Silver icons are always cherished and honored by believers. Silver has long been considered a unique metal that has been ascribed to special properties. It was believed silver gets rid of bad thoughts, diseases, casts out evil spirits. This metal was associated with spiritual purity and faith in God. The depiction from silver will decorate any home, will serve as a good gift for family, friends, and relatives. Such products usually become family heirlooms and are passed down through inheritance.
There is a wide range of depictions made by the precious metal in our shop. We have depiction with Jesus Christ, Mary, mother of Jesus, and other saints.
You can buy the icon produced by this technology in our shop in the “Silver Icons” section.
Plating is the most common method of production for items like this at present time. A thin sheet of 998 or 925 sterling silver is applied to a sheet of aluminum and rolled several times. The result is a strong bimetallic joint, which is then machined, and the stamped setting is made from it.
Often the images are decorated with individual silver elements or applied a fine silver coating or sputtering in various ways.
Completely silver images are rarely made. Sometimes it is decorated with gems.
Silverware often loses its luster and begins to darken and fade by the influence of dust, dirt, high humidity. It is not difficult to fix this. You can return an original view with the help of a simple action.
Our silver plated icons are featured with high quality, resistance to abrasion and scratch. Our shop has icons of different shapes and sizes, with a dusting of a best-quality gem.
Tooth powder, soda, brass polish, fluid, and powder don’t suit for cleaning. Silver is a relatively soft metal. Therefore, abrasives and chemical compounds that are part of their composition scratch and damage the product.
The product should be polished after cleaning. A piece of usual suede is good for this.

Today, as many centuries ago, long before the sacrament of infant baptism, people order a personal icon, on which there is a picture of the saint by whose name the baby is named. A silver icon with gilt will be a great gift for such an occasion. After all, when the baby grows up, this image will serve as a reminder of his roots and faith. For parents, in such a case, it would be appropriate to give a written image of “Unearned Joy,” symbolizing paternal and maternal happiness. A silver icon with gilding will also be a good gift, for example, for a wedding.
There is some invisible strong bond between a person and an icon. It is even known such a concept as “house image”. These are personal icons people take with them on their long journeys, and do not part with it until the end of life. According to historical chronicles, Peter I also had a “house” icon of Our Lady of Kazan, with which he did not part until his last days. Today every believing family should have an icon of our Savior Jesus Christ, the Mother of God and the Saints whose names the family members bear. Silver icons with gilding in this case will not only decorate your home iconostasis, but also become a family spiritual relic.
