1865 Bird Sterling Spoon Ring
Spoon Lore:
This sterling spoon ring was made from the Bird pattern designed by Bernard Biederhase for the John R. Wendt Co. Of New York in 1865
A multi-motif pattern, the entire set of silverware features a unique bird motif on each type of utensil.
This cheeky little Songbird is from the teaspoon - likely a wren who often is found nesting among grapevines.
I am so pleased to have this pattern for the first time. It made a gorgeous ring that is super smooth and beautifully designed. An original scrolling monogram on the inside of the spoon from 1880 - a little extra layer of story on this little piece of history
How it feels on your hand:
Made from a standard teaspoon, this pattern sits smooth and wide on the hand with a nice weight (narrower on the underside of the hand for comfortable movement). A fantastic statement piece!
Available in sizes 8 to 24. Fourth and half sizes available as well. This pattern was photographed in size 9.5
*Please let me know what size you would like in the order notes. The spoon rings are not adjustable by hand. I size each ring before I ship out.*
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.
