Material and workmanship

The dessert fork is made of 925 sterling silver and gilded. In the head of the handle is a white enamel field with the Cancer symbol – the classic double spiral, reminiscent of two intertwined circles. At the end of the stem, a second, florally decorated enamel field completes the picture, executed in a dark contrasting tone on a light background. The tines remain smoothly polished and fully usable.

Use and occasions

Cancer birthdays fall in midsummer, a time of long evenings and outdoor dining. A dessert fork with one's own sign fits perfectly into these moments – for a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding, or as a silent gesture of appreciation to someone who cares for home and family. It is also a suitable choice as an addition to an existing table silver service.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Upon request, we include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) – individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge. It is a nice addition if you want to include a personal dedication with the gift.

Care

Clean by hand with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid dishwashers and aggressive polishing agents, as they can damage the gilding and enamel field. This will preserve the contrast between gold and the light field for years.
