Table Icon Guardian Angel 925 Silver — Enamel, Niello, Gilded

A guardian angel watching over you — not as a picture on the wall, but as a silver piece on the table. The Guardian Angel table icon made of 925 sterling silver depicts the angel in polychrome enamel painting: a young face with a halo, blue robes, golden wings, hands folded in prayer. Framed by an oval silver frame with a wavy edge, niello ornamentation, and gilding. On the back, a delicate golden floral ornament on polished silver. Supported by a turned stem on a round base with a wide niello band. 167 millimeters high, 149.5 grams heavy, and with an aura that transforms the space it occupies.

Enamel Painting on Silver — the Guardian Angel in Color

The centerpiece of the icon is the oval enamel image. The guardian angel is not printed, not glued — it is painted in enamel, applied layer by layer and fired. The blue of the robes, the gold of the wings, the warm brown of the hair, the glowing halo — each color is a separate enamel layer processed individually. The result is an image that glows like a stained-glass window and retains its colors for decades. Enamel does not fade, does not yellow, and requires no special care. The angel will look the same in twenty years as it does today.

The frame around the enamel image is made of 925 silver with a wavy, floral-shaped edge — gilded and adorned with fine niello ornaments. The ornaments flow in curved lines around the image and give the frame a vibrancy that goes far beyond a simple gold rim. In front, the angel in color; on the back, a symmetrical golden floral ornament on polished silver — the back is also a piece of jewelry.

Stem and Base — Niello Hand Engraving like on Grand Pieces

The turned stem connects the icon image to the base. Polished silver with gilded rings — slender, elegant, and proportioned so that the icon stands stably while appearing light. The round base features a wide band of niello hand engraving: dark floral ornaments on silver with gold accents, in the same style as the Svetlica candlestick and the Nielloa table mirror. A piece from the same family — together on a dresser or side table, they form a cohesive ensemble.

For what occasions this icon is suitable

Baptism: The guardian angel as a companion for a new life. A table icon for baptism is a gift that lasts — not in a cupboard, but on the bedside table, on the dresser, in the nursery. Also suitable: Silver Baptism Gifts.

First Communion and Confirmation: The transition to a conscious life of faith — a moment that deserves a gift with depth, not just a card with money.

Protection and Blessing: For someone traveling, starting a new chapter, going through a difficult time. The guardian angel as a silent companion — visible, tangible, present every day.

Personal Gift: For the grandmother, the mother, the godmother — people who combine faith and beauty. A gift that doesn't need to be explained, because it is immediately understood.
