Teaspoon Zodiac sign Gemini 925 silver gold-plated

Geminis love things with a story — something that shows more than its surface promises. This sterling silver teaspoon does just that: The Gemini symbol is gold-plated and engraved into the bowl, the stem has a continuous golden shimmer, and at the end of the handle is a niello ornament that gives the piece depth and contrast. A gift that sparks conversation — and that's precisely why it resonates with this sign.

Material and workmanship

The Gemini symbol is engraved in the bowl — two parallel lines with connecting crossbars, gold-plated and framed by a fine border line. The stem is fully gold-plated. At the end of the handle, a niello ornament with floral tendrils completes the picture: The dark silver-copper alloy is melted into the engraved lines and chemically bonds with the metal — without lacquer, without abrasion. This niello hand engraving comes from the Veliky Ustyug tradition, documented in Veliky Ustyug since 1683. The 925 hallmark confirms the silver content.

Use and occasions

As a teaspoon for coffee, tea, or a small dessert, the piece belongs to adult flatware. As a gift, it's suitable for birthdays between late May and mid-June, for an outdoor summer party, for Father's Day in June, or as a graduation gift for someone who has just accomplished something significant. Geminis appreciate gifts that offer talking points — niello hand engraving and zodiac symbolism provide plenty of those.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Since the bowl already bears the Gemini symbol, there is no additional space for a personal engraving. As an addition, 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 produced as a unique item. It carries the personal message for which the spoon itself no longer has space.

Care

Rinse by hand, wipe dry, store dry. Use silver polish only on the gold-plated areas, not on the niello ornament. Properly cared for, the gold-black contrast remains vibrant for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Gemini symbol on the spoon mean?
The two pillars of the symbol stand for duality, communication, and the ability to adopt different perspectives simultaneously. On this teaspoon, the symbol is gold-plated and engraved into the bowl.

For which occasions is this spoon particularly suitable?
Geminis have birthdays between May 21st and June 20th — making the spoon suitable for birthdays in early summer, as well as for Father's Day in June or as a personal thank you.

What distinguishes niello from a gold-plated engraving?
Niello is a dark metal alloy that is permanently melted into engraved depressions. Gold-plated surfaces are polished silver with a gold coating. Both techniques together create the characteristic contrast of this spoon.
