Beautifully Detailed Antique Handmade Silver Spoon Ring RRP £25 grab yourself an auction bargain Spoon rings were first made in 17th century England as wedding rings 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 love. Servants who were caught were sentenced for "stealing a silver spoon". An expression of love would be punished with a sentence of 7 years imprisonment overseas. When they arrived some of the servants are recorded as having met skillful prisoners who could create these beautiful rings and they would take yet another spoon from an officer or their new master to present their love with a precious token. Ever since these times, spoon rings have been a timeless and unique gift of love, a wonderful piece of heritage not forgotten This lovely ring has been hand crafted from a beautifully detailed designed antique silver plated spoon, This ring is currently a size P (UK) and 7 3/4 (US) but can be adjusted slightly to suit your requirement so please let me know at checkout if you need a different size. It will come packaged with a hand made unbleached cotton bag featuring a hand painted little bird Thanks for looking I usually post items within 2 working days of receiving cleared payment read more
