Independently of age, a baptism ceremony of a child is a solemn ceremony for family, friends and relatives. People who were blessed to become godfather or godmother should present a really meaningful and memorable gift. The tradition among Catholics and Baptists is to present as a christening gift some jewelry pieces that should be made of high-quality silver.
The possibilities are extremely varied when it comes to silver christening gifts -ranging from traditional gifts with a religious meaning to individual ideas that could accompany the person being baptized and his/her family for a lifetime.
Silver jewelry is priceless for such religious occasions. This also applies to baptism. But, of course, it would still much better to present a diamond necklace or a diamond bracelet for baptism. However, an appropriate piece of jewelry would accompany the baptized child for a lifetime.
Silver pendants
One of the classic pieces of jewelry as a christening gift is a necklace and pendant in different variations. The cross is the most popular choice because it represents the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and is a symbol of Christianity. Guardian angels as silver pendants are also very popular. They are available as simple figure pendant or engraved on a small silver plate that can be hung on a chain.
A rattle on ring
As the baptismal candle, this ring is a gift that usually a godfather and godmother give. In contrast, as suggested by the name, a rattle on ring is not worn on the fingers and it is more like a toy. Designed ring is usually made of sterling silver with or without patterns. Of course, there are also rings made of gold or white gold. For an individual gift you can order a rattle with an engraving, for example, with the name and date of baptism of the child.
A refined silver bracelet
Bracelets are beautiful reminders of the baptism and as for the choice – your imagination has no limits. The classic bracelet that is given away at the baptism ceremony is a silver or golden “identity bracelet”. In the middle of a small silver plate the name, date of baptism or a short verse from the Bible can be engraved. If you like it a little less classic then you can make a wristband. For example, order some colorful wooden or glass beads and pearls with letters that make up the name of the godchild and use them in the middle of the bracelet.
Put your soul to choose the gift and it will definitely become the best one!
