Letter opener and letter tray 925 silver cardinal - Zaramella gift set with chain

This Cardinal Collection gift set is the most representative version of our letter opener sets: letter opener and letter tray made of 925 sterling silver, connected by a braided silver chain. The difference from the classic set lies in the edge of the letter tray – wider, more strongly profiled, more voluminous. A Zaramella desk ensemble that exudes weight and presence.

What do you give the CEO upon retirement, the law firm partner upon emeritus status, the company founder for the 30th anniversary? For people whose desk is a stage – not just a workplace – a gift is needed that can hold its own on this stage. This set is made for that.

What distinguishes the Cardinal Collection from the classic set

Both Zaramella letter opener sets (classic and Cardinal) are made of 925 sterling silver, highly polished, with a braided chain and engraving option. The difference lies in the letter tray:

• Classic set: narrower edge, subtle profile – elegant and understated
• Cardinal set: wider, more strongly profiled edge with more material volume – representative and weighty (approx. 290 g vs. 280 g)

The Cardinal Collection is Zaramella's premium line – more silver, more edge, more presence on the desk. For people who are not looking for the subtle, but for the representative.

Zaramella Classic Designs – pure silver form from Italy

Zaramella stands for Italian silver classic without embellishment: no ornaments, no factory engravings, no niello, no enamel. The beauty lies in the form itself – in the profiled edge, in the polished surface, in the weight that lies in the hand. A design approach that has been timeless for decades: no trend that passes.

For what occasion this set is made

For a business owner's company anniversary: 25, 30, 50 years in business – a set that will remain on the desk for decades to come. With engraving: company name and founding year.

For the farewell of an executive / law firm partner: The Cardinal set marks the rank – not a standard gift, but one that respects the hierarchy.

For the opening of a law firm / practice: On the reception desk of an established lawyer or consultant – the wide profiled edge signals seriousness without words.

For a milestone birthday (60th, 70th): For a father, mentor, or long-standing business partner.

As a VIP Corporate Gift: For business partners, supervisory board members, major clients – a price range that expresses appreciation.

Engraving upon request

The wide edge of the Cardinal letter tray offers ample space for an engraving – ideal for company names, logos, or longer dedications. The letter opener handle can also be engraved. With an engraving order, we include a free SilberVerse card (10 × 15 cm), individually inscribed with your desired text.

Care

With regular use, the polished silver surface remains shiny on its own. For light patina, a silver polishing cloth is sufficient. Clean the braided chain with a soft cloth. The profiled edge collects little dust – the wide profile is easier to maintain than filigree embellishments.

Frequently asked questions about the Cardinal Set

What distinguishes the Cardinal from the classic letter opener set?
The edge of the letter tray: wider, more strongly profiled, more material. Everything else (925 silver, chain, engraving option, Zaramella manufacturing) is identical. Cardinal is the premium line – more presence, more weight.

Is this real 925 silver?
Solid 925 sterling silver – not silver-plated base metal. The 925 silver hallmark confirms the pure silver content.

Can I have a logo and company name engraved?
Yes. The wide Cardinal edge offers particularly ample engraving space. Contact us before ordering with your engraving request.

For whom is the Cardinal set suitable instead of the classic set?
For occasions where the gift should reflect the recipient's rank: executive level, law firm partners, long-standing business relationships. The classic set is elegant and understated – Cardinal is representative and weighty.
