In a world flooded with clichés, the real “I love you” isn’t spoken — it’s engraved. A solid 925 silver frame with a hand-stamped hallmark isn’t just an object. It’s a silent, lasting declaration. It doesn’t seek attention. It earns it. It doesn’t promise. It proves. 🔍  Truth Is in the Metal, Not the Card • PVD Silver 999 is merely a surface finish: shiny, but without substance • “ 925 ” or “ 999 ” cards without a hallmark are visual shortcuts — they mislead, not certify • The ★ 1174 FI hallmark is hand-engraved , registered and traceable — the seal of authenticity • No hallmark? Then it’s not silver . It’s imitation . 🎁  When to Give a SEC OF FLORENCE Frame • When words are...

  💬 When Beauty Becomes Truth This frame isn’t just beautiful. It’s a statement engraved in metal . The 925 hallmark = official title of solid sterling silver The ★1174 FI hallmark = certified producer: SEC OF FLORENCE No printing. No coating. Just sculpted, signed, and authentic craftsmanship. ⚠️ The Truth About 999 Silver Let’s be clear: when we refer to “999 silver,” we’re not talking about legitimate pure silver. We’re exposing an industrial technique that applies less than 1 gram of 999 silver as a surface coating — often via PVD technology. This glossy layer: Cannot be stamped Is not traceable Has no real value 👉 It’s a legalised illusion that dazzles… but doesn’t last. 🧻 The “925” Label Trick Many sellers include a printed label stating “925 Silver.” But if the metal doesn’t bear a hand-stamped hallmark , the item isn’t silver. It’s an empty promise. A label can say anything. But only the metal can prove it. 🧠 The Hallmarks: Proof That Cannot Be Faked...
