Picture Frame 925 Sterling Silver Monaco — 18×18 cm, square, engravable

The large square is a format that brings calm to a shelf: 18 × 18 cm, solid 925 sterling silver, framed by a double beaded border. While portrait orientation always dictates a direction, the square stands on its own — it suits a family photo just as well as an individual portrait.

Why the large square works

Square photos are taken constantly these days — captured on a phone, cropped to a square. When printed, they usually end up in a frame that is too narrow or too tall for them. The Monaco embraces them in their own shape, in a size that makes an impact even from two meters away.

The beaded border runs in a double row: once along the outer edge, once inside around the photo opening. Between them lies a wide, highly polished surface — at this size, it is large enough for the silver to stand out as a material, rather than just as a border.

Material and craftsmanship

Crafted from 925 sterling silver, high-polish finish. With a square, the meticulousness is shown in the corners: the row of beads must finish identically on all four sides, otherwise the picture will visually tilt. Produced by Zaramella Argenti in Italy, a family business that has been crafting silver goods since 1948.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The wooden back can be securely engraved — a name, a date, a short dedication. The wide polished surface between the bead rows offers plenty of room on the silver; we engrave this after consultation with Zaramella. You can add the engraving service directly to your shopping cart, and we will discuss placement and font size with you after the order is placed. Should an engraving not be possible, we will refund the service fee.

Upon request, we include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format — individually designed to match the occasion and free of charge, even available without an engraving.

Occasions for the large Monaco

For baptisms and births, when godparents or grandparents are looking for something lasting. For the first day of school, because the photo from that day gets a place it will keep. And for milestone anniversaries, where a family photo in silver carries more meaning than a card. The smaller sister version in 10 × 10 cm can be found here.

Frequently asked questions

What photo size fits inside?

A square photo in 18 × 18 cm format.

Can the frame be engraved?

Yes: on the wooden back securely, and on the silver surface between the bead rows after consultation with Zaramella – it is particularly generous on this format. You can add the fee for this to your shopping cart via the engraving service.

Is it available in a smaller size?

Yes, in 10 × 10 cm format — the same style and same decor.

Does the silver tarnish?

Sterling silver reacts with the air and will darken over time. A soft silver polishing cloth will remove the tarnish. How best to care for children's silver is explained in our care guide.
