Vintage Silverware Spoon Pendant With Fork Tines

This is a Silverplate vintage spoon with added fork tines, repurposed into a beautiful one of a kind pendant. It is adorned with the Christian fish symbol, made from fork tines. It has been textured and antiqued to give the pendant an antiqued rustic look. The chain is a boll chain, a look that can be worn for everyday. Vintage Silverplate Silverware Spoon rings are widely considered to have originated in the 17th Century England. Popular lore explains that at the time, servants to the wealthy couldn’t afford to buy proper engagement rings when they wanted to marry. Instead legend goes, they would steal a flatware piece from their master’s home, and shape it into a ring to give to their beloved for a marriage proposal. Thus, earliest spoon rings served as symbols of love and commitment, in defiance of strict social and economic barriers. Don’t hesitate to inquire with any questions you may have. If you have a keepsake piece that you’d like me to make a unique bracelet just for you, just let me know.
