Table silverware and silver cutlery made of 925 silver

European craftsmanship meets Russian niello tradition

Our silverware is not mass-produced, but handcrafted in a true workshop setting. Each piece is created by experienced hands, using fine engraving and traditional niello techniques. This makes every piece of cutlery a work of art—not because it is unique, but because the engraving and patterning vary slightly from piece to piece. It is precisely these subtle differences that give true handcraftsmanship its charm.

Whether classically polished, finely gilded, meticulously detailed in the niello style, or lovingly designed for children — our silverware made of 925 sterling silver combines art, function, and lasting value. It is created for festive tables, precious gifts, and for people who appreciate authenticity.

Niello technique — the secret of our silver art

Niello is a centuries-old decorative technique in which black, glossy ornaments are fired into fine engravings.

Our manufactory in Russia has mastered this technique for generations and combines it with modern design.

For which occasions is silver cutlery suitable?

As a wedding gift: A silver cutlery set symbolizes the desire for a glamorous life together. Personalized sets with the couple's initials are especially popular.

For baptisms and births: Baptismal spoons , children's cutlery or a first cutlery set are among the most traditional gifts for this occasion.

For anniversaries and milestone birthdays: Silver cutlery as an addition to an existing collection or as a single collector's item — timeless and retains its value.

Care of silverware

Silverware is more robust than you might think. For daily care, lukewarm water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth are sufficient. Do not put it in the dishwasher—niello decoration, gilding, and enamel details are sensitive to harsh detergents.

Tarnished silver can be cleaned with a silver polishing cloth or gentle polish. For heavier oxidation, warm water with a little baking soda and a soft cotton cloth will help. Store your silverware in a dry place, ideally in the gift box it came in or wrapped in felt cloths—this will help it retain its shine for years to come.

Frequently asked questions about silverware and silver cutlery

How can I recognize genuine silver cutlery?

Genuine silver cutlery bears a silver hallmark—usually the number 925 for sterling silver. This indicates 92.5% pure silver. Silver-plated pieces are marked with abbreviations such as "EP" or "Alpacca." Weight, sound, and patina also reveal genuine silver.

Which is better — sterling silver or silver-plated?

Sterling silver (925) is solid silver, retains its value, and is durable. Silver-plated cutlery has only a thin layer of silver on a base metal core. Only genuine sterling silver is made to last for generations—it retains its shine, can be restored, and has lasting value.

Is silverware dishwasher safe?

No. Due to niello decoration, gilding, or enamel details, silverware should only be cleaned by hand. Lukewarm water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth will keep the surface beautiful for years to come.

Why does silver tarnish and how can it be prevented?

Silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air, creating a dark patina. This is harmless and easily removed. Store silverware in a dry, airtight container and avoid contact with rubber or damp wood.

What does the number 925 mean on silver cutlery?

The number 925 stands for the silver content — 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper for stabilization. This alloy makes the cutlery robust, easy to care for, and at the same time elegantly shiny.

What is Niello silver?

Niello is a traditional finishing technique in which black, glossy ornaments are burned into fine engravings. Each pattern is created by hand, meaning the decoration varies slightly from piece to piece. This makes every piece of cutlery truly unique.

Is it possible to have silver cutlery gilded?

Yes. Many of our pieces are partially gold-plated or can be finished upon request. A fine gold plating accentuates ornaments and also protects the silver from oxidation—ideal for accents on handles and decorations.

Is silverware a good investment?

Silverware made of 925 sterling silver retains its value, can be restored after decades, and is often passed down as an heirloom. Combined with niello or engraving, it becomes a true investment, not only in material terms but also emotionally.
