Gifts with symbolic power – for birth, christening & collectors
A silver zodiac sign is more than just a decorative motif – it's a personal symbol reflecting character and life path. Especially as a birth or christening gift, it symbolizes protection, good fortune, and individuality. For collectors, these pieces represent cultural depth and masterful craftsmanship.
Each design is crafted using traditional techniques: hand-engraved, inlaid with niello, and finely polished. Some designs also feature gilded details – such as a sun, star, or animal – to emphasize their symbolism.

Craftsmanship in Niello & Silver
Our zodiac collection is crafted in a Russian workshop where the niello technique has been practiced for centuries. In this process, a black silver alloy is fired into finely engraved lines, creating vibrant reliefs with captivating depth. Each piece is unique, making the moment of giving unforgettable.
✨ Personalization & SilverVerse Card
Many products can be personalized with an engraving – a name, date, or short message. Alternatively, you can include a SilverVerse card – poetically designed to complement the symbolism of the animal sign.
