Fine Sterling Silver Catalogue

Fine Sterling Silver presented a millennium catalogue of fine sterling silverware, bringing together exquisite personal items alongside elegant decorative and practical pieces for the home, all backed by a genuinely personal service.

The Millennium and Its Special Hallmark

In silversmithing, the millennium held particular significance. All four British assay offices authorised a special commemorative hallmark to mark the occasion. Fine Sterling Silver noted that special hallmarks are a rarity, and as a general rule silver from these years becomes more collectable — something they suspected would be especially true for millennial silver.

New and Exceptional Designs

For this millennium catalogue, the company encouraged the designer silversmiths they work with to each produce something completely new and exceptional. The catalogue showcased the results of this collaboration across a broad range of silverware.

• Exquisite personal items
• Elegant decorative pieces for the home
• Practical pieces for everyday use

A Truly Personal Service

Fine Sterling Silver took pride in its personal approach. Everyone, from packing to accounts, was actively involved in choosing what went into the catalogue. The same people answered the phone, processed orders, polished silver and wrapped packages — so callers seeking advice or placing an order spoke directly to the team rather than a scripted call centre.
