Christening gift silver: Baby gift set with heart – tradition meets meaning

• Tradition: Silver has always been used for cutlery and drinking vessels
• Longevity: A silver gift remains beautiful for a lifetime and can be passed down through generations
• Value retention: 925 sterling silver retains its substance and gains significance over the years
