Forget being born with a silver spoon, when your mommy is Gwen Stefani you automatically qualify for something much flashier. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s youngest son, Zuma Nesta Rock, will be eating from a $4,000 diamond encrusted spoon when he graduates to solids. The members of Gwen’s former band, No Doubt, got together and decided a diamond encrusted baby spoon was the best way to spend $4K as a gift for their former singer’s bundle of joy.

A source said: “Gwen loves it. She would never buy it herself, but that is what makes it so special.”

The specially-made sterling silver baby spoon was created by exclusive jewellers Chrome Hearts.

I’m on board for just about anything “diamond encrusted,” even saying the words feels decadent, but a baby spoon is one step too far for me. When Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was born, a crafty pacifier maker created a binky with 3 carats worth of pave cut diamonds in solid white gold in her name and the first thing that leapt to mind was how dangerous it sounded. The Its My Binky people, though, said it wasn’t actually meant to be used by a baby, so then I wanted one.

Assuming for safety’s sake that the spoon is the same kind of deal, and Stefani won’t actually be feeding her baby with it, I’ve been scouring the internet for one of my own. Or at least the knowledge of where to get one should I ever have a spare $4,000 laying around to buy a little spoon with, but I was unsuccessful. I found silver spoons with one diamond for around $1,200 but nothing encrusted for $4,000 and encrusted is the important part of the equation. Lucky Zuma.
