Children's mug sterling silver "Stars Gold" with engraving option

Not every family knows their child's gender before birth — and not every gift has to choose between blue and pink. The Stars Gold children's cup made of 925 sterling silver is the classic answer: a slender tumbler with a filigree acanthus handle, a silver star with a gold rim in the center, a gold crown, and two small satellite stars. No enamel, no color designation — just the quiet elegance of silver and gold, given for the birth or baptism of a girl or boy.

Material and Workmanship

The slender tumbler made of 925 sterling silver is highly polished on the outside, and the handle is crafted as a curved acanthus tendril. The star motif comes entirely without colorful enamel: a gold rim, a gold crown in the center, and two small silver satellite stars form a subtle, elegant interplay of silver surface and gilding. Curated from the Royal Childhood collection, which focuses on this reduced design language.

The Collection

With a volume of approx. 150 ml, the cup is generous enough for daily use. The slender tumbler shape fits both small girls' and boys' hands, and the filigree handle provides a secure grip. The star motif is proportionally centered and thus appears balanced even in a small space — a cup that is not immediately categorized as a "girl's" or "boy's" gift.

Special Features and Symbolism

The star is one of humanity's oldest symbols — in every culture, in every tradition, it stands for light in the darkness, for orientation, and the wish that a new person finds their way. The gold crown in the center connects to the Royal Childhood collection: every child is welcomed as a small beacon of hope. A cup with a star says: You have arrived, you shine, we accompany you.

Occasions and Target Groups

The birth of a child is central — the Stars Gold cup is the classic choice for families who do not want to specify the gender or do not yet know it. It is also universally suitable for baptism, for both girls and boys. For twins with mixed genders, many families consciously choose two identical Stars Gold cups instead of separate color schemes. It is also suitable for a first birthday or as a Christmas gift for a small child. Further ideas can be found in our Baptism Gifts and Birth Gifts.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The smooth back of the cup can be engraved — common options are name and birth or baptism date, alternatively a monogram, a short saying, or a Bible verse. We will advise you in advance on placement and font size. When ordering an engraving, we can optionally include a free SilberVerse card: 15 × 10 cm in landscape format, individually designed with a personal message. Engraving in silver plus a message on paper together make a complete birth or baptism gift.

Care

925 sterling silver is durable and food-safe. After use, rinse with lukewarm water and mild dish soap and dry with a soft cloth. For tarnish, a silver polishing cloth helps — in the area of the gilded star motif, preferably without pressure, so that the gilding is protected. No aggressive cleaning agents, no dishwasher. Storage in the included gift box or a velvet pouch minimizes tarnishing.
