Silver Christening sets are a traditional gift given to commemorate the baptism or christening of a child. They typically consist of a cased knife, fork, and spoon, all made of silver. The design of these sets can vary greatly, from simple and understated to elaborate and ornate.

The handles of the utensils are usually engraved or decorated with intricate designs, such as floral patterns, animals, or religious symbols. They may also feature the child's name, initials, or date of birth.
