Spoon Rings

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed...

Something Old: Sterling Silver Spoon Rings are said to have originated in 17th century England. Legends state that servants who could not afford wedding rings would steal silverware from manor houses, and in turn, make the stolen silverware into wedding rings. Precious metal was out of reach for most servants during this time. Spoon rings are an old-time tradition whose popularity has varied over the past 35 years.

Something New: The original Sterling Silver Spoon is made into a Spoon Ring by using the spoon handle. The spoon portion of the silverware is cut from the handle portion, and with the handle, the jeweler uses various techniques to achieve the rings shape and size. Sterling Silver Spoon Rings can be very versatile, they almost always are adjustable to fit any ring finger and size. The original spoon becomes new when it is transformed into your ring!

Something Borrowed: The old time wedding tradition of borrowing an item to symbolize longevity fits perfectly with our Sterling Silver Spoon Ring Collection. Our Rose Spoon Ring, Lily, Sunflower, Tulip, Daffodil, and Large Flower Spoon Ring all come from aged silverware collections. Each ring that is fabricated is done with one of our unique aged silverware pieces that we have acquired through the years. In turn, each new ring that is made is from a unique and beautiful borrowed silverware handle.

Spoon Rings make great gifts for any occasion. Brides, Bridesmaids, Maids of Honor, best friends, or any special time when the gift you need has to be something unique and different. These rings are gifts that will be treasured forever.....
