Spoon Lore:
A sterling silver necklace made from the Culzean Castle pattern designed by Norman Cherry of Kelso Scotland in 1981
A miniature tour of Scotland’s storied past, this Edinburgh-crafted set gathers the nation’s character into silver, each slender spoon crowned with a different house or castle, from the merchant pride of Provost Ross’s House to the cliffside grandeur of Culzean Castle, the island stronghold of Brodick Castle, the ancestral seat of Brodie Castle, the artistic haven of Kellie Castle, and the fortified silhouette of Castle Fraser. Together they trace a quiet narrative of Scotland itself, clan and crown, trade and tradition, capturing in polished form the romance of stone walls, windswept coasts, and centuries of life held within them.
Necklace finished with your choice of 16 or 18 inch Italian sterling silver chain.

Oh, If Spoons Could Talk
I love spoon jewelry. And I love hunting for the most beautiful spoons to make it! Spoon jewelry is a little wearable piece of history allowing the story and beauty of the pattern to be displayed and treasured, rather than being forgotten in a drawer or melted down as many of these antique beauties are.
All the pieces I make are from the original antique spoons - none are copies or casts - and I make each by hand, giving care and though to how each pattern is best shaped and displayed.
Using the original sterling silverware means each piece is not only beautiful in design, but full of indications that it has lived life. Maybe a faded monogram or little wear spots - I enjoy thinking about the places they have been and who might have held them 100 years ago. Each piece is, therefore, truly unique. I have discovered more than one of some of these spoon patterns, so each piece will come with its own character and story, varying slightly on little wear spots and marks - There will not be two that are exactly the same!
I hope the piece you choose resonates with your own story and will be a piece you treasure for generations.
