Spoon Lore:
These elegant mother-of-pearl handled sterling forks were crafted during the late Victorian to early Edwardian era, a time when fine dining was considered an art. Produced by Landers Frary & Clark Co of Connecticut, a respected American silversmith known for refined craftsmanship, these pieces balance luxury with restraint.
The luminous mother-of-pearl handles glow with soft, natural iridescence, while the sterling silver ferrules feature gentle scrolling floral details influenced by Rococo Revival and early Art Nouveau design. Often used for desserts, fruit, or oyster service, forks like these were made for intimate gatherings and beautifully set tables.
Graceful, timeless, and richly tactile, these forks embody a moment in history when even the smallest tableware was made to be treasured.
This glorious statement necklace was made from Mother of Pearl & Sterling pattern designed by the Landers Frary & Clark Co between 1890-1920. Finished with a 24 inch Italian sterling chain
30 inch chain upgrade available here.
Metal: Sterling silver
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.
