Franklin Mint Love Spoon Sterling Spoon Ring - size 12 only
Spoon Lore:
This sterling spoon ring was made from a pattern inspired by Welsh Love spoons designed by the Franklin Mint Co. in 1976
As early as the 17th century, examples of Welsh love spoons can be found. As the tradition goes, a young man would carve an ordinate designs into a spoon and present it to his love. These designs would involve hearts, rings, Celtic knots, and intricate patterns that expressed how he felt about the one they loved. If the lady excepted the spoon, it was a sign of her interest in him in return, and the relationship would begin. Thus the origin of the term “spooning”
How it feels on your hand:
Made from a full size teaspoon, this pattern sits wide and comfortable on the hand with a nice weight
Available in size 12 only .
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.
