Short answer: a christening or newborn gift that lasts is a 925 sterling silver pendant engraved with the baby's name on one side and the date of birth or christening on the other. The mother wears it now, and it becomes a keepsake the child keeps later. At Loretana we engrave it by fiber laser in Lithuania and ship it within 48 hours, in our gift box.
Clothes are outgrown in weeks and toys in months. A small piece of engraved silver keeps the name and the date for years. Here is what to engrave, which piece to choose, and how to order in time.
Who wears it
A necklace is not for the baby to wear: small parts and chains are not safe for young children. The piece is for the mother, the godmother or the grandmother, or it is kept in its box as a keepsake until the child is older.
What to engrave
- Front: the baby's name.
- Back: the date of birth, or the date of the christening.
- For a second or third child: the initials of all the children.
- A small symbol: a heart or a star beside the name.
Each side takes up to 15 characters, and you see the preview before you order.
