Baby Gift Set 925 Silver Duckling – Rattle & Birth Spoon

A birth gift that is more than just a pretty motif — but a documented moment? The Duckling set in 925 sterling silver combines a birth spoon with a small birth clock and engraving fields on the handle, with a rattle in the shape of a 3D duckling figure with a bow around its neck. This way, the name, date, and time of birth are permanently captured in silver.

Material and workmanship

The spoon belongs to the DoDo series from the ArgentA manufactory — the tactile reliefs on the handle massage the child's lips and tongue during feeding. Instead of just a motif, a small birth clock with a dial is located at the top of the handle, with several empty engraving fields below for name, date, and time. The handle rattle is not a DoDo piece but classic ArgentA silver craftsmanship: a fully three-dimensional duckling figure on an ornamental handle. SilberKosmos curates this set from the ArgentA range.

Occasions and target groups

The set is primarily a birth gift — it is often given in the hospital or during the first family visit, and the date is engraved promptly. It is also suitable for christenings, especially as a godparent's gift, if the engraving combines the birth and christening dates. For the first birthday, the data are often supplemented in retrospect. Grandparents appreciate that this set creates a silver piece that will still be legible in 30 or 50 years — unlike a birth certificate in a drawer. The duckling motif is deliberately gender-neutral and suits both girls and boys. For a different animal motif from the same series, you can find the Frog Set.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Only the birth spoon can be engraved: Below the birth clock, there is space for the name, birth date, time, and birth weight, about 12 to 18 characters per field, depending on the font size. The handle rattle is crafted as a sculpture and does not offer a smooth surface for engraving. When ordering an engraving, we include a free SilberVerse card in landscape format 15 × 10 cm — a poem individually tailored to the occasion on photo paper, putting the most personal data of the day into words.

Care

Clean the birth spoon and handle rattle by hand after each use with warm water and mild detergent, and dry with a soft cloth. For polished surfaces, a silver polishing cloth is sufficient to remove tarnish. Neither piece is dishwasher safe. The included case remains the best solution for storage.
