Baby Gift Set 925 Silver Duckling – Rattle and Birth Spoon

A birth gift that is more than just a pretty motif — it is a documented moment? This little duckling set in 925 sterling silver combines a birth spoon featuring a small birth clock and engraving fields on the handle with a rattle in the shape of a 3D duckling figure with a bow around its neck. This way, the baby's name, date, and time of birth are captured in silver.

Material and workmanship

The spoon is part of the DoDo series by the ArgentA manufactory — the tactile reliefs on the handle are clearly noticeable to the touch. Instead of a simple motif, the top of the handle features a small birth clock with a clock face, with several empty engraving fields below for name, date, and time. The rattle does not belong to the DoDo line: a fully sculpted duckling figure on an ornamental handle. The birth spoon comes from ArgentA, the handle rattle with the duckling from Zaramella in Italy; we put both together as this set. Do you like the birth spoon but want the rattle to have a different motif? Write to us; on request, we will combine it differently.

Occasions and target groups

This set is primarily a birth gift — it is often presented at the hospital or during the first family visit, and the date is engraved shortly after. It is also suitable for a baptism, especially as a godparent's gift, when the engraving combines the birth and baptism dates. For the first birthday, the details are often added retrospectively. Grandparents appreciate that this set captures the name, date, and time of birth in silver — unlike a birth certificate tucked away in a drawer. The duckling motif is deliberately gender-neutral and suitable for both girls and boys. For a different animal motif from the same series, you can find the frog set.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

Only the birth spoon can be engraved: Below the birth clock, there is space for the name, date of birth, time, and birth weight, per field depending on font size and field size. The rattle is crafted as a sculpture and does not offer a smooth surface for engraving. On request, we include a SilberVerse card with your order free of charge: a verse created with the help of AI based on your details, as a 15 × 10 cm photo card in landscape format, in a standard frame.

Care

Clean the birth spoon and rattle by hand after every use with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. For the polished surfaces, a silver polishing cloth is sufficient to remove tarnish. Both pieces are not dishwasher-safe. For storage, the included case is the right solution.

Frequently asked questions

What is the meaning of the birth clock on the spoon handle?
The small, round clock with a clock face symbolically represents the moment of birth. The exact time is engraved into the field below it.

Which details are typically engraved?
The classic choice includes the name, date of birth, time, and weight. Some families add the baptism date later, provided there is still space.

What should I keep in mind regarding the duckling rattle?
The rattle is made of 925 sterling silver (92.5% fine silver) without an internal rattle mechanism. Use the rattle only under supervision and clean it after use with warm water and mild dish soap.
