Christening is one of the most special moments in the life of a child and his family. The gift of this day is not just a gesture - it remains a memory and is often cherished for a lifetime.

Therefore, most often a golden jewel is chosen - a symbol of protection, blessing and connection between the people present at the ritual.


What christening gift to choose?

Some jewellery carries a spiritual meaning, others a personal and emotional one.

How to choose size and safety for a baby

When choosing a piece of jewelry for a baby, the most important thing is safety.

It is good to follow a few rules:

  • the jewellery to be light and fine
  • without sharp edges
  • without large protruding elements
  • the bracelet is thin and comfortable

For baptism, very small medallions are usually chosen, which can be worn for a short time or kept as a memento.
Many parents harvest the jewel after the ritual and the child wears it later.


Traditions and symbolism
