Sterling Silver Baby Rattles have been traditional christening gifts for many years because silver symbolized wealth and prosperity. Therefore, giving a silver baby rattle to a newborn, was seen as a way to wish the child a future of financial security and good fortune. This practice often stemmed from the idea that silver had qualities that could bring good health to the baby as well as financial success.

A special gift for new and expected parents, our American Sterling Silver Baby Rattle makes a beautiful heirloom piece that will be loved for many years to come. Our Rattle is easy for small hands to grip and can be enjoyable to play with.

Our American Sterling Silver Baby Rattle is quite elegant in design. Engraving will complement this piece quite well and a personal message or name will be remembered forever.
