Spoon Rings – Custom Made
Custom Made Spoon Rings – Info
Spoon Rings are a fantastic way to share and enjoy the old family silverware.
Fact Did you know that spoon rings were originally made in 17th century England? Servants unable to afford a ring to wed their lovely, would often pilfer the silver from the manor houses in which they worked to make wedding rings with.
The process involves your cutlery being hammered, buffed and prepared with other interesting and savvy jeweller’s techniques. It is then formed into a spoon/fork ring with an interesting gadget I like to call the ‘Spoon Tuner’.
Sizing If by chance your ring isn’t the perfect fit – these fabulous designs can be resized (great to know when gift giving) it’s as simple as popping them in the post with a return envelope & details.
To avoid this we provide a pretty savvy ‘ring sizing chart’. It’s straight forward to use and generally provides a very close fit. Other options would be to visit your local jeweller and have the finger you would like the ring to fit sized up for a spot on fit.
We work with the European sizing system, where the ring size is depicted with a letter e.g. size Q – We are able to convert other international sizes, although we suggest you utilise our ring sizer chart to achieve a closer fit.
Orders email:spoonsavvy@hotmail.com
Spoon Savvy will email an online order form with all of the details you require. Then simply pop it in the post with your cutlery, in a registered or express post satchel. We’ll have your order delivered within approximately 10 days (if you require your order a.s.a.p. don’t hesitate to ask – anything is possible
Postage Spoon Savvy prefers to use registered or express post for safe postage & delivery of your precious things. It is marginally more expensive, but the benefits are – a tracking number is provided (easier), the items need to be signed for (safer), delivery is receipted, and ultimately no one is put out.
If you choose to post your items via standard post we don’t accept responsibility if the items are lost.
The fine print Thankyou for trusting Spoon Savvy with your treasured items. It is important for me to let you know that although I take great care with your cutlery when making spoon jewellery designs – there is a chance that things can go a little pear shaped e.g. a crack may present in the cutlery. This is a very rare occurrence, and would generally only happen when working with e.p.n.s (silver plated cutlery) If this were to happen – your cutlery would be posted back ‘as is’, and unfortunately we would not be able to complete the design. Can’t say that it’s happened yet – but there’s the fine print, quite boldly, out of the way.

Hi, I am intersted in having a ring made for my grandaughter from a sliver plate salad fork. Is this possible and can it be done in time for Christmas. I have others I would like to have made, but only one that would be needed for Christmas. If you would let me know right away I would appreciate it.

Can you give me an idea of cost in US funds. I have no idea of how long it will take to have something mailed to Austrailia, but I am going to give it a try after you let me know the cost making the rings and the payment method. Do you use PayPal?
Thanks so much.

Michelle,
A beautiful sentiment for the sharing of your grandfathers spoons
Forks and other cutlery handles can also be used to make the rings. Custom made ‘handle’ rings are priced at $40 per ring or 3 for $110. A custom made order form is available – email spoonsavvy@hotmail.com
Thankyou,

I suppose that the customer furnishes the spoon (which is what I would want). Can you have engraving done? What would be the normal turn-around time after you receive the order?
Thanks

James,
Indeed the customer ‘furnishes’ the spoon for custom made orders
Engraving could be arranged, but would take extra time as the service would be outsourced. The turnaround is usually 3 days after the item is received (for a standard ‘spoon handle’ ring) and all items are posted via express post. For a custom order form, please email spoonsavvy@hotmail.com
Best,
Angela
