Baby spoon 925 silver chick

Baby spoon 925 silver chick — new life breaking out of the shell

This baby spoon, crafted from 925 sterling silver, features a sculpted chick hatching from its egg at the end of the handle—with large eyes, slightly spread wings, and a cracked eggshell edge. The handle displays a continuous relief pattern of alternating hearts and stars, leading to the highly polished bowl. The contours are subtly blackened, adding depth to the relief. No enamel, no gilding—pure sterling silver with a striking interplay of light and shadow. The smooth reverse side offers space for an engraving (name or date, max. 10 characters) .

The chick design in detail

At the top of the handle, a chick hatches from its eggshell—fully sculpted in three dimensions with a recognizable face, open beak, and small wings. The rim of the broken shell forms a zigzag frame from which the chick emerges. Below, the handle, adorned with a continuous pattern of hearts and stars, leads to the gently rounded bowl of the spoon. The relief contours are subtly oxidized (blackened), which enhances the contrast between the raised areas and the indentations.

Since this spoon belongs to the "Classic without Enamel" category, it forgoes any colored accents. The effect is created by the interplay of high-gloss polish and blackened contours—a process that makes the fine details of the chick motif stand out particularly vividly.

The symbolism of the chick

The chick symbolizes new life, innocence, and the beginning of a new world . Hatching from the egg is one of the most powerful images of the start of life—a moment full of strength, vulnerability, and wonder. The motif is also a symbol of spring, reminiscent of Easter, new beginnings, and nature awakening.

The hearts and stars along the stem complement the symbolism: hearts represent the love that the new life receives, stars the wishes that accompany it.

Material and workmanship

The spoon is crafted from solid 925 sterling silver and bears the official hallmark. The bowl is highly polished, showcasing the typical silver luster. The handle, with its heart and star pattern, provides a tactile, grippy surface for little fingers—a detail intentionally designed in the DoDo collection to stimulate the sensory development of young children.

The subtle blackening (oxidation) in the relief recesses is a traditional silversmithing technique. It accentuates the contours and gives the motif depth without altering the surface. The raised areas remain highly polished.

925 sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. This alloy combines the antibacterial properties of silver with the necessary strength for everyday use.

Care

After use, rinse the baby spoon by hand with warm water and mild dish soap. Then dry it with a soft cloth. For light patina, a silver polishing cloth is sufficient—the shine will return immediately. Because this spoon is made without enamel, there's no need to worry about delicate color layers: The pure silver surface is robust and can be polished at any time. The blackened edges may lighten slightly with intensive polishing—this is normal and part of the natural aging process. Not dishwasher safe. The included gift box is suitable for storage.
