Spoon Lore:
This sterling spoon ring was made from the Troy pattern designed in Troy NY in the late 1800s
This is the Troy pattern. A regal ship journeying through a crescent moon, this incredibly hard to find souvenir spoon honors Troy, New York’s river heritage and the great age of Hudson River travel and discovery.
Near the bowl, a tiny storybook figure appears beneath the scrolling handle, holding an orb, an ornamental touch that deepens the spoon’s sense of travel, imagination, and the far-reaching river commerce that helped shape Troy, New York
Some spoons keep their secrets and leave us only small clues as to their history and significance.
The Troy pattern is one of those spoon. Marked only with the retailer that carried the spoon, JW Cusack, a jeweler and trader who sold his treasures on Broadway St in Troy NY in the 1870s. However, the company and artists who originally created this little piece of art remains a mystery.
This piece transformed beautifully into a ring that is wide, yet as smooth as butter on the hand.
How it feels on your hand:
Made from a teaspoon, this spoon ring sits smooth and comfortably on the hand. Wider on the top of the hand, and narrow on the underside for comfortable movement
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.
