Fork and spoon jewelry might sound strange to some, but for the connoisseurs of beautiful jewelry, it is worth collecting. There is a wide array of designs that you can collect, both online as well as in jewelry stores all around the world. This kind of jewelry can be found in sterling silver, gold and in some rare cases, platinum too. The use of precious and semi precious stones, encrusting the forks and spoons, is a pattern prevailing since the ages of kings and kingdoms and they are great collectors’ items even now.A great example of fork and spoon jewelry is a spoon ring that is created from a spoon handle which is cut and shaped properly like a ring. This can be done through several techniques depending upon the preference of the artist. The rings can be customised and adjusted based on the size required. Spoon rings came into the scene almost half a century back and their popularity too has fluctuated as much as the hippie culture, that they are associated to.
Another fork and spoon jewelry commonly seen is the sterling silver fork bracelet that is made from a silver fork. Such a bracelet costing about $120 has intricate designs and looks highly ornate. The design has been extended too with gemstones set on the fork lines to add to the beauty. The bracelet dimensions would also depend on the width of the fork handle. The 2 gem silver fork bracelet is slightly cheaper, but more symmetrical and equally beautiful. One can go for intricate carving, detailing and even engravings on the space available on the handles.
One thing that has to be kept in mind at this juncture though is the fact that silver plated flatware is stronger than sterling flatware and this is where a lot of people are confused. So, beauty, affordability and longevity would all be factors worth considering when you are buying this unique kind of jewelry. This is because some types of jewelry would break in the process of making the rings and bracelets or would break within a few days of usage. Another factor to consider is the authenticity of the jewelry that you are buying. The question to ask would be whether the detailing and patterns you are seeing were available in silver plates. This will help avoid cheap cast spoon imitation jewelry. However, these are beautiful items worth possessing
