Children's spoon made of 925 silver with enamel - Ballerina

Children's Spoon 925 Silver Ballerina — Grace and Elegance on a Silver Spoon

A ballerina dances on the spoon. In a coral-red tutu, with flowing red hair and in a perfect dance pose, she stands on the lower part of the handle — a colored enamel figure that captures grace and movement. The slender, straight stem made of 925 sterling silver features a delicate step in the middle, and the oval spoon bowl shines highly polished. This children's spoon is made for girls who dream of the stage — and for families looking for a gift that combines beauty, symbolism, and silver quality.

Design and Enamel Details — The Dancer in the Spotlight

The ballerina figure is located on the lower part of the straight stem. She wears a coral-red to salmon-colored tutu, which is executed in multi-colored enamel — each color applied individually and fired at high temperature. Her red hair falls in suggested strands. Her arms and legs are designed in grey enamel, mimicking a ballet dancer's tights. The figure stands in a classic dance pose: one leg elegantly extended, the body in motion — captured in a moment of grace.

The stem itself is slender and straight, with a subtle step in the middle that gives the spoon a delicate structure. The oval spoon bowl is highly polished and, thanks to its rounded shape, fits comfortably in small hands. Unlike figural attachments at the end of the handle, the enamel ballerina sits directly on the stem here — which gives the entire spoon an elegant, slender line.

The Ballerina Motif — What the Dancer Symbolizes

The ballerina is more than just a pretty figure on a spoon. She stands for grace, discipline, and the beauty of movement. Like hardly any other art form, ballet embodies the connection between strength and elegance — behind the apparent lightness lie years of training, perseverance, and dedication.

Whoever gives this spoon as a gift gives the child a message: Dream big, work for it, and maintain your grace. For little girls who beam at the sight of a ballerina, who take their first steps in ballet class themselves, or who simply love everything that dances and twirls — this spoon is their companion at the dinner table, reminding them of their passion every day.

The ballerina as a motif on silver also has a cultural dimension: In the Russian manufacturing tradition, ballet motifs are among the classic themes — the Bolshoi Theatre, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker Suite. Russkije Samozvety takes up this tradition and translates it into the delicate enamel art on silver.

Material and Origin — Russkije Samozvety

The children's spoon is made of solid 925 sterling silver and bears the official hallmark. The enamel elements are applied in several layers — coral, red, grey, and skin tones — and fired at high temperature. This creates a color-brilliant, everyday-suitable surface that does not peel off and retains its luminosity for years.

The manufacturer Russkije Samozvety (Russian: Russian Jewels) is one of Russia's most traditional manufacturers. For over 100 years, the company in St. Petersburg has been producing jewelry and silverware — with a focus on enamel finishing, which is hardly found in this quality and detail in Europe anymore. The ballerina on this spoon is a typical example of the Russkije Samozvety style: delicate enamel figures with fine color gradations on high-quality silver.

Occasions — For Ballet-Loving Girls and Special Moments

This children's spoon is not an everyday gift. It is aimed at families looking for a meaningful gift — and at girls for whom ballet is more than just a hobby.

For Birth

The silver spoon for birth is an old tradition: the first piece of cutlery that a child will keep throughout their life. With the ballerina motif, you are not just giving silver, but a wish for the future — grace, strength, and the freedom to dance your own way.

For Christening

As a godparent's gift, the spoon combines tradition with a personal touch. With an engraving of the christening date or name, it becomes a symbolic companion — an object that the child will hold as an adult and remember this day.

For Birthday

For the first, second, or third birthday — especially for girls who have already been introduced to ballet. Or for anyone whose eyes light up at the sight of tutus, pointe shoes, and pirouettes. Also as a reward after the first ballet performance, a gift that lasts.

For whom?

For parents and grandparents, who are looking for a gift that reflects the child's passion.
For godparents, who want to give something lasting — not a toy, but a keepsake.
For ballet schools and dance teachers, who want to honor a special occasion.
For collectors of Russian enamel art, who appreciate the ballet motif as a cultural theme.

Care — Proper Treatment of Enamel and Silver

After use, rinse the children's spoon by hand with warm water and mild dish soap. Then dry with a soft cloth. Important for enamel spoons: Do not use silver polish on the colored enamel surfaces — the chemicals can attack the enamel surface and dull the colors. For light tarnish on the bare silver surfaces (stem, spoon bowl), a silver polishing cloth is sufficient — but only where no enamel is applied. Not dishwasher safe. The included gift box is suitable for storage.
