keep telling stories

one of my very favourite parts of my work is the highlighting of original value and history.
we all love a good story and the purpose of my upcycled jewelry is to keep telling this historic story and make it relevant to today.

here a circa 1927 sterling silver teaspoon tells it's story
circa 1927 gold and silver teaspoon ring
originating as a sterling souvenir teaspoon of the Royal Scottish Golf Club, i preserved the circa 1927, Birmingham English hallmark to tell of it's own historic value.  the golf club stem was kept and used as the shank of this lovely knuckle armor silver teaspoon ring.
a wonderful Victorian inspired crest was hand pierced from recycled silver and set with a block of 9ct gold.

86 years later this hallmark is still alive with value and stories to tell :)
