925 Sterling Silver Ruler — 11 cm, with pommel, engravable

A solid sterling silver ruler is not a desk accessory, but a tool to keep. 11 centimeters, 20 grams, an etched scale on both sides, and a turned knob in the middle that allows it to be lifted without touching the edge.

The small format — designed for a child's hand

Eleven centimeters sounds small, but it's exactly the length that fits into a pencil case and that guides a child's hand securely. The knob in the middle has a practical function: it keeps fingers away from the measuring edge, so the line stays straight.

For a school child, it is the first tool that is not made of plastic. It doesn't break, doesn't bend, and doesn't lose its scale — unlike any ruler that survives in a school bag.

Material and workmanship

925 sterling silver, highly polished, with hallmark. The centimeter scale is etched, not printed: it is set in the metal and remains legible even after years. Manufactured by Zaramella Argenti in Italy, a family business since 1948.

Engraving and SilverVerse Card

The smooth back offers space for an engraving — a name, the date of the first day of school. We carry out engravings on request; please contact us before ordering.

On request, we can include a personal SilverVerse card in photo format — individually designed, suitable for the occasion and currently free of charge, also available without engraving.

What occasion is the silver ruler suitable for?

For school enrollment, it is the most obvious silver gift there is — and at the same time, one that no one else gives. Also for changing schools and for passing an exam. Later, it moves from the school bag to the desk and stays there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the scale accurate?

Yes, an etched centimeter scale over the full length, readable on both sides.

Does the silver scratch when used?

Sterling silver is a soft precious metal and develops a fine patina over the years. Many consider this a virtue — you can see that the piece has been used.

Can it be engraved?

Yes, on request, on the smooth back.

Is the ruler also available longer?

Yes, in 21 cm and 31 cm.
