  🧪 What Is PVD 999? “PVD” stands for Physical Vapor Deposition — a process that applies less than 1 gram of pure silver (999) to the surface of an object. It’s not a silver frame. It’s a frame coated with a thin layer of silver. A shiny trick. A polished illusion. 🧻 What Does the Customer Actually Buy? ❌ Not solid silver ❌ Not a hallmarked piece ❌ Not a work of art ❌ Not real value 👉 What they receive is an anonymous base , often made of common metal, covered by a superficial film that merely imitates silver. ⚠️ Why Is It a Legalised Scam? Because sellers label it “silver 999” — and technically, they’re not lying. But they don’t disclose that it’s PVD — an invisible coating, not workable, not hallmarkable. It’s like selling a plastic frame… with a splash of silver-scented perfume. 🖼️ And Then There’s This: The SEC OF FLORENCE Frame Take a look at the frame you’ve just seen: Solid 925 silver , sculpted and hallmarked Engraved signature : “SEC OF FLORENCE – SIN...
