Material and craftsmanship

The dessert fork is made of 925 sterling silver and is gilded. In the head of the handle, there is a white enamel field with the Taurus symbol incorporated into it — the classic astrological shorthand of a round circle and curved lines reminiscent of the animal's horns. At the lower end of the handle, a second, floral-decorated field completes the overall picture: tendrils and a blossom in a contrasting dark tone on a light background. The tines remain polished and functional, so despite the embellishment, the fork remains a utilitarian item for the set table.

Use and occasions

This dessert fork is suitable for dessert at the festive table as well as for the display cabinet when not in use. As a gift, it is particularly suitable for a Taurus' birthday, Mother's Day in May, weddings or anniversaries — wherever a gift with a personal connection to one's zodiac sign is sought. It is also a harmonious choice as an addition to an existing silverware service.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Upon request, we include a personal 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 give the gift a personal dedication, regardless of whether an engraving on the piece itself is desired.

Care

Clean by hand with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. We advise against using a dishwasher and aggressive silver polishes, as they can damage the gilding and the enamel field. With proper care, the contrast between gold and the light enamel field will remain clearly visible for a long time.
