Sterling silver baby rattles have long been a traditional feature of many nurseries. Often passed down from one generation to the next, they are as durable and functional as they are charming and attractive. A silver baby rattle makes a meaningful gift, one that will surely be treasured for years to come.

In years gone by some rattles were constructed with a handle that had inserted into it a smooth piece of stone or bone that was used for the baby to suck upon and teethe. This end of the rattle was known as the gum stick and could be made of rock crystal, ivory, agate, carnelian, mother-of-pearl, bone, or coral, all of which felt cool upon the gums.

In the United States, hollow clay figures shaped like birds or dogs were made with small balls inside that would rattle. These, too were often meant for adults to shake.
Clay is too easily broken and unsafe for a baby. By the 1800s, the famous silversmith Paul Revere and others were making silver rattles that also could be chewed. In the early 20th century, Tiffany's, the famous New York company, made sterling-silver rattles as baby gifts.
