The sterling silver top of this round hairbrush is complemented perfectly by soft natural bristles. Ideal to gently brush your baby's hair. This is one of the over the moon sterling silver baby gifts that can be used for the early years of the baby's life and become a talking point for years to come.

For those who are interested in how we make this brush a brief description follows from John Campbell. Being silversmiths we do not actually make the brushes themselves however we do make the brush back by turning a piece of maple wood on the lathe, it is then sent to the brush maker who drills holes in the wood to accept the bristles. These are looped and pulled through the wood using thin wires and then secured on the back surface. The silver part we make by the "spinning" method by coaxing a silver disc over a pre formed shape called a chuck using a polished steel burnisher. This is done while the disc and chuck are spinning together.

Next the silver brush back is sent to the London Assay Office where it is tested (assayed) to ensure it is made of at least 92.5% silver. Following a positive result from the laboratory the hallmarks are burned into the surface of the silver using a laser. This is one of the oldest and best forms of consumer protection and began in the 1400s.

Upon return to the silversmith's workshop the silver brush back is polished, using 4 different grades of compound. It is then decorated with the moon and star motifs. The silver back is then lapped on to the brush and finally packed into the unusual presentation boxes for dispatch.

All the sterling silver collection is handmade from hallmarked sterling silver in England, at our Brentwood workshop - made up to a standard not down to a price.
