Christening spoon 925 silver gold-plated with guardian angel – engraving possible

When a child is baptized, a new chapter begins for the family – a life that, according to many traditions, is now to be under the protection of an angel. This gold-plated baptismal spoon made of 925 sterling silver bears precisely this image on its handle: a guardian angel above a heart, surrounded by small gold-plated hearts. A baptismal gift that lasts and becomes truly personal with an engraving.

Material and workmanship

The gold plating is applied electrochemically: the silver is coated with pure gold in an electrolytic bath, creating an even, durable surface that contrasts with the bright silver of the spoon. On the handle, a guardian angel with outstretched wings stands above a heart, below which are three small gold-plated hearts – a delicate yet clearly recognizable motif. The spoon belongs to the Royal Childhood design world by ArgentA and comes in a high-quality gift box with a gold gradient and ribbon.

Use and occasions

This baptismal spoon is equally suitable for boys and girls – the gold plating is gender-neutral, without pink or blue, which makes it particularly practical if you are looking for twins or without knowing the gender. It is a classic gift from the godfather or godmother for a baptism, equally suitable as a gift from grandparents who want to give the child an heirloom. The guardian angel above the heart recalls the psalm verse 'For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways' – a line often quoted at baptisms and expressing the hope that the child is not alone on their journey.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The back of the spoon handle offers space for an individual engraving with a name, baptismal date, or a short baptismal verse such as 'May your guardian angel accompany you' or 'Under God's protection.' Please indicate your wishes in the notes field when ordering, and we will implement the engraving. Additionally, upon request, we will include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format (15x10 cm landscape) – individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge. You can find more information on our Engraving Service page.

Care

Clean the spoon only with a soft cloth and warm water, without abrasive cleaners or hard brushes. The gold plating is not dishwasher safe – the heat and cleaning agents can attack it and make it dull. The silver underneath may tarnish slightly over time; a mild silver polish or a silver polishing cloth will restore its shine. Store the spoon dry afterward, preferably in the included gift box.
