Cradle Medal 925 silver Stars and Moon — rattle pendant on satin ribbon

This 925 silver cradle medal features a small star with a crescent moon on a satin bow – intended for hanging in the nursery. We also call it a rattle pendant: it belongs to our world of rattles – as a piece without a handle, but with a ribbon for hanging.

Material and Craftsmanship

The cradle medal is crafted from 925 sterling silver. The small star features a relief of a crescent moon, both finely worked onto the polished surface. A white satin ribbon with a bow serves as the hanger. Zaramella, a silversmith in Italy, manufactures this piece.

Use and Development

The cradle medal is intended for hanging – on its ribbon in the nursery, for example on a shelf, or as an accompaniment to a larger gift. The star stands for dreams and guidance, the crescent moon for the first night and the wish for protection for a new life.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The small, embossed star shape does not provide a blank surface for engraving. As a personal alternative, we offer our complimentary SilberVerse card on request: individually designed for the occasion, recipient, and sender, in a 15 × 10 cm photo format. More information can be found on our About SilberVerse page. If you would prefer a name in silver, you can find it on our rattle with a smooth handle.

The rest of the Star & Moon series

The same motif is available as a rattle, either smooth or with ribbon decoration on the handle, as a spherical shape with flower rosettes, and as a teething rattle with a pearl-white acrylic ring; for the table setting, it is available as a napkin ring. The series is completed by a baby spoon and a child's cup for a first collection.

Care

Clean the cradle medal with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. For light tarnish, a silver polishing cloth helps; use it gently, guiding it into the crevices of the relief. Avoid harsh cleaning agents and the dishwasher.
