About this piece

Nothing competes with the photograph

Nothing on the Durham competes with the photograph. The 1.8cm sterling silver band is left completely plain and polished to a high shine, so it suits a formal portrait and a family snapshot equally well. It stands portrait or landscape on an engineered black wood back, and is made in five photograph sizes, from 5×3.5 to 10×8 inches.

The plain band is ideal for engraving. Add an inscription at the top, the bottom or both when you order, and preview it in your chosen lettering before it goes to the engraver. Each frame carries a UK hallmark and arrives in a black gift box.

Care

A treated silver polishing cloth is usually enough for light tarnish; for heavier tarnish use a silver foam or cream, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid silver dip for hollow pieces. Store wrapped in acid-free tissue or a tarnish-proof bag, and keep rubber bands away from silver.

Buying advice

Choosing a photograph frame

The size named is the photograph. The Durham is made in five photograph sizes, from 5×3.5 to 10×8 inches. Measure the print, not the frame.

A plain band is the one to engrave. The 1.8cm band is left completely plain and polished, which is what suits it to an inscription — at the top, the bottom or both, previewed in your chosen lettering before it goes to the engraver.

It stands either way, and the back needs care. Portrait or landscape on an engineered black wood back, carrying a UK hallmark. Polish the silver only; the frame should not be immersed.
