As early as the 1600s in Wales, a young man would carve a spoon from a single block of wood and present it to the person he hoped to marry. Usually carved with ordinate designs, the gesture was proof of patience, devotion, and skill, and the resulting spoon was a simple of his commitment and affection towards his love.
And the Franklin mint company created their own version in Sterling silver, eight spoons and eight symbolic designs.
Intertwined rings for commitment and devotion
A dove for companionship
A wheel to symbolize strong, work ethic and a desire to provide
A keyhole for trust to the one that holds their heart
A heart for love freely given
An opening flower for love that grow deeper
A Celtic knot for a love into eternity
And intertwined flames for unity - two souls weaving into one
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.
