Spoon Lore:
A sterling silver necklace made from the Miniature Art Era Plate set designed by The Franklin Mint Co. in 1981 - this plate depicts designs from the Art Deco period
The 1981 collection by Franklin Mint stands as a curated homage to the evolution of English silver design, with each of the 25 miniature plates capturing the spirit of a distinct artistic era, from the restrained symmetry of Georgian neoclassicism to the ornate flourishes of Victorian revival styles. Rather than mere decorative objects, these pieces were conceived as a timeline in metal, reflecting shifting tastes, cultural influences, and the hands of master silversmiths across centuries. Each plate becomes a quiet storyteller, preserving the language of its time, whether expressed through delicate engraving, repoussé ornament, or architectural form, offering a tangible connection to the artistry and refinement that defined English silver at its height.
Necklace finished with your choice of 16 or 18 inch Italian sterling silver chain.

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.
