Baptism is a rite of passage, a moment imbued with spirituality, symbolism, and promises. It is often the first official ceremony for a child, a presentation to the world and sometimes, to faith. At Valois Varden, we offer you the opportunity to commemorate this moment with a lasting and deeply personal keepsake: a piece of jewelry containing a precious material, chosen with love, to accompany the child throughout their life.
Because beyond traditions, baptism is a moment of connection: between the child and their loved ones, between generations, between the past and the future. And what could be more powerful than a piece of jewelry that keeps the memory alive?
A Gift from a Godfather or Godmother, Worn for a Lifetime
Being a godparent is much more than a title. It's an emotional, spiritual, and moral commitment. Giving a Valois Varden jewel to a baptized child is a powerful gesture, full of promise and tenderness. This necklace, discreet yet meaningful, can contain a drop of holy water from the ceremony, a grain of consecrated salt, or a fragment of the ribbon used to encircle the candle.
This piece of jewelry will not simply be a decorative object. Over time, it will become a silent symbol of the godparent's presence, a personal touchstone that the child can rediscover at each stage of their life. It will remind them that they are never alone, that someone believed in them from the very beginning. 
A First Spiritual Jewel, Unique and Intimate
Many receive a chain or medal for their baptism. But at Valois Varden, we reinvent this traditional gesture to infuse it with more emotion, more memory, more personalization. Our jewelry can incorporate a flower from the altar, a strand of incense used during the ceremony, or even a small piece of fabric from the baptismal gown—all discreet yet powerful elements that will make the piece a silent witness to this sacred day.
Giving such a necklace is a way of saying to the child, their family, and yourself: "This moment is engraved. It now lives on in this piece of jewelry."
A Jewel That Contains a Story
As always with Valois Varden, jewelry is not merely aesthetic: it is a vehicle for memories, emotions, and personal stories. Each necklace can be crafted to hold a material linked to the precise moment of the baptism, thus creating a physical connection between the jewelry and the story it tells.
Far from standardized objects, each creation is conceived as an intimate fragment, a precious memory capsule. It is not simply a religious or ceremonial jewel, but a portable story, passed down with love and kept like a talisman.
Emotional and Bespoke Luxury
Giving a Valois Varden necklace as a christening gift is choosing emotional refinement and understated luxury, yet one imbued with meaning. We guide you every step of the way to ensure the piece becomes entirely personalized, as precious as the moment it commemorates.
Our artisanal expertise allows us to delicately integrate the chosen material, while respecting the harmony and elegance inherent in our collections. Each piece of jewelry is unique, designed to last, to endure through the years without ever losing the strength of its origin.
