Material and Craftsmanship

The floral Astra pattern is created by deep engraving in the gold-plated 925 sterling silver, which is then filled with black niello paste. This creates the characteristic black and gold contrast, which makes the ornament at the base of the tines and in the lower handle area appear three-dimensional. The fork is made by SevChern in Veliky Ustyug, one of the oldest centers of the Russian niello tradition.

Use and Occasions

The dessert fork is suitable for all desserts from ice cream to mousse, for appetizers and light dishes. As a gift, it is suitable for weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or as an addition to an existing Astra Classic set. Combined with a dessert knife and dessert spoon from the same collection, a complete dessert cutlery set is created.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Beyond the niello ornament, an additional personalized engraving is possible upon request; we will individually coordinate the suitable area with you. Upon request, we will also include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format 15 x 10 cm — individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge.

Care

Clean the fork by hand washing with mild dish soap and then immediately dry it with a soft cloth. We advise against using a dishwasher, as it can damage the gilding and niello inlay.
