Baby gifts made of 925 silver — personalized for birth & christening

Baby gifts made of 925 silver — keepsakes that grow with them

A baby gift crafted from 925 sterling silver accompanies a child from day one—and remains long after most gifts have been forgotten. Our collection comprises 191 pieces : baby spoons, rattles, sippy cups, cutlery sets, picture frames, and complete gift sets. Unlike gifts solely for newborns, this collection covers the entire period—from newborn to toddler. Each piece is handcrafted in our workshop from solid 925 sterling silver, many with niello decoration or gold plating . Engraving transforms each spoon and cup into a personal heirloom.

Why make baby gifts from sterling silver?

Silver has a centuries-old tradition as a material for children's gifts. The expression "born with a silver spoon" is no coincidence: silver has always been considered a symbol of care and appreciation. 925 sterling silver is food-safe, nickel-free, and possesses natural antibacterial properties—ideal for anything a baby puts in their mouth. The alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper makes the material robust enough for everyday use. Unlike plastic or stainless steel, silver develops a fine patina over the years, a reminder of each use. A silver gift is not consumed—it is passed down.

From the factory to the children's room

Each piece undergoes numerous work steps: casting, grinding, polishing, and for many pieces, additional niello application or partial gilding. The SevChern workshop produces baby spoons and rattles in shapes that fit perfectly in small hands—with rounded edges and a weight that is comfortable for babies. Engravings are done individually.

Occasions and target groups

When do you give baby silver as a gift?

The most common occasion is birth —a silver spoon or rattle as the first lasting gift. For christenings , the classic silver christening spoon has been a firmly established tradition for generations. The first birthday , Christmas , and baby showers are also popular occasions. Grandparents often give the first cutlery set, godparents a drinking cup with an engraving. Those who give a spoon at birth add a matching fork for the birthday—thus creating a complete set over the years.

Who are silver baby gifts for?

For grandparents seeking a meaningful gift—the silver spoon from Grandma and Grandpa is a tradition in many families. For godparents whose christening gift should be lasting and personal. For parents who begin a silver collection with the first spoon and expand it over the years. And for family friends who want to give something lasting, rather than the fifth cuddly toy, for the birth.

Care and handling

Baby silver is designed for everyday use. Clean with warm water and mild dish soap after each use, then dry with a soft cloth. Niello decorations are permanently fired on and can be cleaned normally. Do not use abrasive cleaners on gold-plated areas. A silver polishing cloth is sufficient for light tarnish. Not dishwasher safe. Rinse silver rattles and teething rings thoroughly before first use. The included gift box is ideal for storage—keeping the piece in pristine condition for years to come.

Frequently asked questions about baby gifts made of silver

Is 925 sterling silver safe for babies?
Yes. 925 sterling silver is nickel-free, food-safe, and contains no harmful substances. Silver also possesses a natural antibacterial effect (oligodynamic effect) that inhibits germs on the surface—particularly beneficial for spoons and cups.

At what age can a baby use a silver spoon?
Our feeding spoons are suitable from the start of weaning (approx. 4–6 months). The bowl is flat and the edges are carefully ground and polished. For newborns, rattles and teething rings are the right choice.

Can I have an engraving added?
Yes. Most items offer engravable surfaces—on spoon handles, cup sides, or rattle handles. Popular choices include names, dates of birth, and short dedications. Contact us; we'd be happy to discuss the options with you.

What distinguishes this collection from birth gifts?
Our gifts for newborns focus on the occasion of birth. The baby gift collection is broader and also includes items for older babies and toddlers — such as children's cutlery , sippy cups, and picture frames for the first birthday.

Which silver baby gift is the most popular?
The baby spoon is a classic—timeless, personal with engraving, and affordable. For a more comprehensive gift, we recommend our baby gift sets , which combine spoons, cups, and other items in one box.
