Silver Baby Rattle 925 Daisy — Bell on a Handle

This baby rattle in 925 sterling silver carries neither a ball nor a disc, but a small bell: wide at the top, narrowing towards the bottom, with a smooth dome. Vertical edges divide the sides, and between them, on the front and back, stands a daisy in relief, with leaves and a tendril.

Silver Daisy Baby Rattle: the Relief on the Bell

Between the edges, the petals open out like rays around a grained centre; below it follows a stem with leaves, with further leafy tendrils beside it. The relief stands raised from the silver on the front and back of the bell. The dome at the top and the upper part of the handle stay smooth, and baby hands explore this change between smooth and raised as they grasp. The loop sits where the bell meets the handle. Towards the bottom the handle becomes wider and carries flowers and leaves once more at the grip end. Zaramella Argenti in Italy makes the rattle; it measures approx. 13 cm and weighs approx. 18 g, and the weight differs slightly from piece to piece.

In the language of flowers, the daisy stands for innocence and spring.

Bell, Disc or Ball: the Daisy in Three Heads

This one is the bell on a handle. If you would rather see the flower spread across a single surface, choose the handle rattle with a daisy on a round disc. The ball rattle with a daisy carries relief all the way round and has an engraving panel on the handle. The bell head also hangs on a pearl-white acrylic ring (teething ring rattle with a daisy bell); there the baby grasps the ring, not the handle. You can find them all among the silver baby rattles.

For a Birth, Christening and Baby Shower: Who Gives the Bell

For a birth, when it should not be an animal motif. For a christening, when you would like to do without a cross and an angel. For a baby shower, as long as the name is still a secret: this rattle does not need an engraving.

Adding the Name Without Engraving

The handle is covered in relief except for a narrow smooth strip at the top, and the head leaves no suitable surface for an engraving either. Instead of engraving there is the SilberVerse card, a photo card in landscape format (15 × 10 cm) that stands in the standard frame. A verse of three to four lines is printed on it, written specially for the child and the occasion according to your details. On request it is enclosed free of charge, with this rattle too; you can find out more on the SilberVerse page. If, on the other hand, the name should go into the silver, the daisy ball with an engraving panel is the right choice.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Daisy Rattle with a Bell

How long does a silver baby rattle last?
We do not promise a lifespan. As for the material: 925 sterling silver darkens over time and can be polished up again. For everyday care, water, a little washing-up liquid and a soft cloth are enough; you can reach into the relief with a soft brush, and a silver polishing cloth brings the shine back. The dishwasher and harsh cleaners are off limits. More on this in the guide to caring for children's silver.

How heavy is the bell compared with the disc and the ball?
The bell weighs approx. 18 g and so less than the daisy disc (approx. 22 g) and the ball with an engraving panel (approx. 28 g). All three are approx. 13 cm long, and each piece weighs slightly differently.

What is a nice christening gift in silver?
One that lasts and suits the child without fixing any wishes. The daisy bell is a calm motif for a christening; the Gifts for a Christening collection offers more choice.

Is the bell also available to hold by a ring?
Yes, as the teething ring rattle with a daisy. It hangs on a pearl-white acrylic ring that the baby can grasp alone; it cannot be engraved.

Does the rattle come in a gift box?
Yes, the rattle comes ready to give in a fine gift box. Its design may change.

Does the daisy rattle with bell have a hallmark?
The daisy rattle with bell is hallmarked and bears a fineness stamp (hallmark). On request, we'll send you photos in advance. It also comes with the maker's certificate card.
