Teaspoon Zodiac sign Libra 925 silver gold-plated

Anyone looking to give a gift to a Libra should know: for this sign, aesthetics are not a coincidence, but a standard. This 925 sterling silver teaspoon passes this test—the Libra symbol is gilded in the bowl, with a fully gilded handle and a niello ornament at the end that provides a striking contrast. A piece that not only functions well, but also appears perfectly balanced.

Material and craftsmanship

The bowl features the Libra symbol—two scales in equilibrium, gilded in engraving and outlined by a fine line. The handle is fully gilded and terminates in a niello ornament featuring floral vines. With niello, a black compound is fused into the engraved lines, creating a permanent bond with the silver—it is neither a print nor a coating. This hand-engraved niello is part of the Veliky Ustyug tradition from Veliky Ustyug, documented since 1683. The spoon carries the 925 hallmark.

Usage and occasions

In everyday life, the spoon serves as tableware for coffee, tea, and small portions. As a gift, it is suitable for birthdays between late September and late October, for a friendship or relationship anniversary that has remained in balance for years, or as a thank you to someone who always seeks a fair compromise. It is also an appropriate Christmas gift for a Libra with a keen sense of aesthetics.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

Since the bowl already features the Libra symbol, there is no room left for additional engraving. As a personal touch, we offer our SilberVerse card: individually designed in 15 × 10 cm landscape format, customized to the occasion and the recipient, free of charge and written individually for you. It provides the space for a dedication that the spoon itself no longer offers.

Care

Hand wash, wipe dry, and store in a dry place. Use silver polish only on the gilded surfaces, not on the niello ornament. The gold-black contrast is enhanced, rather than diminished, by regular, careful maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the significance of the Libra symbol on the spoon?
Since antiquity, the scale has represented justice, balance, and the pursuit of the right measure—traits attributed to the sign of Libra. On this teaspoon, the symbol is gilded and engraved into the bowl.

Is the spoon suitable as an autumn gift?
Yes. Libra birthdays fall between September 23 and October 22, in the middle of the golden autumn—a fitting time for a personal gift with an astrological connection.

What distinguishes niello from a gilded surface?
Niello is a dark metal alloy that is permanently fused into engraved lines. Gilded surfaces are polished silver with a gold plating. Together, both techniques create the typical contrast of this spoon.
