FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about the blackened 925 silver christening spoon

What does the blackening on the silver spoon mean?
Blackening is a traditional process in which silver is partially oxidized. This creates a dark contrast that emphasizes engravings and gives the spoon an antique look – without affecting the quality of the silver.

Can the spoon be engraved?
Yes. There is space on the back of the stem for a name, baptism date, or a short dedication. The engraving is precise and blends harmoniously with the ornament.

Is 925 silver suitable for children?
Yes. 925 sterling silver is nickel-free, antibacterial, and safe for health. The spoon is primarily a symbolic keepsake, not everyday cutlery.

How should the spoon be cared for?
Clean by hand only with a soft cloth and silver polishing cloth. Do not put in a dishwasher. If necessary, polish lightly to maintain the natural shine.

Are there other variations?
Yes. The Orthodox collection also includes versions with colored enamel and gilding – in red, blue, or green. Each version depicts Saint Matrona of Moscow in exquisite handcrafted detail.

Care & Storage

Store the christening spoon in its gift box to protect it from tarnishing and scratches. For longer storage, a silver polishing cloth or anti-tarnish strip will help. To maintain its shine, we recommend the Poliboy silver polishing cloth , available at drugstores.
