Materials and Craftsmanship of Ecclesiastical Items

All our ecclesiastical sacred items are handmade. They are designed and manufactured with passion by experienced craftsmen exclusively in our workshop in Greece. Each piece is created with deep respect for tradition and an emphasis on high quality.

All items are handmade, feature unique designs, and are produced in limited quantities. Our designs are patented, and any copying is strictly prohibited.

Gold - Plated Ecclesiastical Items:

Our ecclesiastical items are made of silver, copper, or bronze and are assembled using bronze screws and nuts. Silver and copper are noble, soft metals that require special attention and care, unlike iron. Sacred ecclesiastical items made from these materials require careful handling during use and cleaning. With proper daily use, damage is not expected.

Silver - Plated Ecclesiastical Items:

Silver-plated church utensils are both silver-plated and gold-plated, having undergone a special treatment. They are varnished, do not tarnish, and retain their shine, unlike untreated silver. No ointments or chemical products should be used for cleaning, as they may remove the protective varnish applied by our workshop and alter the appearance of the object.

Silver utensils are sensitive to oxidation. Silver reacts with sulfur present in the atmosphere, creating a black layer on its surface. This is the primary reason silver church utensils tarnish over time.

We deliberately choose not to varnish our solid silver church utensils so that their natural beauty can stand out. For cleaning and maintenance, we recommend using a simple soft cloth. Frequent gentle cleaning will help maintain the metal’s shine.

Our workshop guarantees that, whatever may happen to our church utensils, we fully undertake their complete repair and reconstruction.
