Material and workmanship

The dessert fork is made of 925 sterling silver and is gold-plated. The top of the handle features a white enamel panel into which the Taurus symbol is worked — the classic astrological shorthand consisting of a circle and curved lines reminiscent of the animal's horns. At the bottom end of the handle, a second, floral-ornamented panel completes the overall appearance: tendrils and a blossom in a contrasting dark tone on a light background. The tines remain brightly polished and functional, ensuring that the fork remains a utilitarian object for the set table despite its ornamentation.

Usage and occasions

This dessert fork is suitable for dessert at a festive table as well as for display in a cabinet when not in use. As a gift, it is particularly fitting for a Taurus birthday, Mother's Day in May, weddings, or anniversaries — anywhere a gift with a personal connection to one's zodiac sign is desired. It is also a harmonious choice as an addition to an existing set of silverware.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

Upon request, we can include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) — individually designed, suited to the occasion, and free of charge. This piece cannot be engraved; the free SilberVerse card serves as a personal addition.

Care

Clean by hand with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. We advise against using a dishwasher and aggressive silver polishes, as they can damage the gold plating and the enamel panel. With proper care, the contrast between the gold and the light enamel panel will remain clearly visible for a long time.
