Van Kempen & Begeer Kids' Cutlery Perlé - Stainless Steel - 3-piece
The beaded edge catches candlelight and makes your table sparkle
Spoon, knife and fork in child size, ideal for small hands
Dishwasher safe, so cleanup is quick
There are gifts that you give, and there are gifts that last. The Van Kempen & Begeer Kids' Cutlery Perlé belongs to the latter category. This three-piece children's cutlery set - a spoon, a knife, and a fork in child size - is not a disposable gift for a birth or baptism. It marks the beginning of something beautiful: the moment a child first joins the family at the table, eating with their own cutlery. Inspired by real silver craftsmanship, made from timeless 18/10 stainless steel. You only give this once.
Why Perlé is more than just kids' cutlery
The name Perlé comes from the French word for pearl, and that is no coincidence. Along the handle of each piece of cutlery runs a fine edge of small beads - a detail that Dutch silversmiths introduced in the 18th century to give smooth Dutch cutlery that little bit extra. This pearl edge is not just decoration: it catches the light, gives the cutlery character, and makes it immediately recognisable as something special. Not flashy, but classy.
- Timeless design with a story - The pearl edge is a tribute to centuries-old Dutch silversmithing, now translated into modern stainless steel.
- Designed for little hands - The spoon, knife, and fork are child-sized, so your child can hold them comfortably and eat with ease.
- Light and well-balanced - The knives have a hollow handle, making them pleasantly light and perfectly balanced in a small hand.
- Shiny 18/10 stainless steel - High-quality steel that does not fade or rust, and lasts for years. This is cutlery for life.
- Simply dishwasher safe - After a tasty meal, you don't want to spend long washing up. Perlé can go straight in the dishwasher, so you're done quickly.
- A meaningful gift - For a birth, baptism, or first birthday: this is the gift that parents keep and children later cherish.
Little hands, big moments
Do you remember those meals as a child, at the big family table? That feeling of belonging, of participating? With the Perlé kids' cutlery, you give a child exactly that feeling - but with tools that are truly made for them. The child size is not just a smaller version: the size is deliberately tailored to the fine motor skills of young children. The fork has shorter tines, the spoon has a clear scoop, and the knife feels pleasantly light in the hand thanks to the hollow handle. This way, children learn to eat independently in a natural way, without struggling with cutlery that is too big or too heavy.
And while you enjoy your meal, that fine pearl edge shines in the candlelight. Small details make a big impression - even at the kids' table.
Quality that lasts for years
Van Kempen & Begeer is not a name you come across every day. This Dutch brand has been making cutlery for generations with attention to craftsmanship and sustainability. The Perlé kids' cutlery is made from 18/10 stainless steel - the gold standard in quality cutlery. The number 18/10 refers to the composition: 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This ensures exceptional rust resistance, a deep shine, and a surface that withstands daily use. This cutlery does not fade, tarnish, or lose its shine after dozens of dishwasher cycles.
Want to keep the shine looking beautiful for longer? Occasionally wash it by hand and dry it immediately after washing. That takes you two minutes, and the result is cutlery that looks just as radiant in ten years as it did on day one.
The perfect gift - also for yourself
Are you looking for a gift for a baby shower, baptism, or name day? Then you are in the right place. The Perlé kids' cutlery from Van Kempen & Begeer is exactly the kind of gift about which parents later say: "We still have this." It is not a cuddly toy that wears out after a year, nor a toy that gets traded in for something new. It is a piece of table history that travels from babyhood to childhood - and sometimes even longer.
But honestly: you don't need to be looking for a gift to bring this into your home. If your child is joining the table and you want to give them a good start, then this is simply the logical choice. Smart, stylish, and practical at the same time.
💡 Cookinglife Tip: Have the cutlery engraved with the child's name or birth date - many jewellers and engraving shops can do this on stainless steel. This way, you turn a beautiful gift into an unforgettable keepsake.
