Children's mug sterling silver "Stars Gold" with engraving option

Not every family knows the gender of their child before birth — and not every gift needs to choose between blue and pink. The Gold Stars children's cup in 925 sterling silver is the classic answer: a slender tumbler with a delicate acanthus handle, featuring a silver star with a gold border, a golden crown, and two small satellite stars in the center. No enamel, no color restrictions — just the quiet elegance of silver and gold, gifted for the birth or baptism of a girl or boy.

Material and craftsmanship

The slender 925 sterling silver tumbler is highly polished on the outside, with the handle crafted as a curved acanthus vine. The star motif manages entirely without colorful enamel: a gold border, a golden crown in the center, and two small silver satellite stars create a restrained, elegant interplay of silver surface and gilding. Curated from the Royal Childhood collection, which focuses on this very reduced design language.

The collection

With a volume of approx. 150 ml, the cup is generous enough for daily use. The slender tumbler shape fits well in both small girls' and boys' hands, and the delicate handle provides a secure grip. The star motif is proportionally centered, giving it a balanced look even in a small space — a cup that isn't categorized as a "girls'" or "boys'" gift at first glance.

Special features and symbolism

The star is one of humanity's oldest symbols — in every culture and tradition, it stands for light in the darkness, for orientation, and for the wish that a new person will find their way. The golden crown in the center connects to the Royal Childhood collection: every child is welcomed as a little beacon of hope. A cup with a star says: You have arrived, you shine, and we are with you.

Occasions and target groups

The birth of a child is central — the Gold Stars cup is the classic choice for families who do not wish to determine the gender or do not yet know it. It is also universally suitable for baptisms, for both girls and boys. For twins of mixed gender, many families consciously choose the same Gold Stars cup twice rather than opting for different color schemes. It is also suitable for a first birthday or as a Christmas gift for a small child. You can find more ideas in our baptism gifts and birth gifts.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The smooth back of the cup is perfect for an engraving — usually a name and date of birth or baptism, or alternatively a monogram, a short quote, or a Bible verse. We will advise you in advance regarding placement and font size. On request, we include a complimentary SilberVerse card with your order: 15 × 10 cm in landscape format, individually designed with a personal message. An engraving in silver plus a message on paper together make for a complete birth or baptism gift.

Care

925 sterling silver is durable. After use, rinse with lukewarm water and mild dish soap and dry with a soft cloth. For patina, a silver polishing cloth helps — in the area of the gilded star motif, it is best to use no pressure to protect the gilding. No aggressive cleaning agents, no dishwasher. Storing it in the included gift box or a velvet pouch minimizes tarnishing.
