Silver Gifts for a Newborn: A Guide to Nazariya, Baby Kada & Keepsakes
In many Indian families, silver is the first precious metal a baby receives. Whether you are visiting for a naming ceremony, an annaprashan or simply meeting the new arrival, a silver gift is meaningful, practical and something the family can keep for years.
What is a nazariya?
A nazariya is a bracelet with black beads, traditionally given to protect a baby from nazar, the evil eye. Our nazariya bracelets combine black beads with 925 sterling silver, and many are adjustable so they grow with the child.

Safety tips for babies
- Always supervise a baby wearing jewellery, and remove it for sleep and bath time.
- Check clasps and beads regularly, and stop using any piece that is loose or damaged.
- Choose the right size: it should sit comfortably without pinching or slipping off.
- Rattles and coins are keepsakes; keep small items out of reach when not supervised.
Why sterling silver?
Our baby jewellery is 925 sterling silver, stamped 925, which is strong enough for little hands and easy to clean. Read more in 925 Sterling Silver vs Pure Silver.
