Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in your children’s cutlery sets?
Our children’s cutlery sets are typically 3-piece sets designed for little hands (usually a knife, fork and spoon). Individual set contents can vary by maker, so please check the product listing for the exact pieces included.
Are these sets suitable for christenings and first birthdays?
Yes—children’s cutlery is one of the most traditional and meaningful gifts for christenings, naming days, first birthdays and special family occasions. A quality set becomes a keepsake that can be used now and treasured later.
Do you sell sterling silver children’s cutlery?
Yes. We offer sterling silver children’s cutlery from selected makers, chosen for craftsmanship, finish, and long-term heirloom value.
Do you also offer silver plate children’s cutlery?
Yes. We also stock silver plate options, which offer the classic look of silver with a more accessible price point—ideal for gifting and everyday family use.
Which brands do you stock in this collection?
This collection focuses on children’s cutlery from Carrs of Sheffield, Arthur Price and Robbe & Berking, all known for excellent quality and beautiful finishing.
What’s the difference between sterling silver and silver plate?
- Sterling silver is solid silver (typically 925), valued for heirloom quality and longevity.
- Silver plate is a layer of silver over a base metal, offering a similar appearance with easier entry pricing.
If you tell us how the set will be used (keepsake gifting vs regular use), we’re happy to recommend the best option.
Is children’s silver cutlery safe to use?
Yes—children’s cutlery is designed for dining and is made to be comfortable to hold and use. As with any children’s item, we recommend adult supervision, particularly with knives.
Can children’s cutlery be engraved?
In many cases, yes. Engraving is a popular choice for children’s cutlery—especially initials, a name, or a date. If you’re unsure what will fit best, we can advise on placement and style.
How do I care for sterling silver or silver plate children’s cutlery?
To keep your set looking its best:
- Wash and dry promptly after use
- Avoid soaking for long periods
- Store dry, ideally in a pouch or box
- Use a suitable silver polish occasionally (for sterling silver and silver plate)
If you’d like, we can recommend simple care products and routines.
Will silver cutlery tarnish?
Yes—tarnish is normal for both sterling silver and silver plate. It’s a surface reaction and is easily removed with the right polish and a soft cloth.
Is this collection suitable for gifting, and do you offer gift presentation?
These sets are ideal for gifting. If you need gift presentation or would like advice on choosing the right set for the occasion, contact us—we’ll help you select something appropriate and memorable.
I’m not sure which set to choose—can you help?
Absolutely. If you tell us the occasion, budget, and whether you prefer sterling silver or silver plate, we’ll recommend the most suitable options from the collection.
