Enameling small, chiseled surfaces is a delicate process that requires a highly skilled hand, and our artists excel in this precision work. We are committed to quality and sustainability, using only the best colors for our products. At K-OVER, we take pride in delivering exceptional craftsmanship and unparalleled beauty in every bottle cover we create.
Capable of replicating any design from photographs and drawings, K-OVER welcomes any challenge, ensuring each request is transformed into a stunning, bespoke work of art.
The process begins with melting solid blocks of silver, which are then laminated to the precise thickness needed for K-OVER sheets. This stage requires careful attention to ensure the perfect fit for the bottle, preventing damage and noise.
Creating the initial cylinder for the K-OVER wine cover was particularly challenging and took several months of study. This foundational design combines old-world craftsmanship with modern precision, resulting in a functional and elegant decorative wine cover.
Our commitment to excellence at every step ensures each K-OVER is both a protective casing and a masterpiece of goldsmithing and silversmithing.
Diamond surface
This exquisite finish was originally conceived to be applied to covers as a decorative element, but it stands out beautifully that it has become a decoration in itself. Part of K-OVER’s offerings, it allows clients to choose from a range of materials such as gold, silver, or bronze and surface finishes, including glossy, matte, and the stunning diamond effect.

Chiseling and Embossing
Cesello, or chiseling, is the most commonly used technique for creating silverware, including our K-OVERs. The challenge in our process arises from the cylindrical shape of the cover. When the artist begins to work, the cover is closed, and all volumes must be crafted from the inside. This ancient technique, known as “Caccia in fuori,” involves embossing. The artist attaches tools to a special spring, presses the spring, and moves the tools to shape the metal from the inside.
Chiseling can also be done from the exterior of the K-OVER. Given its cylindrical shape and hollow interior, the casings are filled with pitch to provide a solid surface for the artist to work on. We use high temperature to insert and remove the pitch, this process doesn’t damage the casings and allows the artist to create any design, whether inspired by original drawings or copied from photographs.
