Material and craftsmanship

The dessert fork is crafted from 925 sterling silver and gold-plated. The top of the handle features a white enamel inlay with the Cancer symbol — the classic double spiral, reminiscent of two intertwined circles. At the end of the stem, a second, floral-decorated enamel inlay completes the look, executed in a dark contrasting shade on a light background. The tines remain smoothly polished and fully functional.

Use and occasions

Cancer birthdays fall in midsummer, during the time of long evenings and outdoor dining. A dessert fork with one's own zodiac sign fits perfectly into these moments — for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, or as a quiet gesture of appreciation for someone who looks after their home and family. It is also a suitable choice as an addition to an existing set of silverware.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

Upon request, we can include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) — individually designed to match the occasion and free of charge. It is a lovely addition if you would like to include a personal dedication with your 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 gold plating and the enamel inlay. This will help maintain the contrast between the gold and the light-colored inlay for years to come.
