Why choose our personalised gift for a christening or communion?
At Merci Maman, everything is designed to celebrate precious moments and create a unique and memorable gift. Each gift is hand-engraved in our Parisian workshop. That’s what makes each of our creations one-of-a-kind.
A personalised gift for a baptism or First Communion is not only a unique way to mark the occasion, but also a precious piece of jewellery that will be cherished for years to come. Our personalised jewellery is perfect for godparents who wish to honor their godchild, or for parents who want to celebrate their child.
For children, godparents, and parents, a piece of jewelry can become a powerful symbol of shared family moments and unbreakable bonds of love. Our creations also serve as a way to thank everyone who has agreed to play an important role in your child’s life. They can therefore also be given to guests.

FAQ: Our answers to frequently asked questions about gift ideas for christenings and communions
Are the necklaces and bracelets adjustable as the child grows?
Yes. Our Mini Identity and Liberty bracelets feature adjustable braids or sliding knots to accommodate growing wrists.
For necklaces, we offer different chain lengths; for younger children, we generally recommend a shorter 38 cm chain, which can be replaced with a longer version when they reach adulthood, ensuring the engraved pendant remains a cherished keepsake for life.
Is 9-carat gold suitable for a child’s everyday wear?
9-carat gold is very durable and is perfectly suited to special occasions.
It is harder and more scratch-resistant than 18-carat gold, making it an excellent choice for active children.
However, we recommend that very young children wear the jewellery under adult supervision and that it is removed whilst sleeping or during physical play, as a safety precaution.
What information is traditionally engraved for a major religious occasion?
The personalisation is entirely up to you, but for christenings and communions, the most common choices are the child’s first name on the front and the date of the ceremony on the back.
For gifts intended for godparents, many choose ‘Godmother’ or ‘Godfather’ accompanied by the child’s name or a short phrase such as ‘Walk with me’.
How should you care for this jewellery to ensure it lasts for years?
To preserve the shine of your jewellery, polish it gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes or chlorine from swimming pools.
When you are not wearing the jewellery, store it in the Merci Maman box provided to prevent the metal from tarnishing or the chain from becoming tangled.
Are the materials used hypoallergenic?
Our collections are crafted from high-quality materials, including 18-carat gold plating, 925 sterling silver and 9-carat solid gold.
These materials are generally suitable for sensitive skin; however, if you have an allergy to certain metals, we recommend choosing our 9-carat gold or sterling silver ranges.
Is it possible to add charms to a piece of jewellery at a later date?
Many of our iconic necklaces and bracelets are designed to be customisable. As the years go by, your family may grow or significant events may occur (such as a confirmation following a christening), and you can contact us to add charms or hand-engraved pendants to your jewellery.
