Material and workmanship

The dessert fork is made of 925 sterling silver and is fully gold-plated—tines and handle consistently display the warm gold tone. On the fork head is a small shield-shaped field, in which the Sagittarius 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 melted into fine depressions and then permanently bonded with the silver. This technique is called niello—colloquially also known as "ink in silver"—and has been used for around 3000 years. It is not a lacquer or a print, but a chemical-physical bond with the silver that remains stable even with daily use. Over time and with regular polishing, the contrast between the dark niello and the bright gold even deepens. The hallmark on the handle confirms the silver content. As a curated piece from our selection of Russian silversmithing, this dessert fork impresses with workmanship that you can feel in your hand.

Use and occasions

This dessert fork is intended for the festive table—for dessert after a special meal, on holidays, or as an addition to existing sterling silver flatware. As a gift, it is especially suitable for people celebrating their birthday between November 22nd and December 21st: a present that goes beyond the usual because it incorporates one's own zodiac sign. This piece also suits anniversaries, the wedding of a Sagittarius couple, or as a thoughtfully chosen gesture for someone with a sense of optimism, foresight, and joy of new beginnings. For those looking to complement an existing collection of zodiac flatware, this fork is a piece that pairs well with other sterling silver from our selection.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The Sagittarius symbol and the niello ornament are permanently attached at the factory and are not part of a subsequent engraving. For a personal dedication—such as names or dates—please contact us: we will individually coordinate possible areas and implementation with the manufacturer. Regardless, upon request, we will include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format 15 × 10 cm (landscape) – individually designed, appropriate for the occasion, and currently free of charge. Each card is unique and can also serve as a standalone addition without any engraving.

Care

The gold-plated surface and the niello ornament are best cared for with a soft, dry cloth. After use, rinse by hand and rub thoroughly dry—this way, the contrast between gold and dark niello will be preserved for years. Silver polish should not be used on the niello panel, as it can attack the melted alloy; on the remaining gold-plated surfaces, a mild polishing cloth is sufficient. Stored dry and within reach, this dessert fork remains a reliable part of your sterling silver flatware.
