Material and craftsmanship
The sugar tongs are made of 925 sterling silver and finished with gold plating and fine niello decoration. Niello is a centuries-old silversmithing technique: a black inlay is melted into engraved lines, ground flush, and polished—like ink in silver—becoming a permanent part of the silver. It is not a print or a coating, but a solid bond with the metal. The warm luster of the gold plating and the dark niello lines together form the characteristic appearance of the Astra Classic collection of Russian silversmithing. The piece comes in a gift box.
Usage and occasions
The sugar tongs are the perfect accompaniment for afternoon tea, festive brunches, or formal coffee service. They serve to present sugar cubes, pastries, or small chocolates and complement any upscale tea service. As a gift, they are suitable for weddings, anniversaries, or any occasion where silverware sets a special tone—for hosts who want to refine their table, for lovers of Russian silversmithing, and for anyone who enjoys tea or coffee with style. You can find complementary pieces in our 925 silver gift ideas as well as in our tableware & silver service collection.
Engraving and SilberVerse card
Engraving is possible upon review—we recommend the back side without niello decoration so that the ornament remains untouched. Upon request, we can also include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape)—individually designed, tailored to the occasion, and free of charge.
Care
Clean only by hand with warm water and mild dish soap, then polish gently with a silver polishing cloth. Avoid dishwashers and harsh cleaners to ensure the gold plating and niello contrast are permanently preserved. Store the tongs in the included gift box or in a soft silver cloth.
