Birth spoon 925 silver airplane with birth clock – keepsake gift

Birth spoon airplane 925 silver — clouds as engraving fields, birth clock and DoDo design

An airplane flies through clouds, and the clouds are the engraving fields . This birth spoon, crafted from 925 sterling silver in ArgentA's DoDo collection , combines the airplane motif with the classic birth markings, seamlessly blending motif and function. The birth clock sits at the top of the handle, below which a propeller plane climbs through the sky, and the cloud formations bear the inscriptions "gr." and "cm." – ready for your child's birth details. The oxidized background adds depth and contrast to the reliefs. A birth spoon that tells a story: the first flight into life.

The DoDo Collection by ArgentA -- Russian silver art for the beginning of life

The DoDo collection is manufactured by the Russian silversmith ArgentA and includes baby spoons, gift sets, and silver accessories for newborns. What distinguishes DoDo is the combination of playful design and functional sophistication : every motif becomes part of the product's function. On this birth spoon, the clouds through which the airplane flies also serve as the designated engraving areas for the birth details.

Unlike classic European baby spoons, DoDo uses narrative motifs with a sense of depth . The oxidized background highlights the reliefs, giving the airplane plasticity and the clouds definition. What would appear two-dimensional on a flat, polished spoon becomes a three-dimensional scene here, one that can be explored with the fingertips.

The airplane motif -- a scene that can be interpreted

The stem tells a coherent story from its tip to its hollow. Each element fulfills a dual role: as image and as function.

Stem tip: the birth clock

At the tip of the stem sits a round dial with the numerals 12, 3, 6, and 9. Hands are deliberately omitted—the exact birth time is represented by a diamond engraving. A narrow, dark ring frames the dial, typical of the DoDo style: minimalist, without baroque ornamentation. This birth clock is the first thing that catches the eye.

Upper stem: the aircraft in climb

Directly below the clock, a propeller plane rises dynamically, with outstretched wings and propeller pointing upwards. The depiction is three-dimensional: the aircraft has volume, the wings reach out into space. The oxidized, matte background creates depth—the silver relief stands out brightly and brilliantly against the darker background, as if the plane were actually flying through a sky.

Middle and lower stem: the cloud engraving fields

Herein lies the unique design feature of this birth spoon: The engraved areas are not simple ovals, but shaped like clouds – a natural part of the flying scene. The first cloud bears the inscription "gr." for birth weight, followed by another with "cm." for birth length. Both blend seamlessly into the scene: The airplane is flying, the clouds are drifting by, and the birth details are inscribed within the clouds.

This principle – engraving fields as part of the design – is also found in the DoDo range on the train birth spoon (SKU 11652), where the train carriages form the data fields. On the airplane spoon, it's the clouds. The birth details don't appear out of place, but rather as a natural part of the narrative. Weight and height literally float in the clouds – a metaphor that could hardly be more fitting for a birth spoon.

The spoon bowl

The oval spoon bowl is polished to a mirror finish, creating a deliberate contrast with the matte, textured handle. It is the size of a teaspoon and is also suitable as a dessert or porridge spoon for first meals – provided the child is eating under supervision.

Birth clock and engraving -- this is how the spoon is personalized

The engraving system of this birth spoon comprises four fields which together form a complete birth record in silver:

1. Dial (stem tip) -- the birth clock
Diamond engraving adds hour and minute hands that point to the exact time of birth. For example, a child born at 10:47 a.m. receives hands that point to that time. The pre-printed dial is transformed into a personalized birth clock.

2. Cloud field "gr." (middle stem) -- birth weight
The birth weight is engraved in the first cloud – for example, "3250" for 3,250 grams. This area is part of the cloud relief and blends seamlessly into the airplane scene.

3. Cloud field "cm." (lower stem) -- birth size
The second cloud records the birth size – for example, "51" for 51 centimeters. Together with the weight field, it documents the physical measurements at birth, embedded in the cloud landscape.

4. Back of the stem -- name and dedication
The smooth back provides space for the child's first name and a personal dedication such as "From Grandma & Grandpa" or "From Godmother Anna". If desired, the date of birth can also be added on the back.

Engraving type and ordering

All engravings are done using diamond engraving – a diamond stylus etches fine, permanent lines into the silver. Since each field is engraved individually, please contact us before ordering . Send us the date of birth, weight, height, name, and dedication – via WhatsApp, chat, email, or through our engraving service page.

What the airplane symbolizes -- meaning of the motif

The airplane is a symbol of adventure, freedom, and big dreams . It represents the desire to discover the world and overcome boundaries. "Seeing the world from above" —that's the promise this motif conveys. On a birth spoon, it becomes a metaphor for life's journey: taking off, rising, flying through clouds, keeping the goal in sight. The first flight is the flight into life.

The fact that the clouds form the engraving areas on this spoon makes the symbolism even more profound: the birth data floats in the clouds through which the airplane travels. Weight and height are not just numbers on silver—they are milestones on the first flight.

The airplane motif is gender-neutral and suitable for both boys and girls. While it's often chosen as a gift for boys, a thirst for adventure knows no gender. It's especially popular with families who have wanderlust, parents in the aviation industry, and anyone who wants to signal to their child: Your journey begins now.

Occasions and target groups -- who should receive this birth spoon as a gift?

For the birth – the classic moment. Birth time, weight, height, and name are immortalized on the spoon. A timeless welcome gift from grandparents, godparents, or close friends.

For baptisms – the silver spoon is one of the traditional baptism gifts. This birth spoon combines the tradition with personal birth details and an airplane motif.

For the first birthday -- even twelve months after birth, the data is still current and can be engraved.

For grandparents seeking a lasting gift. For godparents who want to present a lasting keepsake at a christening. For parents with wanderlust who see their own passion reflected in the airplane motif. For families in the aviation industry —pilots, flight attendants, engineers—who have a personal connection to the design.

Can I give the spoon as a gift without engraving?
Yes. The airplane relief, the cloud formations, and the birth clock are already there. The engraving can be added later.
