Silver Baby Rattle 925 — Handle, Ring and Teething Ring

Silver Baby Rattle 925 — from the Handle Rattle to the Teething Ring

Here you will find the baby rattle in 925 sterling silver in five designs: as a handle rattle, ball rattle, dumbbell rattle, ring rattle and as a teething ring rattle with a pearl-white acrylic ring. Which rattle suits your gift depends on how it is held: the handle for gripping, the ring for one finger, the acrylic ring for holding on to. A name or date can be engraved on selected models, depending on the design.

Silver Rattles at a Glance — Which Design Is Right?

Rattles differ above all in how they sit in the hand and what can be engraved. This helps you find the right shape more quickly. In short: if a name or a date is to go into the silver, choose a handle rattle with a smooth handle or an engraving panel, a ball rattle with two engraving panels on the handle, a dumbbell with smooth discs or a beaded rim, the heart ring rattle, the smooth heart teething ring rattle or the Teddy Silhouette teething ring rattle. For all other shapes, the name goes on the SilberVerse card.

Products in This Collection

• Handle rattle, smooth or textured: The smooth handle is the engraving surface, for example on the lion handle rattle. The textured handle has grooves or curves to feel and usually carries no engraving; a few have a small engraving panel. Many motifs come in both versions, for example Stars and Moon with a textured handle.
• Ball rattle: The ball head shows the same relief on both sides. Some ball rattles have two engraving panels on the handle for the name and date, for example the Teddy Medallion ball rattle.
• Dumbbell rattle: Two discs, both sides the same. On dumbbells with smooth discs or a beaded rim, the engraving sits in the centre of the discs, on both sides, as on the dumbbell rattle; the bear dumbbell cannot be engraved.
• Silver ring rattle: The ring rattles from ArgentA are made entirely of 925 sterling silver and can be held with one finger. They are uncommon and therefore special, a companion to the handle rattle. Some have a tactile relief; the heart ring rattle can be engraved.
• Teething ring rattle: The silver teething ring rattle has a pearl-white acrylic ring; some people look for it as a grasping toy. The acrylic ring can be grasped and, when the first teeth come through, is also used for biting, always under parental supervision. It measures approx. 6 cm in diameter; on the Sitting Teddy the figure with its loop measures approx. 6 cm, and the total height is approx. 11 cm. The Teddy Silhouette teething ring rattle can be engraved.
• Cradle medal: A rattle pendant on a satin ribbon, without a handle, for hanging up in the nursery, for example the Stars and Moon Cradle Medal. Ribbon and pendant belong out of the baby's reach. The birth and christening coin is a different piece.

Personalised Baby Rattle — What Can Be Engraved Where

Whether a baby rattle with a name is possible depends on the design. Smooth handles take a name and date. Textured handles mostly do not; a few, such as the swan and the angel, have a small panel for a short name, a date or initials. On dumbbells with smooth discs or a beaded rim, the engraving sits in the centre of the discs (up to approx. 20 characters, checked case by case); the bear dumbbell cannot be engraved. Among the ring rattles, only the heart can be engraved. As a personalised teething ring, in other words a grasping toy with a name, there are only the smooth heart teething ring rattle and the Teddy Silhouette.

How to order: add the engraving service flat fee (up to approx. 20 characters) to your cart together with the rattle. One flat fee applies per engraved item; two engraving panels on one rattle count together. You enter your desired text as a note at checkout or send it to us by email or WhatsApp after ordering; we agree the wording with you. If the engraving is not possible, we refund the flat fee. The delivery time increases by 1–3 working days, and engraved goods are excluded from the right of withdrawal. The engraving guide explains every step.

For every rattle without engraving there is the SilberVerse card: free on request, a verse of 3–4 lines in your preferred language, as a 15 × 10 cm photo card in landscape format, in a standard frame in silver, white or black. It is created with the help of AI based on your details.

Motifs and Families — One Motif, Several Designs

A motif often comes as a smooth and a textured handle rattle, as a teething ring rattle, as a ball rattle and as a cradle medal. The smooth version is usually the engraving solution within the family, for Stars and Moon for example the smooth handle rattle. The teddy stands for a sense of security and is a familiar childhood motif (teddy bear collection), the angel is regarded as a protective motif and a christening motif (angel collection), the swan stands for grace and fidelity, Stars and Moon for dreams and good wishes, the heart for affection. There are also the rabbit, elephant, frog, duck, cat and lion. If you are giving gifts to two children, choose two motifs in the same shape.
