Baby spoon 925 silver chick gold

Baby spoon 925 silver chick — Gilded hatching motif with golden shine

This baby spoon, crafted from 925 sterling silver, features a three-dimensional chick hatching from its egg at the end of the handle—embellished with a delicate gold plating that lends the motif a warm, festive character. The same chick design as the blackened version—but in gold instead of black, with a completely different appeal. Three tactile bumps in the spoon bowl and a richly embossed handle with hearts and stars make this silver spoon a sensory companion for those very first meals.

Gilding — The chick in golden light

While the blackened chick design thrives on dark contrasts, this model embraces the warmth of gold. The gilding is applied to the raised areas of the chick motif—the hatching chick with its spread wings, open beak, and cracked eggshell shines in a warm golden hue. The contrast with the cool, polished silver of the handle creates a vibrant interplay that makes the baby spoon a true eye-catcher. The embossed hearts and stars on the handle also benefit from the golden accents and stand out even more vividly than in the monochrome version. Gold on silver—two precious metals that have complemented each other for centuries, united here in a silver baby spoon that exudes both playfulness and festive elegance.

Material and workmanship

The spoon is made of solid 925 sterling silver and meticulously crafted in the ArgentA manufactory. At the end of the handle, a three-dimensional chick hatches from a cracked eggshell—complete with a recognizable face, tiny wings, and a zigzag edge from which it emerges. The handle is decorated along its entire length with an alternating pattern of hearts and stars in relief, interspersed with gilded accents. The spoon bowl features three subtle raised areas—the tactile points of the DoDo collection, designed to playfully stimulate a baby's sense of touch and taste. Weighing approximately 16 grams and measuring 11.5 centimeters in length, this baby spoon is comfortable to hold—light enough for first attempts at eating, yet sturdy enough to last a lifetime.

The chick as a symbol — new life, spring and new beginnings

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. In its gilded version, this symbol gains an additional dimension: gold has always represented warmth, permanence, and appreciation. A golden chick emerging from its egg combines the fragility of new beginnings with the promise of strength and abundance. The motif is also a symbol of spring, evoking Easter, new beginnings, and nature awakening. The hearts and stars along the stem further enhance the symbolism: hearts represent the love that the new life receives, and stars the wishes that accompany it.

Baptism, birth and special occasions

A baby spoon made of 925 sterling silver is one of the most traditional gifts you can give for the birth of a child. The custom of giving a newborn a silver spoon dates back centuries and symbolizes prosperity, protection, and good wishes for life. Presented as a christening spoon , this spoon becomes a lasting memento of one of the most important days in a family's life. The chick motif makes it especially suitable for spring births and Easter. This model is particularly suitable for:

• Birth: As the first silver gift — the hatching motif as a perfect metaphor for the beginning of life
• Baptism: A lasting baptismal gift from the godparents or grandparents
• Easter: The chick as a timeless symbol of spring and Easter — a christening gift that suits the occasion
• Baby shower: For gift-givers looking for something special and lasting

Whether for parents, grandparents, godparents, or close friends—anyone looking for a christening or birth gift with spring symbolism and a golden sheen will find this spoon the perfect choice. The combination of the chick motif and the gilding is especially appealing to those who want to convey vibrancy, warmth, and festivity.

Care and instructions

Clean the spoon exclusively by hand with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid dishwashers, harsh detergents, and silver dips—the latter could damage the gold plating. For the polished silver surfaces, we recommend a special silver polishing cloth if needed. The gold-plated accents are durable but benefit from gentle care. 925 sterling silver is food-safe, nickel-free, and possesses natural antibacterial properties—one of the safest materials for children's cutlery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the gold-plated and the blackened chick versions?
The spoons are identical in shape and size. The difference lies in the finish: this version features gilding on the chick motif and the relief accents, while the blackened version uses pure oxidation without any color. Both have the same hatching chick and the same heart and star relief.

What does a christening spoon mean and why is it given as a gift?
The baptismal spoon is a centuries-old tradition in German-speaking countries: A silver spoon at baptism symbolizes the wish that the child will be blessed "with a silver spoon" throughout their life—a symbol of prosperity, health, and happiness. The meaning of the baptismal spoon extends beyond the material: It is often kept for generations and connects family members over time.

Is this baby spoon also available as a silver spoon with engraving?
No, both sides of the handle feature continuous relief decorations with gilding, leaving no free space for engraving. Engravable silver spoons with engraving are available in our engraving service —there you'll find several designs with a smooth back.

Is gold plating safe for health?
Yes. The gold plating consists of a thin layer of gold on 925 sterling silver. Both materials are completely safe for babies and have been used in cutlery manufacturing for centuries.

What are the tactile points in the spoon bowl?
Three small bumps on the inside of the recess stimulate the baby's tongue during feeding. This sensory element is a key feature of the DoDo collection and playfully promotes taste perception.

Classic chick — the blackened version

The same chick motif is also available in a completely blackened version without gilding : The classic chick baby spoon (SKU 11568, €179.95) uses oxidized contours instead of gold, giving the relief a monochrome depth. The shape and size are identical—the only difference lies in the finish. Those who prefer the cool silver tone without golden accents will find the perfect alternative there.
