Spoon Rings
Many believe that spoon rings originated in the 17th Century. Servants of wealthy families would steal silver cutlery to make rings as they couldn't afford to buy engagement rings.
Nowadays, silverware is not commonly used and can usually be found gathering dust in an attic or other storage. Spoon rings and other jewellery are a beautiful way to admire and repurpose these items - giving them a new life.
The Process...
Sourcing Spoons
The first step is to purchase spoons, suitable to make spoon rings. This can be a very time-consuming process.
Make the ring
The most fun step of the process is creating the ring! The spoons are cleaned, flattened, cleaned, bent into shape and cleaned again!
Quality Check
Of course each ring has to be checked before being sent off. Each ring is unique and due to the age of spoons, some flaws are expected!
Voila!
Each ring is polished again before being uploaded onto the website and landing safely into your hands :)
Materials
Our spoon rings are made from a variety of materials including sterling silver, EPNS, gold plated and stainless steel.
