About HIPPIE SPOON RINGS

Our rings are made from vintage flatware and are made of either Stainless Steel, Silver Plate or 925 Sterling Silver. Each 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. (on your grandmothers dining room table) HISTORY OF THE SPOON RING 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. Spoon rings were made popular again in the 1970's by the free-spirited Hippie Culture, hence our name HIPPIE SPOON RINGS. Enjoy your stay and take home a beautiful piece of wearable history.
