925 Sterling Silver Saint Michel Photo Frame — 15×20 cm, oval, engravable

An oval of 15 × 20 cm is no longer just an accessory frame — it is the centerpiece around which a shelf is styled. The large Saint Michel holds a portrait in 925 sterling silver, framed by a delicate beaded border.

Why a large oval makes a difference

The larger an oval frame becomes, the more clearly its unique character emerges: the curve takes away the severity that a large rectangle always has on a wall or shelf. A family portrait in this format feels warmer and less formal as a result.

The beaded border forms the transition between the curved silver surface and the picture opening. At this size, it runs for a significantly longer distance — the uniformity of the beads is the quality hallmark here that distinguishes good work from mediocre work.

Material and craftsmanship

925 sterling silver, high-gloss polished, hallmarked. Manufactured by Zaramella Argenti in Italy, a family business since 1948. The design remains understated: a decorative edge, otherwise a serene surface.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The wooden back can be engraved securely — in this format, also with a name and date. We can engrave the wide, polished silver surface after consultation with Zaramella. With the engraving service in the shopping cart, everything necessary is covered; we will coordinate placement and font size after the order. If an engraving is not possible, you will receive a refund for the fee.

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

What occasions is the large Saint Michel suitable for?

For a baptism as a godparent gift that will remain on display for decades. For a wedding, where an oval couple portrait has a special touch. And for milestone birthdays, when a photo from the family history is reframed. The smaller oval in the 10 × 15 cm format can be found here.

Frequently asked questions

What photo size fits inside?

A photo in 15 × 20 cm format, centered, as the oval cutout trims the corners.

Does the frame stand vertically or horizontally?

It is designed for portrait orientation — which corresponds to the classic portrait style.

Does it go well with the rectangular frames in the range?

Yes. A group of oval and rectangular silver frames looks more vibrant than a row of uniform formats.

Can the frame be engraved?

Yes: securely on the wooden back, and on the wide, polished silver surface after consultation 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 removes the tarnish. How best to care for children's silver can be found in our care guide.
