What makes this Leo zodiac set special
The set includes everything for a small coffee break: a teaspoon for your cup, and a dessert spoon and fork for your cake. The bowl of both spoons features the same gold-plated lion with a mane, scaled down for the teaspoon. The fork displays the lion symbol on a shield below the tines. The handles are finished with niello flowers, and the stems are gold-plated.
The Lion: Fire at the end of summer
Birthdays from July 23rd to August 23rd fall under the fire sign of Leo. Legend identifies it as the Nemean Lion, which was defeated by Heracles.
For whom and when
The classic occasion is a birthday in summer. It also makes a wonderful Christmas gift to place under the tree, and for milestone celebrations, you can always add more Leo pieces later.
Niello from Veliky Ustyug
The art of niello in Veliky Ustyug dates back to 1683. At SevChern, the engraving is done by hand and the inlay is fused without the use of lacquer.
Frequently asked questions about the Leo set
What zodiac sign is August 10th?
Leo, as its period runs until August 23rd.
Do the dessert spoon and teaspoon feature the same Leo design?
Yes, you will see the same hand-engraved depiction (lion with mane) on both, with the teaspoon version being on a smaller scale.
Do I have to buy the entire Leo set?
No. You can find the Leo dessert cutlery as a two-piece set, or purchase each item individually: dessert spoon, dessert fork, or teaspoon.
Can I have a date engraved on the set for an August birthday?
That is not possible because the spoon bowls, fork shield, and handles are already decorated. Instead, you can write your message on the complimentary SilberVerse card.
Will the Leo set tarnish over time?
Silver tarnishes when exposed to air. Drying the pieces immediately after hand-washing slows this process; silver baths and dishwashers should be avoided. For more on niello, see our guide on the technique.
The Leo dessert cutlery is a natural companion to this set, and it is also worth browsing our dessert cutlery collection.
