This gorgeous ring featuring a beautiful buttercup bloom bouquet at the top, was lovingly crafted from an 1899 Buttercup Pattern by Gorham sterling silver spoon. The yellow buttercup flowers are symbols of attraction, vigor, and joy. This ring would make a striking statement piece or a cherished gift for a loved one.


This ring is made from a vintage sterling silver spoon, 925, nickel-free. This ring will be adjusted to the size you request but it can easily be tightened or loosened at home should you want a different fit. As these are antique items, there may be minor wear and tear from its past life. Some rings may have engravings or markings. We do not offer any customization or marking removal 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 highly 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.
