Bead - Sterling Silver Cutlery

Elegant simplicity is presented in this stunning pattern, originally designed by Hester Bateman. Hester took over her family silverware business when her husband died in 1760 and became one of the most prominent silversmiths of the time.  This design was inspired by intricate strings of pearls and Bead remains one of the most popular patterns we sell today.

Our process is not too dissimilar to the process Hester would have used, although on a much larger scale.  Each piece of silver cutlery is hand crafted in our factory in Sheffield by Carrs very own master silversmiths.  Knife blades are made from specially hardened stainless steel which gives a perfectly sharp cutting edge. This means that blades won’t dull as quickly and there is less need for sharpening or refurbishment (both of which we can complete for you at our Sheffield factory.)

Please bear in mind that each set of silver plated cutlery is made to order.  Once you place your order, we will begin the production process and will be in touch to let you know an estimated delivery date – this could take up to eight weeks.  We craft all of our sterling silver and silver plated cutlery to order, in case you want any personalisation or engraving – get in touch to find out more about this amazing service!
