💭 Not all that glitters is silver. But what’s genuine, reflects. In the world of photo frames, elegance alone isn’t enough. Authenticity matters. More and more UK consumers are misled by PVD coatings or printed cards claiming “925 silver” without any real proof. But real silver isn’t printed on paper. It’s engraved in metal.

🔍 PVD 999: When Coating Becomes Illusion PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) applies less than 1 gram of pure silver to a surface. The result? An object that looks valuable but is worth no more than a generic frame. It’s a legal illusion: the customer believes they’re buying silver, but they’re only getting appearance.

📦 “925 Cards”: The Subtle Trick Some frames include a card that says “925 Silver” inside the packaging. But the metal itself has no engraved hallmark. No hallmark means no silver. Just marketing.

🛡️ How to Recognise Genuine Silver ✔️ Look for the manually engraved “925” hallmark ✔️ Verify the official ★1174 FI stamp ✔️ Be wary of vague labels, cards, and descriptions ✔️ Choose transparent makers like SEC OF FLORENCE

🎁 When a Gift Is Also an Ethical Choice 👶 For new life, choose truth 💍 For love, choose authenticity 🎓 For achievement, choose respect 💔 For remembrance, choose real light
