Material and Workmanship

All 24 pieces are made of 925 sterling silver and feature the niello decoration of the Snowdrop collection -- a traditional technique in which a dark alloy is burnt into hand-engraved patterns. The contrast between the shiny silver surface and the dark niello inlay gives each piece its depth. Each piece bears a hallmark or stamp as proof of authenticity. Small differences in the lines between individual pieces are normal with this handcrafted technique and are not a defect.

Use and Occasions

The Snowdrop set is suitable for elegant dinner parties, holiday meals, and festive family occasions. As a wedding or engagement gift, it marks the beginning of a shared household; as a dowry or an addition to one's own collection, it becomes a lasting part of table culture.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Personal engraving is available upon request. For an engraving order, we include a free SilberVerse card in landscape format 15 × 10 cm, individually designed with your desired text.

Care

Clean the cutlery exclusively by hand with warm water and a mild detergent -- the dishwasher is not suitable due to the niello decoration. Dry the pieces immediately after each wash with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid water spots and tarnishing. Store the set in the provided gift case or in a cutlery roll, protected from humidity and dust. If the silver tarnishes over time, a special silver polishing cloth will help restore its original shine.
