"Three crowns" on a corrugated background in a shield, the shape of which represents a trefoil symbol, certifies that the product is made in Sweden from a precious metal, the sample of which is not lower than the minimum standard adopted in the country. The letter "S" on a fluted background in a pentagonal shield confirms that the product is made of silver of at least the national standard, which is 830 fineness.

The letter "M" certifies that the product was made in the city of Malmö. "M10" is a hallmark certifying that the product was tested in 1986.

The design of the "Hildesheim Rose" is associated with a centuries-old legend, according to which in 815 Louis the Pious, while hunting, ordered a mass to be held, for which a reliquary dedicated to the Mother of God was hung on a branch of a wild rose. After the mass, the reliquary could not be removed from the branch, which the emperor regarded as an omen.

As a result, on the site of the future Hildesheim, where the mass was celebrated, he founded a bishop's chair and dedicated the cathedral to Mary, whose symbol is the rose. Cutlery in this style appeared in the first half of the 18th century. They were made by the German master Christoph Lenker by order of the Hildesheim archbishop. Happy to answer any questions. All parcels are sent with a track number.

Due to the situation in my country.
