Why 925 sterling silver?
Sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. This alloy combines the characteristic luster of silver with a hardness that allows for everyday use. A silver spoon given as a first birthday accompanies a child throughout their childhood—and is still cherished decades later. A set of drinking glasses for a 50th birthday becomes a staple at every celebration. This is what distinguishes a silver gift from fleeting alternatives: it gains in personal value over time.
Birthday gifts by age
First birthday and toddlerhood
The first birthday marks the transition from baby to toddler—an occasion that calls for something lasting. A silver spoon engraved with the child's name and date of birth is a gift that parents will treasure and children will later hold with pride. Children's mugs with colorful enamel designs combine function with joy: the child drinks from them, and the mug becomes a keepsake of those early years.
Children and young people
From school age onwards, silver pendants with zodiac signs, picture frames for the children's room, or their first cutlery set are suitable gifts. For teenagers, keychains made of 925 silver or jewelry that underlines their personal style are appropriate – mature enough to be taken seriously, and valuable enough to be treasured.
Round birthdays — 50th, 60th, 70th
A milestone birthday calls for a gift befitting the occasion. Hip flasks adorned with niello, gilded shot glass sets, or a handcrafted tea glass holder—these are gifts that convey appreciation without words. Many pieces can be engraved upon request: a year, a name, or a short message transforms the silver gift into a personal keepsake.
Engraving — the personal touch
Many items in this collection can be engraved. An engraving transforms a beautiful gift into a personal one: the recipient's name, the date, a saying, or a dedication.

Care and handling
Sterling silver stays beautiful with minimal effort. Store silver pieces in a dry, dark place—ideally in a cloth bag or the original packaging. For light tarnishing, a soft silver polishing cloth is sufficient. Niello decorations are particularly easy to care for: the fired-on alloy retains its contrast for decades. Avoid harsh cleaning agents and dishwashers—warm water with mild dish soap is enough. Enamel surfaces on children's cups and spoons should not be treated with abrasive cleaners.
