For those born under the sign of Virgo (August 23 – September 22), this 925 sterling silver spoon features the Virgo symbol in its gold-plated bowl: finely engraved, filled with gold, and framed by a serene silver edge. At the end of the handle, a matte black niello floral ornament provides a counterpoint to the warm gold tone of the stem. A piece for birthdays in late summer that, after the first festive dessert, will not disappear into a drawer, but remain in the display cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 925 sterling silver, gold-plated, with niello inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLength approx. 168 mm, width approx. 39 mm (bowl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWeight approx. 46 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eZodiac sign: Virgo (August 23 – September 22)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eElement: Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFineness: 925 sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGift box included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spoon is made of 925 sterling silver and is gold-plated on the bowl and stem. In the bowl, you can recognize the standing figure holding the typical sheaf of grain, the classic representation of the zodiac sign — executed as a fine engraving and filled with gold, so that the motif stands out clearly from the shimmering silver base of the bowl. The entire stem bears the same warm gold tone. At the end of the handle, where the hand holds the spoon, there is a floral ornament in the niello technique: a black inlay that is fused into the engraved lines, ground flush, and polished — like ink in silver — not a lacquer, not a coating, but a permanent bond that lasts for generations and tends to deepen rather than fade with polishing. This niello technique has its roots in Veliky Ustyug silversmithing, the first written mention of which dates back to 1683; the SevChern manufactory continues this tradition to this day. The niello inlay is firmly bonded to the silver and is made for daily use at the dining table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAstrologically, Virgo stands for precision, clear judgment, and a sense for the authentic. These qualities resonate in the motif without the need for a single word: in ancient mythology, the Virgo represents Demeter and her daughter Persephone, symbols of harvest and transformation. Anyone giving a gift to a person with this zodiac sign is providing them with a piece that seems tailor-made for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUsage and occasions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a dessert spoon, this piece finds its place at the festive menu, for Sunday cake, or for chocolate mousse at an anniversary — anywhere a spoon is allowed to be more than just a tool. It is particularly suitable as a gift for those born under Virgo, for birthdays in late summer. It is equally suitable for a confirmation, an anniversary, as a wedding gift for a couple with this zodiac sign, or as a godchild gift with a personal connection. People who appreciate detail will find in this spoon a gift that lasts beyond the occasion — as a collector's item in their own zodiac series or as the start of a complete cutlery set with the same motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEngraving and SilberVerse card\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bowl already carries the gold-plated zodiac symbol, the stem is fully gold-plated, and the handle end shows the niello ornament — an additional engraving would damage these three surfaces and is therefore not part of our standard service. For those who still wish to add a personal touch to the gift, we recommend the SilberVerse card: a digitally designed photo card in landscape format (15 × 10 cm), available free of charge upon request with every order, individually tailored to the occasion, and a beautiful counterpart to the zodiac motif on the spoon itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand washing with a mild detergent and immediate dry-polishing best preserve the luster and contrast.

Instead, a dense network of blossoms, leaves, and tendrils spreads across the entire bowl, each line engraved into the silver by hand, the black niello alloy subsequently melted into the grooves by flame and chemically-physically bonded with the silver. Between the black tendrils, the gold shines through like light through a canopy of leaves. This principle of full-surface engraving holds its own weight in Russian silversmithing: there is no empty field where uncertainty could hide; every square centimeter of the bowl is designed. This makes this chalice the most elaborate in the line — and, at approx. 233 g, also the heaviest. The interior is completely gilded with fine gold, as are the rim and base ring; this imparts no metallic taste to the beverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUse and occasions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith approx. 230 ml, this goblet offers room for a generous red wine, a full-bodied white wine, or a balm that needs space to breathe. At Ø 76 mm, it is wider than the smaller chalices in the line, giving the wine more surface area to unfold. On a festive table, at a Christmas dinner or New Year's Eve party, this goblet becomes an eye-catcher — not through volume, but because the dense ornamentation casts shadows in the candlelight and shifts between silver and gold depending on the angle of the light. For a silver wedding anniversary, 925 silver is a natural gift choice, and for the wedding itself, such a chalice is a toast that will be remembered; can also be ordered as a pair by arrangement.

Over time, as the silver is polished, the contrast between the dark niello and the bright silver deepens — the bowl becomes more expressive with the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsage and occasions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thoughtful detail is hidden in the lid: an opening on the edge that fits standard sugar spoons universally. This keeps the bowl ready for serving at all times without needing to remove the lid. With a capacity of 160 ml, it is sufficient for a sociable coffee or mocha afternoon. The Peonia line includes a matching mocha cup (60 ml) — both from the same SevChern workshop, with identical peony niello and the same trumpet base, together forming a harmonious mocha set for two.

In the lower third of the wide, shallow bowl runs an ornamental band of large blossoms with fanned leaves and a spiral center, accompanied by acanthus leaves and swirling scrollwork. This design is created through niello, one of the oldest metalworking techniques in the world: niello is a black inlay that is fused into hand-engraved lines, ground flat, and polished — like ink in silver. The result cannot be rubbed off and does not fade — on the contrary, the contrasts deepen with every polishing. The stem and base remain intentionally undecorated: polished silver that leaves the stage to the ornamental band. The base features concentric grooves, providing the piece with additional stability. SevChern crafts these niello works in Veliky Ustyug, where the technique has been documented since 1683 — a workshop with long-standing experience in the craft.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eUsage and occasions\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e160 milliliters is the classic size for a single portion: chocolate mousse, vanilla sorbet, panna cotta, or zabaglione find enough space in the wide coupe shape to spread out, allowing the broad rim to reveal the dessert.

As a gift, this dessert bowl is suitable for milestone birthdays, weddings and silver wedding anniversaries, jubilees, and honors that deserve more than just a certificate. Anyone who puts two coupes together for an evening with a set table creates a small ritual out of it.

Two traditions, one piece: Japanese aesthetics meet Northern Russian silversmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaterial: 925 sterling silver, partially gold-plated, with niello\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCollection: SAKURA, cherry blossom motif\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCapacity: 140 ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiameter: 94 mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeight: 45 mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeight: 130 g\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShape: Piala, handleless, conical\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNiello motif: Cherry blossoms, birds and tendrils, hand-engraved\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePurity: 925 sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngraving: Possible upon review\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGift box: Included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMaterial and craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis piala is made of solid 925 sterling silver; the entire wall thickness consists of the silver alloy. The gilding is applied partially — on the inside and outside of the wall as a warm background for the niello motif. The cherry blossom motif of the SAKURA collection was engraved into the silver by hand: cherry blossom branches with birds, every line individually etched, every depression filled with black niello, fused, sanded flush, and polished — like ink in silver. The result is insolubly bonded with the metal, not a paint, print, or foil. On the gold-plated silver, the deep black niello appears particularly high-contrast — the warm gold of the background makes the blossoms and birds stand out visually. The piece comes from SevChern in Veliky Ustyug and is hallmarked.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eUsage and occasions\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA piala is a handleless drinking vessel from Central Asian and Russian tea culture, related to the Chinese tea bowl and the Japanese chawan.

In Japan, the cherry blossom motif represents spring, transient beauty, and new beginnings, making this piala a fitting gift for a wedding. It is equally suitable for a silver wedding anniversary, an anniversary, or a milestone birthday for tea lovers, collectors of Russian silver art, and anyone who appreciates the Sakura motif.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eEngraving and SilberVerse card\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn engraving with a date or initials is possible after checking — the flat fee for the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gravur-service-20-zeichen\"\u003eengraving service\u003c\/a\u003e belongs in your cart right away.

The silver holder protects the delicate porcelain from breakage and carries the artistic side of the cup: a hand-engraved flower band in deep niello black, from which a single flower stands out in radiant gold. This selective gilding is technically demanding—after the niello engraving, the flower in question is provided with a protective layer before the niello mass is inlaid into the remaining engravings; subsequently, the protective layer is removed and the flower is gold-plated separately. The V-shaped rim, the handle, and the base are additionally fully finished in high-gloss gold—a difference from the Astra Classic, where only individual elements are gold-plated. The porcelain is structured with vertical grooves in the upper area, which also regulate heat dissipation, and sits securely in the holder in the lower, smooth section.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eUsage and occasions\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith 130 ml, the Astra Gold teacup is designed for a classic cup of tea—not too big, not too small, made for the mindful tea moment.

Two gilded dividing rings clearly frame this zone at the top and bottom. The central field — the mirror — is again fully gilded, mirror-smooth and free of ornament; this is where the functionality of the tray lies, whether for a glass, a carafe, or a cup. Niello is a silver-sulfur alloy that is melted into engraved indentations, ground down after cooling, and polished — a rich, deep black that requires no paint or lacquer and bonds with the silver both chemically and physically.

Three golden bands structure the form: one above the decorative frieze, one below, and a third at the base. Between these lines lies a wide frieze of niello arabesques that extends symmetrically around the entire body—palmettes and lotus blossoms, crafted in a geometric-floral style, with a clear contrast between black niello, bright silver, and golden accents.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe stopper bears its own motif: a small, independent lotus niello on a gilded background, which does not simply repeat the pattern of the bottle, but is composed in its own right. The niello inlay is hand-engraved and then filled with the dark niello mass, planed, and polished—like ink in silver, no lacquer and no coating. The Couronne is crafted by SevChern in Veliky Ustyug, where the art of niello has been documented since 1683; each piece undergoes around 15 work steps there, from shaping to polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eUsage and occasions\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e270 ml is less than half a bottle of wine—deliberately so, for the Couronne is not intended for large pours, but for fruit brandy, liqueur, or cognac that deserves a worthy vessel.

An exceptionally good olive oil or mild balsamic vinegar can also be served in it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a gift, the Couronne is suitable for occasions with a personal character: for a milestone birthday, a promotion, as a wedding gift for a couple who sets their table with meaning, or as an anniversary gift for business partners.
