Saturno Silver Animals
Saturno Sterling Silver Animals are meticulously designed and exquisitely handcrafted in the heart of Tuscany, in Badia al Pino. Despite their diminutive size, these pieces boast an extraordinary level of detail and craftsmanship, imbuing them with a sense of unparalleled quality. The animal figures are often portrayed with a touch of whimsy, yet their execution remains flawlessly elegant. Consequently, they serve as perfect gifts for any occasion, guaranteed to delight and enchant their recipients.
Saturno Silver animals are painstakingly crafted. After being die-cast in sterling silver, each piece is hand polished to a high lustre. Multiple layers of vitreous enamel are skilfully applied by hand, then repeatedly glazed and fired at high temperatures to achieve the perfect colourflow. It’s this complex enamelling that gives each animal its unique finish.
As a finishing touch, every animal is given a layer of lacquer, which prevents tarnishing and removes the need for cleaning.
Every Saturno piece is distinguished by a UK hallmark, a testament to its authenticity and quality. This hallmark includes the manufacturer's mark, the sterling silver quality number (925), the assay office symbol (the anchor, representing Birmingham), the fineness mark (the lion), and the year the silver was assayed (for instance, "V" for 2020). Given the intricate nature of the pieces, these hallmarks might be quite small, but they are a guarantee of the exceptional craftsmanship and material used in your Saturno item.
These delightful figurines and miniatures make wonderful presents and are highly collectable.
