Material and craftsmanship

The dessert fork is made of 925 sterling silver and is fully gold-plated — tines and handle consistently show the warm gold tone. On the fork head is a small shield-shaped field in which the Sagittarius symbol is embedded, outlined in gold on a light background. At the opposite end of the handle is an oval niello panel with a floral ornament: a dark metal alloy that is fused into fine recesses and then permanently bonded to the silver. This technique is called niello — popularly known as "ink in silver" — and has been used for about 3,000 years. It is neither a lacquer nor an imprint, but a chemical-physical bond with the silver that remains even with daily use. Over time and with regular polishing, the contrast between the dark niello and the bright gold even deepens. The fork is hallmarked. As a curated piece from our selection of Russian silversmithing, this dessert fork impresses with a quality you can feel in your hand.

Use and occasions

This dessert fork is intended for the festive table — for dessert after a special meal, on holidays, or as a complement to existing silverware. As a gift, it is particularly suitable for people whose birthday falls between November 22 and December 21: a present that goes beyond the ordinary because it incorporates one's own zodiac sign. This piece also suits an anniversary, the wedding of a Sagittarius couple, or as a thoughtful gesture for someone with a sense of optimism, vision, and a joy for new beginnings. Anyone wishing to add to an existing collection of zodiac cutlery will find this fork to be a piece that pairs well with other silverware from our selection.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The Sagittarius symbol and the niello ornament are factory-fitted and not part of a subsequent engraving. This piece cannot be engraved; as a personal addition, a free SilberVerse card is available. Regardless, we are happy to include a personal SilberVerse card in 15 × 10 cm photo format (landscape) upon request — individually designed, tailored to the occasion, and free of charge. Each card is created just for you and your occasion and also serves as a standalone addition without any engraving.

Care

The best way to care for the gold-plated surface and the niello ornament is with a soft, dry cloth. Rinse by hand after use and dry thoroughly — this preserves the contrast between the gold and the dark niello for years. Silver polish should not be used on the niello panel, as it may attack the fused alloy; a mild polishing cloth is sufficient for the remaining gold-plated surfaces. Stored in a dry place and ready to hand, this dessert fork will remain a reliable part of your silverware.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this dessert fork suitable for as a gift?
Especially for people born between November 22 and December 21 who have a sense of optimism, vision, and joy for new beginnings. It is suitable for birthdays as well as anniversaries or as a deliberately chosen gift for someone with a penchant for silverware with symbolism.

What distinguishes this dessert fork from simple silver cutlery?
The combination of full gold plating, the inlaid Sagittarius symbol, and the floral niello ornament at the end of the handle makes this piece a work of silverware with its own character — not everyday cutlery, but a piece for special moments at the table.
