Baptism gifts in 925 silver | From classic to orthodox

Baptism is one of the most important moments in a child's life — the beginning of a spiritual journey, a promise from family and godparents. The gift for this occasion should live up to this moment. Not something that will be used up, not something that loses its appeal in four weeks — but a piece of 925 sterling silver that will last for decades and one day be passed on from the baptized child to their own children.

In this collection, you will find all baptism gifts made of genuine silver — from classic baby spoons to christening cups and baby rattles, to orthodox icon sets and handmade niello pieces from the SevChern manufactory in Veliky Ustyug. Every piece can be engraved. We include a free SilberVerse card with every personalized gift.

What makes a silver baptism gift special

925 sterling silver has been the traditional material for baptism gifts for centuries. It symbolically stands for purity, protection, and light — values that perfectly suit a baptism. It is food-safe according to EU standards and has natural antibacterial properties. It does not get worse with the years but becomes more beautiful. And it bears the hallmark — the small stamp that confirms the fineness and the manufacturer — legible for generations.

The English saying "born with a silver spoon" still stands for the wish of a good start in life. A silver baptism gift expresses exactly this wish, whether it's a single baby spoon or a complete gift set.

What you'll find in this collection — all types of baptism gifts

Baby Spoons and Christening Spoons

The classic among baptism gifts. In various designs — with an angel motif, with zodiac signs, with enamel accents in blue, pink, or gold. Each spoon is made of solid 925 silver and can be engraved with the name of the baptized child. Learn more in our guide Engraved Silver Spoons for Baptism.

Christening Cups

The child's first own cup — with a handle for small hands, motifs such as teddy bears, stars, or angels. Our niello christening cup with an angel motif from Veliky Ustyug is the piece for godparents and grandparents looking for something special.

Silver Baby Rattles

The most emotional baptism gift. A silver rattle makes a sound, it shines, it rests in a small hand — and after babyhood, it becomes a keepsake on the bedside table. The tradition dates back to the 16th century. Learn more: Silver Baby Rattle — A Tradition that Rings.

Gift Sets (2- to 4-piece)

Ready-made sets of cup + spoon, or spoon + icon + cross — thoughtfully assembled and packaged in an attractive gift box. If you are looking for a complete gift that can be presented immediately, take a closer look at our Baptism Gift Sets — all sets are sorted there by composition.

Orthodox Baptism Gifts

For Orthodox baptisms: gift sets with folding icons (Kazan Mother of God, Guardian Angel), cross pendants, and silver spoons. The icons are set in 925 silver and crafted with niello decorations from Veliky Ustyug. The SevChern manufactory has been making these pieces for 340 years in the tradition of Russian silversmithing.

Children's Cutlery with Engraving

Spoon, fork, small knife — as a set engraved with the name of the baptized child. Children's cutlery made of 925 silver accompanies the child from their first solid food to the family table. More in the guide: Children's Cutlery with Engraving.

Niello Baptism Gifts

For godparents and grandparents looking for a particularly unique piece: Niello is a black silver alloy that is melted into the engraved linear relief at 800 degrees. The niello tradition comes from Veliky Ustyug in northern Russia, where the SevChern manufactory has been working with this technique for 340 years. Our Nielloa Baptism Collection showcases the most exclusive pieces.

Which baptism gift suits whom

Godparents traditionally give the most meaningful piece: an engraved christening spoon, a gift set with an icon, or a niello christening cup. Godparenthood is a lifelong promise — the gift should reflect that. Our guide: What does a godparent give for a baptism?

Grandparents often give the heirloom: a heavy silver set that will last for generations. Guide: What do grandparents give for a baptism?

Family friends give something personal without having to take on the role of godparent: a single baby spoon, a rattle, or a smaller set. Guide: Baptism Gift from Friends

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

Every piece in this collection can be engraved upon request — with the name of the baptized child, the baptism date, a blessing, or initials. With every personalized gift, we include a free SilberVerse card in photo format, individually designed with your dedication.

Care of Silver Baptism Gifts

Hand wash only with lukewarm water, use a soft cloth, dry immediately. No dishwasher, no silver dip (attacks gilding). Niello pieces do not require special care; the black remains permanent. For slight tarnishing: use a silver polishing cloth. Best stored in the gift case or anti-tarnish bag.
