Material and craftsmanship
The floral Astra pattern is created by deep engraving in the gold-plated 925 sterling silver, which is then filled with black niello paste. This creates the characteristic black-and-gold contrast that gives the ornament at the base of the tines and the lower handle area a three-dimensional effect. The fork is crafted by SevChern in Veliky Ustyug, one of the oldest centers of the Russian niello tradition.
Use and occasions
The dessert fork is suitable for all desserts from ice cream to mousse, as well as for appetizers and light dishes. As a gift, it is perfect for weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or as a supplement to an existing Astra Classic set. Combined with the dessert knife and dessert spoon from the same collection, it forms a complete dessert cutlery set.
Engraving and SilberVerse card
Beyond the niello ornament, additional personalized engraving is possible upon review; we will coordinate the appropriate surface area with you individually. Upon request, we can also include a personal SilberVerse card in 15 x 10 cm photo format — individually designed, tailored to the occasion, and free of charge.
Care
Clean the fork by hand washing with mild dish soap and dry it immediately afterward with a soft cloth. We advise against using a dishwasher, as it can damage the gold plating and niello inlay.
