The Swan Princess Spoon

Jewelry, like any expensive items, requires careful handling and certain care. Special attention should be paid to the appearance of jewelry in hot and humid climates. It is also necessary to protect jewelry from getting perfumes and cosmetics on them.

The custom of giving a baby a silver or gold spoon when the first tooth appears is one of the few ancient Russian traditions that have survived to this day. It is believed that if you hold a spoon over the first tooth that has erupted, then all the others will grow strong and healthy. Often this spoon becomes the first one with which the child begins to eat "with a spoon", joining the adult meal. From generation to generation, families pass on such elegant objects decorated with enamel and delicate patterns, preserving the warmth of childhood and the memory of their ancestors.

Silver is one of the most ancient metals known to man. Its white luster, plasticity, and ability to take any shape have made it a favorite jeweler's material for thousands of years. Unlike gold, silver is more affordable, but it is not inferior to it in beauty and nobility. However, pure silver is too soft to create durable jewelry, so it has been used as alloys since ancient times.
