Table fork 925 silver gold-plated with Niello – Astra Gold
Fully gold-plated — Astra Gold shines at the table
Description
The Astra Gold dinner fork features a floral niello ornament on gold-plated 925 sterling silver — calmly placed in the oval handle area and complemented by a small blossom detail at the base of the tines. The SevChern manufactory in Veliky Ustyug creates the niello inlay using a technique documented there since 1683. For those seeking a gold-plated piece of cutlery with clear, symmetrical ornamentation, the Astra Gold fork is a choice that blends well into an existing silver service or serves as a standalone gift.

Material and craftsmanship
The floral pattern is crafted as a niello inlay — the dark alloy is melted in an open flame and polished until it is firmly bonded to the silver. No printing, no coating: the black remains part of the metal and becomes more contrasted with every polish. The gold plating lies over the 925 sterling silver and frames the ornament with a warm luster.
Usage and occasions
This fork is suitable for occasions where gold-plated cutlery with clear lines is desired — as a supplement to a silver service, as a gift for a wedding or housewarming, or as a single piece for those who prefer reduced ornamentation over lush relief patterns. Within the Astra family, it can be combined with other cutlery from the Astra Gold, Astra Black, or Astra Classic lines.
Engraving and SilberVerse card
Additional engraving, such as initials or a date, is possible upon review; the suitable area will be coordinated with the manufactory. The SilberVerse card is a perfect accompaniment for gift-giving: a digitally designed photo in landscape format 15 × 10 cm, free of charge and tailored entirely to the occasion.
Care
Clean by hand, without aggressive cleaning agents and without a dishwasher — both would damage the gold plating and niello inlay over time. After washing, rub dry with a soft cloth and occasionally refresh with a silver polishing cloth.
Frequently asked questions
