Sugar tongs 925 silver Astra Black

This 925 sterling silver sugar tong is part of SevChern's Astra Black collection — a range of cutlery and accessories that combines high-contrast niello patterns on polished silver. With a length of approximately 114 mm, a width of 16 mm, and a weight of about 31 g, it is light in the hand and precisely fulfills its function: gripping, holding, and placing sugar cubes.

Crafted by SevChern in Veliky Ustyug, Northern Russia. 925 sterling silver, niello-style, gift box included.

Astra Black — the dark side of silver

SevChern's Astra Black collection focuses on maximum contrast: deep black niello surfaces on highly polished 925 silver. The result is more modern than classic floral niello ornaments — clearer, more geometric, with an effect that suits a formal table setting as well as a contemporary interior. This sugar tong is part of a complete service from the Astra Black line.

Function and Form: The Silver Sugar Tong

A sugar tong has a clear function: to cleanly grip and serve sugar cubes without fingers touching the sugar. Crafted in 925 silver, it is more than a kitchen tool — it is part of the table setting. With a length of 114 mm, the Astra Black tong is suitable for standard sugar bowls; the spring tension holds the sugar securely without crushing it.

SevChern — Niello and Engraving from Veliky Ustyug

SevChern has been manufacturing in Veliky Ustyug in northern Russia since 1683. The workshops were awarded a gold medal in Paris in 1937. The Astra Black collection is part of SevChern's modern range — niello ornaments in contemporary design, on classic 925 silver.

As a Gift: Small, Elegant, Functional

A 925 silver sugar tong is a gift for people who drink tea or coffee with style. Compact enough for any occasion, elegant enough for special moments. It fits as an addition to a silver cup, as a standalone gift, or as part of a curated silverware gift. Gift box included.
