Mardi Gras Jester Ring, New Orleans Sterling Spoon Ring, Vintage Louisiana Spoon Ring, Adjustable Spoon Ring, Sterling Spoon Ring, 2260
$75.00
Made from a Mardi Gras souvenir spoon, this New Orleans, Louisiana sterling souvenir spoon ring features the Mardi Gras Jester. The Mardi Gras Jester, a quintessential symbol of the New Orleans carnival, represents the spirit of fun, frivolity, and mischief that pervades the festivities. Adorned in vibrant colors and intricate costumes, jesters are emblematic of the freedom and excess that Mardi Gras celebrates, often leading parades and entertaining crowds with their antics. Historically, the jester's role during Mardi Gras draws from medieval court jesters, who had the unique liberty to mock authority and speak truths under the guise of comedy, a tradition that continues to infuse the carnival with its characteristic blend of satire and celebration. Perfect for the lover of the Mardi Gras festival in your life!
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.
