Sterling Silver Spoon Ring

This item is a handcrafted spoon ring created from the handle of a vintage or antique sterling silver spoon. The ring features a wrap-around design where the wider portion of the handle forms the face of the ring, tapering down to the neck of the handle which curls around to form the band. The piece displays a classic floral or scrollwork relief pattern along the edges, characteristic of late 19th or early 20th-century silverware patterns. In terms of physical condition, the metal exhibits a soft, aged patina with visible surface scratches and minor scuffs consistent with regular wear and the item's previous life as a piece of flatware. There is darker oxidation nestled within the recessed areas of the ornate design, which provides a pleasing contrast and highlights the craftsmanship of the original silver pattern. While a specific maker's mark is not visible in this upward angle, the interior likely contains hallmarks such as 'Sterling' and a manufacturer's crest. The construction is solid, showing no signs of brittle cracking at the bend, indicating professional annealing during the resizing process. The overall aesthetic is representative of the 1960s-70s trend of repurposing heritage silver into wearable bohemian jewelry.
