I could write a book about my love for sterling flatware. How many 10
year olds have a spoon rack in their bedrooms and polish their sterling
spoon collection every Saturday? Spoon rings have come and gone out of
vogue since the 60's I think. When I make a spoon ring I choose a spoon
with personality and great workmanship. Most of the time I solder the
band so that the ring is closed. I try to make sure I keep the inside
decoration intact. I smooth the inside with steel wool so that it has a
nice satin texture and doesn't eat up your knuckles when you take it
off. I love to set cabs on the part of the spoon that usually has a
monogram. As far as pendants go, I use the same techniques. I can make
two pendants out of one spoon. The handle is the most obvious pendant,
but the bowl makes a great base plate. I do make a few spoon bracelets
that use two matching spoons. There was a huge learning curve in
working with spoons and I did melt quite a few in the learning process.
I have learned how to keep every portion of the original spoon pattern
visible. If you are a lover of antiques and an appreciator of high
quality workmanship, consider the purchase of one of these pieces. You
will be amazed at the weight of each piece. The feel of the back of the
pendants is so smooth you will find yourself rubbing it often.
(Maybe it's a worry or wishing piece!)
I could continue as I said at first and write a book, but I better not.
