Silver Baby Rattle 925 Flowers — Ball Rattle, Engraving Panel

A large flower with a few broad petals and a finely gridded centre lies on the ball of this baby rattle in 925 sterling silver; tendrils and leaves, worked flat, run around it. The silver leaves open which flower is meant. At the end of the handle a smooth panel is left free for a name, a date or initials.

Flower Rattle with Engraving in Silver: a Panel on the Handle

The panel lies at the grip end: smooth, oval, framed by flourishes below. Here and only here is engraving done; the ball and the tendrils stay untouched. The surface is small and takes up to 10 characters, for example “Jonas”, “J. M. K.” or “Mia 2027”.

The engraving service fee that you add to the basket for this carries “20 characters” in its name because it is built for smooth handles. On this panel, 10 still apply. If you have placed an engraving order, there is no right of withdrawal for this rattle; so only order it once the text is settled. Allow 1–3 more working days when engraving is done.

What does not fit on the panel can be taken over by the SilberVerse card. It is enclosed on request and costs nothing: a verse of three to four lines for the child and the occasion, printed on photo paper in landscape format (15 × 10 cm) and in the standard frame. It does not require an engraving. More about the card is on the SilberVerse page.

Flower Ball Rattle in Silver: Tendrils, Leaves and a Gridded Centre

The flower takes up a large part of the ball. Its petals are drawn broad and round, and the centre carries a fine diamond pattern. The tendrils all around are worked more flatly than the flower itself and give it precedence. The ball is designed the same on both sides; the large flower sits at the back too. The loop sits beneath the ball, and on the handle a row of small leaf motifs and a shell ornament follow before the panel begins. The rattle is approx. 13 cm long, its weight is approx. 28 g and turns out slightly different from piece to piece. You can remove dust from the tendrils with a soft brush.

Beside the Daisy: the Flower with Broad Petals

The ball rattle with a daisy has the same handle and the same panel. Its ball carries many narrow petals around a grained centre; here there are a few broad ones. Whether you prefer the many-petalled or the broader flower is a matter of taste; dimensions and engraving space are the same. If the ball is to manage entirely without a panel and have openwork, there is the openwork ball rattle with flowers. All three are among the silver baby rattles.

Date, First Name or Initials: Who Chooses What

For a christening the date suggests itself, for a birth the first name, and where the full name does not fit, initials are enough. If the name is not yet settled, the engraving is omitted, and the baby rattle with a flower motif and a smooth panel is still a complete gift.
