As these are antique items, there may be minor wear and tear from its past life. Some rings may have engravings or marking. We do not offer any customization of spoon rings at this time.

Spoon rings originated in 17th century England. In those days, flatware was highly prized as it was made from solid silver and high stylized and decorated in an heirloom manner. Popular lore explains that servants, unable to afford to buy 'proper' engagement rings would steal a flatware piece from their master's home. They would shape it into a ring and give it to their beloved for a marriage proposal. Thus, the earliest spoon rings served as symbols of love and commitment, in defiance of strict social and economic barriers.

This is a sturdy spoon ring and looks like the image in the item description for the most part. I had hoped more of the original patina would be left after the hand finishing to provide more depth and character. But it is pretty much just silver with no oxidation. Other than that, I am pleased with this purchase.
