Material and workmanship

The rattle head has a diamond shape with faceted, beveled edges, within which two doves facing each other sit on a branch, framed by roses and leaves. The handle continues the floral theme with vines and a large blossom at the lower end. The rattle is crafted by the Italian silver manufacturer Zaramella Argenti.

Usage and everyday life

The rattle sits well in the hand with its handle. Inside the diamond, small silver balls move when shaken. The faceted edges and rich relief offer little fingers plenty of tactile variety. The dove carries one of the oldest meanings of all: it stands for peace, purity, and gentleness and is considered a sign of blessing at a christening in the Christian tradition. Two doves facing each other also stand for loyalty and unity — an image of a family that stands together.

Occasions and target groups

For godparents who wish to present a gift with Christian symbolism for a christening, the pair of doves is an obvious choice. It is equally suitable for parents looking for a gift that expresses family and unity, as well as for grandparents who want to give a gift with symbolic value. This rattle is also well-suited as a gender-neutral gift for a birth with spiritual depth.

Care

Clean the rattle with warm water and mild dish soap and dry it with a soft cloth. For the fine details of the relief, a soft brush can help; for light tarnish, a silver polishing cloth is sufficient. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents; not dishwasher safe.
