Product Description
Beautifully Detailed Antique Handmade Sterling Silver Spoon Ring
This stunning ring has been hand crafted from beautifully detailed solid sterling silver 925 spoon which unusually utilises the spoon bowl and wraps the handle as detail to the front. The simple handle has been stunningly crafted with high quality detail. The ring carries a full set of English Hallmarks including makers mark William Suckling, Lion Passant denoting the silver quality as 925, assayed in Birmingham in 1936. These are clearly displayed within the detail to the inside of the ring.
This ring is currently sized at a UK Q or 8 1/4 US but I will happily adjust slightly to suit your requirements so please do message me should you need a different size, It will come packaged with a handmade cotton gift pouch featuring a hand painted little bird.
Spoon rings were first made in 17th century England as wedding gifts by servants who could not afford expensive precious metals. Servants would steal a silver spoon from their master and have it turned into a wedding ring to be worn on the thumb of their true love. Servants who were caught were sentenced for "stealing a silver spoon" and this expression of love would be punished with a sentence of 7 years imprisonment overseas.
Ever since these times, spoon rings have been a timeless and unique gift of love, a wonderful piece of heritage not forgotten.
