Material and Workmanship

At the end of the handle sits a three-dimensional doll with an implied face, bow, and lovingly crafted details. The handle is decorated along its entire length with alternating hearts and stars in relief embossing. The oxidation is specifically applied to the depressions of the relief, making the doll, hearts, and stars stand out sculpturally. In the bowl of the spoon, there are three subtle raised areas for tactile sense and taste perception.

Occasions and Target Groups

A 925 silver baby spoon is one of the most traditional gifts for the birth of a child. Presented as a christening spoon, it becomes a lasting memento of this special day. For givers who are looking for a christening or birth gift and prefer a color-neutral design with an emotional motif.

SilberVerse Card

Due to the double-sided relief decoration, this spoon cannot be engraved. As a personal touch, we offer a free, digitally designed SilberVerse card in photo format 15 × 10 cm (landscape format).

Care

Clean exclusively by hand with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid dishwashers, aggressive cleaning agents, and silver dips, as these would remove the blackening. The oxidized areas will naturally deepen over time and develop an individual patina.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a christening spoon mean and why is it a special gift?
The christening spoon is a centuries-old tradition that represents the wish that the child be "blessed with a silver spoon" for life — a symbol of prosperity, health, and happiness.

Is this baby spoon available with engraving?
No, both sides of the handle feature continuous relief decorations, leaving no free space for an engraving.

Is the blackening harmless to health?
Yes. Oxidation is a purely superficial process that creates silver sulfide — a proven, harmless finishing technique used for centuries.
