Picture Frame 925 Sterling Silver Rome — 15×20 cm, Beaded Edge, Engravable

Two beaded borders, one on the outer edge, one around the picture on the inside, with a curved silver surface in between that catches the light: The Rom is one of those frames you recognize by its profile, not its decoration. 15 × 20 cm, solid 925 sterling silver.

The double beaded border — a classic motif

The beaded border is one of the oldest decorative elements in European silversmithing; it can be found on Roman vessels as well as 19th-century tableware. Its effect lies in its rhythm: a row of uniform hemispheres breaks the light at regular intervals and provides structure to a smooth surface.

On the Rom, it is doubled and cradles the curved central surface like a clasp. This gives the frame depth—it looks constructed, not stamped out.

Material and craftsmanship

925 sterling silver, highly polished, hallmarked. The curvature between the rows of beads is the real feat of manufacturing: it must run evenly over the entire length, otherwise the reflection will show ripples. Crafted by Zaramella Argenti in Italy, since 1948.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The wooden back is perfect for engraving—initials, a date, or a short inscription. We can engrave the smooth, curved surface between the rows of beads subject to verification with Zaramella. The flat fee can be added directly to the shopping cart via the engraving service; we will clarify placement and font size with you after your order is placed. If an engraving is not possible, we will issue a refund.

Upon request, we can include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format—individually designed, tailored to the occasion, and free of charge, even if ordered without an engraving.

What occasions is the Rom suitable for?

For weddings and anniversaries, where the classic profile fits the occasion. For christenings as a gift from godparents looking for something timeless. And for the first day of school, when the school photo shouldn't end up in a children's frame, but in one that will move with them throughout their life.

Frequently asked questions

What photo size fits inside?

A photo in the format 15 × 20 cm.

How does it differ from the Kiel?

The Kiel has a smooth, flat edge, whereas the Rom features the double beaded border and a curved surface. This makes the Rom more substantial and gives it a more classic appearance.

Is it available in a larger size?

Yes, in the format 20 × 25 cm.

Can the frame be engraved?

Yes: on the wooden back without issue, on the curved silver surface between the rows of beads subject to verification with Zaramella. You can add the flat fee to your shopping cart via the engraving service.

Does the silver tarnish?

Sterling silver reacts with the air and darkens over time. A soft silver polishing cloth will remove the tarnish. You can find information on how to best care for children's silver in our care guide.
