Baby spoon 925 silver – oxidized bunny with heart & star

Baby spoon 925 silver rabbit — Oxidized design with heart and star relief

A small rabbit with a bow sits atop this 925 sterling silver baby spoon. The entire handle is adorned with a continuous relief of hearts and stars—no gilding, no color, just polished silver. The carefully controlled oxidation in the relief's recesses creates a subtle contrast, making the pattern stand out in three dimensions. Three tactile bumps in the spoon bowl playfully stimulate a baby's tongue during feeding.

Oxidation as a design element

The blackening—technically called oxidation—is selectively applied to the recesses of the relief. Where the polished silver transitions into the embossed hearts and stars, a dark contrast is created, making the symbols stand out three-dimensionally. The bow below the rabbit and the entire stem pattern gain depth and expression as a result. Unlike the gold-plated versions in the DoDo collection, this model completely forgoes any colored accents. The result is a calm, understated appearance—silver and soft shadows, nothing more is needed.

Material and workmanship

The spoon is made of solid 925 sterling silver and is meticulously crafted in the ArgentA manufactory. A three-dimensional rabbit clutching a heart sits at the end of the handle. Directly below the figure is a sculpted bow marking the transition to the handle. Raised hearts and stars alternate in a regular rhythm along the entire length of the handle—a design that is both visually and tactilely appealing. The spoon bowl features three subtle raised areas—the so-called tactile points of the DoDo collection—which playfully stimulate a baby's sense of touch and taste.

The hare as a symbol — fertility, spring and new beginnings

The rabbit is one of the most traditional symbols of fertility, spring, and new beginnings . In many cultures, it represents new life and the awakening of nature—qualities perfectly suited to the occasion of a birth. Just as spring follows winter, a new chapter begins with every child. The rabbit with a heart in its paw reinforces this message: it brings love and warmth. Giving a rabbit as a gift is giving the child a symbol of the joy of new beginnings—equally fitting for Easter as for a birth. A meaningful gift that extends beyond the moment.

A 925 sterling silver baby spoon with a rabbit motif is a versatile gift for the first months of life. This model is particularly suitable for:

• Birth: As the first silver gift — timeless and gender-neutral, with the symbol of new beginnings

• Baptism: A lasting keepsake from the godparents or grandparents

Whether parents, grandparents, godparents or close friends — anyone who appreciates a subtly colored design and pure silver aesthetics will find the perfect gift in this oxidized-blackened rabbit spoon.

Variants and additions

The rabbit motif is also available in a gold-plated version with a gold bow and gold hearts—perfect for those who prefer festive gold accents. For those wishing to create a sibling set, the DoDo collection offers additional motifs—including an angel, a doll, and a chick—in the same oxidized, blackened finish. This allows for the combination of individual sets to suit the family.

Care

Clean the spoon exclusively by hand with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid dishwashers, harsh cleaning agents, and silver dips—the latter would remove the blackening. The oxidized areas will deepen naturally over time and develop a unique patina. For the polished silver surfaces, we recommend a special silver polishing cloth if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the blackening harmless to health?
Yes. Oxidation is a purely surface process that produces silver sulfide. It is a refining technique that has been tried and tested for centuries and is completely safe for babies.

Can the blackening be removed?
The blackening is located in the recesses of the relief and is well protected there. With normal use and gentle care, it will remain permanently. Silver dips should be avoided, as these will remove the oxidation.

Why is this spoon smaller than other DoDo baby spoons?
At 11.5 cm long and weighing approximately 16 g, the rabbit model is one of the more compact spoons in the DoDo collection. Its delicate size is intentional—it fits particularly well in the hand during feeding and is ideal for those very first meals.

Is engraving possible upon request?
No, both sides of the handle feature continuous relief decorations with hearts and stars, leaving no free space for engraving. Engravable baby spoons can be found in our engraving service .

What does the rabbit motif mean as a gift?
The rabbit symbolizes fertility, spring, and new beginnings. It represents new life and the joy of growth—a beautiful message for the birth of a child. The rabbit is also a perfect symbol as an Easter gift.
