Antique British Sterling Silver "Coral & Bell" Baby Rattle, Whistle, Pacifier

We would like to introduce the British antique "Coral & Bell".

"Coral & Bell" is an antique baby rattle (a toy that combines a rattle, pacifier, and whistle) that was popular in Europe and America from the 18th to 19th centuries.
This was an extremely luxurious craft that was given by the wealthy at the time to celebrate the birth of a child.

The sterling silver body has two bells that make a sound when shaken, and can also be used as a whistle by blowing into the tip.
The red part is made from natural coral, which has long been believed to have strong protective powers that protect children from evil spirits.
It comes with a jump ring so you can attach it to a necklace or other items.


We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
