Each piece is crafted in our workshop from solid 925 silver; many feature Niello ornaments or gold plating. A gift set saves money compared to buying individual items and comes in a presentable gift box – ready to be given.

Why a gift set instead of individual pieces?
Individual silver pieces are beautiful – but a coordinated set tells a story. When the spoon, cup, and rattle match in the same design, it creates an ensemble that can be complemented over the years. Gift sets are thoughtfully put together: the pieces harmonize in style, ornamentation, and finishing. Plus, there's the practical advantage – a set in a gift box is immediately ready to be given, without additional wrapping. And in terms of price, sets are less expensive than the sum of individual items.

Occasions and Target Groups
When to give a baby silver gift set?
The most common occasion is birth – a silver set for the birth of a child is one of those gifts that are kept for a lifetime. Equally traditional is christening: a christening set with cross and spoon is the classic godparent gift. For the first birthday, cutlery sets are suitable, which the child can now use themselves. And at Christmas or Easter, grandparents can add another piece in the same design to the collection.
Who are the sets suitable for?
For parents who want to lay the foundation for a silver starter kit. For grandparents looking for a gift that will last for generations. For godparents who want to give something lasting for a christening – not just symbolically, but for daily use. And for anyone looking for a gift for a birth that stands out from typical baby clothing.
Care and Handling
Baby silver is designed for daily use. Rinse spoons and cups after each use with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. For light tarnishing, a silver polishing cloth is sufficient – the surface will shine again in seconds. Niello ornaments are an integral part of the silver surface and tolerate normal cleaning. Do not treat enamel decorations with abrasive cleaners. Gold-plated areas (inside of the cup, spoon bowl) protect the silver from oxidation and are food-safe. Not dishwasher safe. The included gift box is suitable for storage – so the set remains in perfect condition even after years.
Frequently Asked Questions about Baby Silver Gift Sets
At what age can a baby use silver cutlery?
Silver spoons are suitable for feeding from the age of introducing solids (approx. 5-6 months). For independent eating, we recommend the slightly shorter children's spoons from about 12 months. Silver cups can be used as drinking vessels even earlier. 925 sterling silver is food-safe and taste-neutral.
Is 925 sterling silver safe for babies?
Yes. 925 sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper – both metals are food-safe and harmless to health. Silver also has natural antibacterial properties. Our products contain no nickel or heavy metals.
Can I have an engraving added?
Most sets offer engravable surfaces – on the spoon handle, on the cup, or on the back of the christening cross. A name, birth date, or a short dedication turns the set into a personal keepsake. Please contact us before ordering.
What is the difference between birth sets and christening sets?
Birth sets typically contain cutlery, a cup, and a rattle – items for daily use. Christening sets additionally include a christening cross, often with a chain, and are more oriented towards the ceremonial occasion. Many sets are suitable for both occasions.
Is a set worth it compared to buying individual items?
Yes. The sets are generally more affordable than the sum of the individual pieces and ensure that all parts match in style and design. Additionally, you receive a coordinated gift box that makes the set ready to give immediately.
