Teaspoon Zodiac sign Libra 925 silver gold-plated

Anyone looking to gift a Libra should know: aesthetics are not a coincidence for this sign, but a standard. This teaspoon made of 925 sterling silver passes this test — the Libra symbol gilded in the bowl, a continuously gilded handle, and a niello ornament at the end of the handle that provides contrast. A piece that not only functions but also appears harmonious.

Material and Craftsmanship

The bowl features the Libra symbol — two scales in balance, gilded and engraved, framed by a fine line. The stem is fully gilded and terminates at the end of the handle in a niello ornament with floral tendrils. The black silver-copper alloy in niello is melted into the engraved lines, forming a strong bond with the silver — no print, no coating. This niello hand engraving is part of the Veliky Ustyug tradition, documented since 1683. The 925 hallmark confirms the silver content.

Use and Occasions

In everyday life, the spoon serves as tableware for coffee, tea, and small portions. As a gift, it is suitable for birthdays between late September and late October, for a friendship or relationship anniversary that has been in balance for years, or as a thank-you to someone who always seeks fair compensation. It is also suitable as a Christmas gift for a Libra with a fine sense of aesthetics.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Since the bowl already bears the Libra symbol, there is no room for an additional engraving. As a personal addition, we offer the SilberVerse card: individually designed in photo format 15 × 10 cm landscape, suitable for the occasion and recipient, currently free and custom-made. It takes over the dedication for which the spoon itself no longer has space.

Care

Rinse by hand, wipe dry, store dry. Use silver polish only on the gilded surfaces, not on the niello ornament. The gold-black contrast becomes more beautiful rather than weaker with regular, careful care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the meaning of the Libra symbol on the spoon?
Since antiquity, the scales have stood for justice, balance, and the pursuit of the right measure — qualities attributed to the sign of Libra. On this teaspoon, the symbol is gilded and engraved into the bowl.

Is the spoon suitable as an autumn gift?
Yes. Libra birthdays fall between September 23rd and October 22nd, in the middle of golden autumn — a fitting time for a personal gift with astrological relevance.

What distinguishes niello from a gilded surface?
Niello is a dark metal alloy that is permanently melted into engraved lines. Gilded surfaces are polished silver with a gold plating. Together, both techniques create the typical contrast of this spoon.
