Material and Craftsmanship

The bowl of this dinner spoon is fully gilded – a continuous, warm gold tone without additional engraving, which speaks for itself. At the end of the handle sits a floral niello ornament: a dark silver alloy is melted into finely pre-engraved lines and permanently bonded with the silver – like ink in silver, no print, no coating. The contrast between shiny gold and the matte, dark niello pattern gives the spoon its calm, classic character. The hallmark on the handle confirms the 925 fineness.

It is also a stylish choice as a gift for parents, grandparents, or esteemed business partners.
