Teaspoon Zodiac sign Scorpio 925 silver gold-plated

A scorpion sees through every surface and looks at what lies beneath. This 925 sterling silver teaspoon withstands this gaze: The scorpion symbol is gold-plated and engraved into the bowl, the stem has a continuous golden sheen, and a niello ornament permanently connects with the metal at the end of the handle. No superficial effect — true substance that convinces even upon close inspection.

Material and workmanship

The scorpion symbol is engraved in the bowl — the curved stinger, gold-plated and framed by a fine line. The stem is fully gold-plated. At the end of the handle, there is a niello ornament of floral tendrils: The dark silver-copper alloy is melted into the engraved lines and chemically-physically bonds with the silver — a connection that does not rub off and does not fade. This niello hand engraving comes from the Veliky Ustyug tradition, whose first written mention in Veliky Ustyug dates back to 1683. The 925 hallmark confirms the silver content.

Usage and occasions

In everyday life, the spoon is silverware for coffee, tea, or small desserts. As a gift, it is suitable for birthdays between the end of October and the end of November, for Christmas for someone born in November, or as an anniversary gift for an intense, deep relationship. It is not a gift for superficial gestures, but for someone you want to show that you respect their depth.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Since the bowl already bears the scorpion symbol, no additional space is available for a personal engraving. As an alternative, we offer the SilberVerse card: individually designed in photo format 15 × 10 cm landscape, tailored to the occasion and recipient — currently free of charge and created as a unique piece. It carries the personal message for which the spoon itself no longer offers space.

Care

Rinse by hand, wipe dry, and store dry. Silver polish should only be applied to the gold-plated surfaces, not to the niello ornament. Those who regularly care for the spoon will find the gold-black contrast tends to increase rather than fade over time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the meaning of the scorpion symbol on the spoon?
The scorpion stands for depth, transformation, and the ability to always start anew. On this teaspoon, the symbol is gold-plated and engraved into the bowl — durable and with visible precision.

Is the spoon a suitable autumn gift?
Yes. Scorpio birthdays are between October 23 and November 21, in late autumn — a time when a personal gift with meaning is particularly valued.

What is the difference between niello and a gold-plated engraving?
Niello is a black metal alloy that is permanently melted into engraved depressions. The gold-plated areas are polished silver with a gold coating. Both together create the characteristic contrast of this spoon.
