Coffee spoon 925 silver gold-plated with enamel

This coffee spoon, made of 925 sterling silver, is gold-plated and adorned with colorful enamel using filigree technique — one of the oldest and most elaborate decoration techniques in Russian metal art. 120 mm long, 17.25 g light: a small object with a big impact in everyday life.

What the product image shows — and what Filigree means

The colored fields on the spoon are not prints. Enamel in filigree technique means: Fine silver wires are bent into a pattern, soldered, and thus form small closed fields. Colored enamel is then placed into these fields and fired. The result is a three-dimensional embellishment where each color field is bordered by a fine silver bridge — visible, tactile, durable. The spoon is gold-plated: the gold protects the silver and adds a warm accent to the enamel.

Filigree technique: Ancient origin, elaborate manufacturing

Filigree (from Latin "filum" = thread, "granum" = grain) is a technique that has been used in Russia and the Middle East for centuries for jewelry and accessories. The fine wires are positioned and soldered by hand — a step that requires precision and experience. Russkiye Samotsvety has been using this technique for decades and is one of the most renowned Russian manufacturers of enameled silverware.

This explains the price: A coffee spoon in filigree technique is not a mass-produced item from a factory line. The colored enamel fields are real color glazes, fired at high temperatures — not printed, not glued.

As a gift or as an everyday companion

This coffee spoon is suitable as an individual gift — for a birthday, Christmas, or as a small token of appreciation for someone who loves coffee. It can also be combined with matching silverware: coffee cups, sugar bowls, or tea sets from the Russkiye Samotsvety range would be a good fit.

Engraving & Personalization

Upon request, we can engrave the spoon with a name, date, or monogram. Please specify your desired text when ordering.

Upon request, we can include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format (10×15 cm) — individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge.

Care of the silver spoon

925 silver may tarnish slightly over time. It can be easily refreshed with a soft silver polishing cloth. The enamel fields are sensitive to aggressive cleaning agents — please wash by hand, not in the dishwasher.
