The biggest spoons I've made - 26 cm long (over 10" in old money) and weighing over three ounces each. These salad servers have an embossed pattern on the spoon stem made by rolling fibreglass matting onto the handle. They are a mixture of bright polish, texture and satin finish.

The title says it all!  The hallmarks are on the back of the stem.

Just another permutation - I intend that the dome could have some engraving or detail soldered on to it.  This would be well within the legal allowance and so would not invalidate the hallmark.

Rather like the olive stone one above with a variant on the stem. Twisting actually makes tit stronger.

This stone is azurite, but it could be a birthstone or one of sentimental value. It is about 14 cm long.

This is quite a big spoon - 5.5" or 13 cm and very suited to have the stem engraved as a Christening present.

This is serious weight - about 74g 2.4 to 2.6 ounces depending whether you work on troy or avoirdupois ounces  (1 troy ounces is about 31g whereas an avoirdupois ounce (the more common) is about 28g).  These are 27 cm long - about 11".  I'd be happy to cut prongs into one of the bowls to make a fork/ spoon set if required.  (See above).

A silver Christening spoon is always a popular gift. Some people prefer to have them engraved with the child's full name or just the initials. This set is for a family of three who were christened on the same day.

Where I make the spoons in the same year, they can have the date stamp of the year of birth. Late December births can be a problem and I had to make a spoon with a long handle for my second great-nephew William Anthony Huddleston! I used the bowl of his sister's Christening spoon for the hallmarks for 2006 (the year of her birth) with her name engraved along the stem.

An alternative for a Christening gift for a girl is a cross or a bracelet or bangle engraved with her name or initials.
