Children's Cup Perla 925 Silver — Pearl Handle, 100 ml

Motif-free doesn't mean unadorned. The Perla children's cup in 925 sterling silver has the same festive trumpet and bell shape as its sibling model – but a delicate beaded silver strip runs along the back of the handle: small silver spheres, precisely aligned. It's a detail you only notice upon a second glance, and therein lies its charm.

For godparents who love the festive bell shape but are looking for an additional accent, the beaded edge on the handle is that touch of luxury that surprises. Grandparents often appreciate the substance of this cup – weighing approximately 87g, it feels noticeably substantial in the hand. And parents who prefer a motif-free christening cup that still doesn't appear entirely plain will find the Perla offers just the right balance between subtlety and detail.

Material and Workmanship

The Perla is made of solid 925 sterling silver and is highly polished both inside and out. The shape begins on a marked base, rises slenderly, and opens upwards in a trumpet shape with a distinctly flared rim – the classic chalice or goblet form of European silver tradition. The special detail is on the handle: along the outer back edge runs a finely beaded strip, small silver spheres formed from the handle itself and fused with it – not a glued-on element, but as robust as the rest of the cup. Weighing approximately 87g, the Perla is the heaviest cup in its collection. It is manufactured by ZARAMELLA in Italy.

Occasions and Target Groups

The Perla is a festively designed silver christening cup with an additional handcrafted accent – suitable for christenings, births, and first birthdays, as well as name days or as a keepsake for other milestones. The combination of the trumpet shape and the beaded detail makes it popular as a gift when the giver wants to choose a silver piece that impresses not only with its shape but also with fine detail work. Since neither color nor shape dictates a direction, it is equally suitable for girls and boys.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The front, back, and side surfaces of the cup body are completely available for engraving – the beaded detail is exclusively on the handle and remains untouched. A name, date of birth, christening date, a monogram, or a short christening verse can be applied here, optionally with a subtle decorative frame that picks up the beaded strip motif on the handle. Engraving is available upon request, after brief consultation on placement, font, and text length. With an engraving order, we will include a complimentary SilberVerse card in landscape format (15 x 10 cm) upon request: a digitally designed unique photo with personalized text about the occasion and the child.

Care

925 sterling silver is durable and food-safe. After use, lukewarm water with mild dish soap is sufficient, then dry with a soft cloth. If a light patina appears over time, a silver polishing cloth without pressure will help – the beaded rim on the handle also benefits from this gentle treatment, entirely without abrasive cleaners or hard brushes. The cup should not be put in the dishwasher and should not come into contact with silver dips or aggressive cleaning agents. Between occasions, it is best stored in its gift box or a velvet pouch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Perla differ from the Campana?
Both share the same trumpet and bell shape. The difference is in the handle: the Perla has a finely beaded silver edge, while the Campana has a completely smooth handle. Accordingly, the Perla is also slightly heavier at approx. 87g than the Campana at approx. 75g.

Is the beaded detail fragile?
No. The small beads are formed from the handle itself and fused with it, not glued on or separately attached. The detail is as robust as the rest of the cup and easily withstands daily use.

From what age is the cup suitable?
With a volume of 100 ml, a height of 6 cm, and an easy-to-grasp handle, the Perla is suitable from about 6 months, as soon as a baby can sit and grasp with one hand.
