A wide ring featuring an angel of Los Angeles at the top of the ring. Los Angeles, often symbolized by its name which means "The Angels" in Spanish, embodies a sense of aspiration, reinvention, and boundless possibility that draws people from all over the world. The city's association with angels adds a mystical quality to its cultural tapestry, reflecting an ethos of protection, guidance, and inspiration. Celebrated for its diverse and dynamic nature, Los Angeles serves as a beacon of creativity and ambition, much like the celestial beings it is named after, guiding dreamers toward their personal heavens. This piece was originally from a spoon pattern made in the early 1900s. This striking Art Nouveau piece is highly detailed and rare, perfect for the goddess in your life!

This ring is made from a vintage sterling silver spoon, 92.5, 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 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 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.
