Welcome to Silver Hollow Jewellery, where we take pride in our unique collection of spoon rings and cutlery jewellery. In this post, we'll dive into the world of spoon rings, exploring how they are made, why they are a great choice, how to identify genuine silver, and tips on styling these timeless accessories. Let's find out more about the craftsmanship, sustainability, and allure of spoon rings.
How Are Spoon Rings Made?
Spoon rings are born from a creative upcycling process, where vintage or antique spoons are transformed into elegant rings. At Silver Hollow we carefully shape and resize the spoons to fit comfortably on your finger. This is done through either using the decorative handle of the cutlery piece, or the full spoon. The end result is a piece of jewellery that seamlessly blends history with contemporary style. Each spoon ring carries its unique story, making it a truly special accessory to cherish.
Why Choose a Spoon Ring?
Spoon rings offer a delightful mix of history, craftsmanship, and unique flair. By wearing one, you carry a piece of the past with you while adding a bespoke accessory to your look. Moreover, spoon rings are conversation starters, allowing you to share the fascinating backstory behind what you're wearing.
At Silver Hollow Jewellery, we are passionate about sustainability. By upcycling vintage cutlery, we play a role in reducing waste and conserving resources. Each spoon ring is made from recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly choice for conscious consumers. By choosing a spoon ring, you not only embrace its beauty but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.
Knowing If Your Spoon Ring Is Silver
Although there is absolutely nothing wrong with silver plated spoon rings (which happen to be a best seller at our high street markets), sterling silver spoon rings are often sought after. Authenticity is crucial when it comes to silver jewellery. To identify genuine silver in your spoon ring, look for hallmark stamps. British spoons often carry hallmarks, which indicate the purity of the silver. The most common hallmarks include the lion symbol (denoting sterling silver), the city mark, and the date letter. Keep an eye out for these marks to ensure your spoon ring is genuinely crafted from quality silver. Find out more about UK hallmarks here.
Silver spoons from other locations may not have these hallmarks or a stamped alternative like a simple .925. If you're unsure about the silver content of your spoon or jewellery piece, feel free to contact us.
Styling a Spoon Ring
The versatility of spoon rings makes them a perfect accessory for various occasions. Don't be afraid to stack multiple rings for a statement look or wear a single spoon ring for an understated charm. Many people like to wear a 'full' spoon ring, where the whole spoon has been used resulting in a wider band. This is often great to wear as a thumb ring, complimenting the shape of the hand when worn. The options are endless, allowing you to express your unique style effortlessly.
Spoon rings are an extraordinary fusion of history, sustainability, and style. As you explore the craftsmanship that goes into each piece, appreciate the eco-conscious choice you make by choosing recycled materials. Whether it's a conversation starter, a symbol of elegance, or a testament to your commitment to sustainability, a spoon ring from Silver Hollow Jewellery is a timeless addition to any jewellery collection.
