Teaspoon Zodiac sign Aquarius 925 silver gold-plated

An Aquarius is not impressed by standard gifts. Anyone wanting to give this sign something that captures their unique nature will find the answer in this tea spoon made of 925 sterling silver: the Aquarius symbol is engraved and gold-plated into the bowl, the stem shines entirely in gold, and at the end of the handle, a niello ornament provides the dark depth that gives this piece its character. No imprints, no mass-produced goods — a piece of tableware with meaning.

Material and craftsmanship

The spoon is made of solid 925 sterling silver and features the Aquarius symbol in the bowl — the two wavy lines of the water-bearer, gold-plated and engraved, framed by a fine border line. The entire stem is fully gold-plated, giving the piece a consistently warm luster. At the end of the handle sits a niello ornament of floral vines: niello is a dark alloy that is melted into engraved lines, chemically bonding with the metal — not a lacquer, not a coating, but a permanent connection that gains contrast over the years. This combination of gilding and niello hand-engraving comes from the Veliky Ustyug tradition, documented in Veliky Ustyug since 1683. The spoon carries the 925 hallmark.

Usage and occasions

As a tea spoon for coffee, tea, or small desserts, this piece is part of everyday tableware for adults. It shows its true strength as a gift: for a birthday between late January and mid-February, for Valentine’s Day, for an anniversary, or simply as an appreciation for someone with an independent mind and their own path. Anyone who knows an Aquarius knows: they value things that speak to them as an individual — not a sign off the rack, but their sign.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The bowl already carries the permanently engraved Aquarius symbol, so there is no additional space available for a personal engraving. For an individual touch, we offer the SilberVerse card instead: a personally designed card in 15 × 10 cm landscape photo format, tailored to the occasion, recipient, and sender — free of charge and written specifically for you. It is included with the gift and replaces the dedication that no longer fits on the spoon itself.

Care

Store in a dry place and wash by hand after use. Silver polish should only be used on the bare, gold-plated surfaces — not on the niello ornament, as the fine structure could suffer. Properly cared for, the contrast between gold and black deepens over time rather than fading.

Frequently asked questions

What is the meaning of the Aquarius symbol on the spoon?
The two wavy lines represent the water-bearer, who freely carries their ideas and knowledge into the world — a symbol of vision, independence, and ingenuity. On this tea spoon, it is engraved in gold into the bowl.

Is this tea spoon suitable as a birthday gift?
Yes. Aquarians have birthdays between January 20 and February 18 — a personal, astrologically appropriate gift for exactly this time of year.

What distinguishes niello from gold-plated engraving?
Niello is a black metal alloy that is melted into engraved depressions and bonds firmly with the silver. The gold-plated surfaces, by contrast, are polished silver with a gold finish. Together, both techniques create the characteristic gold-black-silver contrast of this spoon.
