Material and craftsmanship

The dessert fork is made of 925 sterling silver and is fully gold-plated — the tines and handle show the warm gold tone throughout. At the fork head is a small shield-shaped field, into which the Pisces symbol is embedded, outlined in gold on a light background. At the opposite end of the handle is an oval niello panel with a floral ornament: a dark metal alloy that is fused into fine depressions and subsequently permanently bonded to the silver. This technique is called niello — popularly known as "ink in silver" — and has been used for around 3,000 years. It is neither a lacquer nor an imprint, but a chemical-physical bond with the silver that remains even with daily use. Over time and with regular polishing, the contrast between the dark niello and the bright gold even deepens. As a curated piece from our selection of Russian silversmithing, this dessert fork impresses with a quality of workmanship you can feel in your hand.

Usage and occasions

This dessert fork is intended for the festive table — for dessert after a special meal, on holidays, or as a complement to existing silverware. As a gift, it is particularly suitable for people with birthdays between February 20 and March 19: a present that goes beyond the ordinary because it incorporates one's zodiac sign. This piece is also suitable for an anniversary, the wedding of a Pisces couple, or as a thoughtfully chosen gesture for someone with a sense of sensitivity, imagination, and deep emotional perception. Those looking to complement an existing collection of zodiac cutlery will find this fork to be a piece that pairs well with other silverware from our selection.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The Pisces symbol and the niello ornament are factory-fitted and are not part of a subsequent engraving. This piece cannot be engraved; as a personal addition, we offer a complimentary SilberVerse card. Upon request, we will include a personal SilberVerse card in 15 × 10 cm photo format (landscape) — individually designed, suited to the occasion, and free of charge. Each card is unique and is also suitable as a standalone addition without engraving.

Care

The best way to care for the gold-plated surface and the niello ornament is with a soft, dry cloth. Rinse by hand after use and rub dry carefully — this keeps the contrast between gold and dark niello preserved for years. Silver polish should not be used on the niello panel as it may attack the fused alloy; a mild polishing cloth is sufficient for the remaining gold-plated areas. Stored in a dry place and ready to hand, this dessert fork will remain a reliable part of your silverware.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Pisces symbol on this dessert fork mean?
Two arcs pointing in opposite directions, connected by a line — the classic Pisces symbol represents the union of two opposites in one sign. On this dessert fork, it appears as a fine engraving in the shield-shaped field on the fork head, outlined in gold and thus clearly visible.

For whom is this dessert fork a suitable gift?
Especially for people born between February 20 and March 19 who have a sense of sensitivity, imagination, and deep emotional perception. It is as suitable for a birthday as it is for an anniversary or as a consciously chosen gift for someone with a penchant for symbolic silverware.

What distinguishes this dessert fork from simple silver cutlery?
The combination of full gold plating, the embedded Pisces symbol, and the floral niello ornament at the end of the handle makes this piece silverware with its own character — not everyday cutlery, but a piece for special moments at the table.
