Baby spoon made of 925 silver — handcrafted & engravable

Baby spoon made of 925 silver — the first piece of silver belonging to your own

A baby spoon made of 925 sterling silver is more than just cutlery—it marks the beginning of a family tradition. The first puree, the first solid meal: a silver spoon makes each of these moments tangible. Our collection includes 82 baby spoons in various styles—from simple and classic to richly decorated with enamel , niello ornaments , or gold plating . Manufacturers like DoDo , Argenta , and SevChern each bring their own distinctive design language: colorful enamel motifs for children, delicate niello engravings from the Russian silver tradition, and classic shapes with gold accents. Many spoons feature zodiac sign motifs and can be engraved with a name and date of birth —creating a gift that will last a lifetime.

Why a baby spoon made of sterling silver?

The tradition of giving a newborn a silver spoon dates back centuries—and for good reason. 925 sterling silver is food-safe, tasteless, and has natural antibacterial properties . Unlike stainless steel or plastic, a silver spoon feels pleasant in the hand—light enough for little fingers, heavy enough to convey value. The surface is smooth and free of sharp edges. And while a plastic spoon ends up in the trash, a silver spoon is passed down through generations. It's the gift that sits in the mother's jewelry box and is one day given to her own child.

Frequently asked questions about silver baby spoons

Is a silver spoon safe for babies?
Yes. 925 sterling silver is food-safe, free of harmful substances, and tasteless. The surfaces are smoothly polished and without sharp edges. Silver has been used for baby cutlery for centuries—it is one of the safest materials for contact with food.

At what age can a baby use a silver spoon?
Most baby spoons are suitable from the time babies start eating solids, around 4 to 6 months. Their compact size and comfortable weight make them ideal for those first feeding attempts. Later, the child can hold the spoon themselves.

Can I personalize the spoon with an engraving?
Yes, many of our baby spoons offer engravable areas on the handle or back. A name, date of birth, or a short message transforms the spoon into a personal keepsake. Engraving is available upon request—please contact us.

What is the difference between a baby spoon and a child's spoon?
A baby spoon is smaller and lighter, with a shallower bowl designed for first pureed meals. A child's spoon is slightly larger and suitable for children from about 2 years old who are already eating independently. Both are made of 925 sterling silver.

Which spoon is suitable as a birth gift?
Spoons with zodiac sign motifs or enamel decorations are especially popular—they are both personal and decorative. For a particularly precious gift, we recommend a birth announcement spoon with an engraving, complemented by a matching floating frame for display.
