Looking for a christening gift that outlasts the day? Here is our guide to choosing a christening piece a child can wear through life.

Who gives a christening gift?

Traditionally, the christening piece comes from a godmother, godfather or sponsor, but grandparents often give a piece too. A silver pendant is just as fitting at a naming ceremony or welcome party.

Choose a meaningful symbol

Let the motif say something:

• Heart – love and care
• Angel – protection
• Star or moon – something to wish upon
• Sailing boat – life's journey

Material and skin-friendliness

Our christening jewellery is made in nickel-free 925 sterling silver – gentle on delicate skin and durable enough to be worn for years.

Chain length

Choose 36 cm for the very smallest and 42 cm that grows with the child. Many keep the piece and switch to a longer chain later.

Engraving

A name or christening date on the back makes the piece personal – a keepsake for life.
