Silver tray 925 silver gold-plated round 20 cm
Grapevine — three zones in niello and gold
About this gift
Three zones, one clear concept: gold on the outside, a ring of niello ornamentation in the middle, and gold again at the center. This round tray made of 925 sterling silver combines two ancient techniques — electrolytic gilding and niello — into a table object with a language of its own.

Material and craftsmanship
The tray thinks in zones rather than a monochrome surface. The narrow outer edge is fully gilded and highly polished — warm, rich, the first impression as soon as the piece is placed on the table. Behind it follows a wider decorative ring on a bright, natural silver background: four large, stylistically floral blossoms with curved leafy tendrils, inlaid in niello, each offset by 90 degrees and thus symmetrically distributed across the surface. Two gilded dividing rings clearly frame this zone at the top and bottom. The central field — the mirror — is again fully gilded, mirror-smooth and free of ornament; this is where the functionality of the tray lies, whether for a glass, a carafe, or a cup. Niello is a silver-sulfur alloy that is melted into engraved indentations, ground down after cooling, and polished — a rich, deep black that requires no paint or lacquer and bonds with the silver both chemically and physically. The gilding is applied electrolytically with a 0.5-micron layer of 24-karat gold — thin, yet durable precisely because the silver itself forms the supporting base.
Usage and occasions
A silver tray with this tripartite division is not a neutral gift — it has a stance. It is suitable for weddings where a lasting piece is desired, for moving into a new home, for landmark anniversaries and birthdays, or as an extraordinary Christmas gift for people for whom an ordinary object is not enough. At approx. 345 g, it has a pleasantly weighty feel in the hand — present, not flashy — and fits just as well on a modern dining table as it does on a classic sideboard.
Engraving and SilberVerse card
Engraving is possible upon review — the gilded mirror in the center offers space for a name, a date, or a short sentence. Upon request, we will include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) — individually designed to match the occasion and free of charge.
Care
A soft, dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient for daily use. No scouring powder, no ultrasonic cleaner — the niello inlays are sensitive to abrasives. A special silver and gold polishing cloth is suitable for the gilding. If not in use for a long period, store it protected from air, for example in the included gift box.
Frequently asked questions
What does 925 sterling silver mean?
925 refers to the silver purity: 92.5% fine silver.
Is an engraving on the mirror possible?
Yes, upon review. The gilded mirror in the center offers space for a name, date, or short sentence. An engraving makes the tray a unique piece, especially for wedding or anniversary gifts.
How do I care for the gilding?
The electrolytic gilding with 0.5 microns is durable but should be treated gently — no scouring powder, no acidic cleaning agents, no dishwasher. A soft cloth and occasionally a gold and silver polishing cloth are sufficient.
