Baptism Spoon 925 Silver Saint Matrona — Orthodox, Gold-Plated

Gilded only where the Saint stands: What does that look like? Here, a baptismal spoon made of 925 sterling silver features a gilded figure of Saint Matrona in the medallion, surrounded by silver ornamentation without enamel.

Matrona without enamel: Silver ornamentation and a gilded figure

There is no color here except for the gilding. Silver ornamentation wraps around an oval medallion on the handle. Inside is the gilded figure of Saint Matrona.

The gilding is only where the eye is meant to rest. The rest remains silver.

Partially gilded and simple: For whom the design is right

Those who find enamel too colorful will choose this design. It looks calm and festive at the same time. Those who prefer color can choose the Matrona with blue enamel or the Matrona with red enamel.

Saint Matrona: An image that is revered

The Orthodox tradition reveres Matrona of Moscow as a saint.

On the spoon, she appears in the oval medallion with a halo.

Blessing in Kolchugino: A spoon with a certificate

This spoon also bears the blessing of the Pokrov Church in Kolchugino (Alexandrov Diocese). A certificate of blessing is included. Further ideas for baptisms can be found in the Orthodox Gifts.

Name on the handle: Using the smooth back

The back of the handle remains smooth. Up to 20 characters can fit there, such as a first name with the baptism date.

The engraving service can be ordered as a second item. Please provide your engraving text as a note at checkout. We will contact you if something is not right and will refund the flat fee if necessary.

The SilberVerse card (15 × 10 cm) is available as an add-on upon request.
