Spoon rings are thought to have originated in 17th century England, when people began making rings from the metal handles of table flatware. Silver rings have been found dating back as far as 700 AD, so it's difficult to say when the first spoon rings were made. Spoon rings can symbolize love, commitment, responsibility, and risk. Their modern meaning is modesty, but they are still practical.
