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.
