed Deception A common trick: slipping in a card marked “925 Silver” without an engraved hallmark on the metal itself. Genuine 925 silver always bears an official stamp. No hallmark, no silver.

❌ A printed tag proves nothing. The hallmark is what counts.
