Hand-bent from a WM. A. Rogers Oneida Ltd. silverplate spoon, this wrap ring carries the graceful floral pattern of mid-century American flatware — roses and small blossoms trailing along scrolled stems. Spoon rings emerged as a folk art form in the 1960s and 70s counterculture, repurposing heirloom-quality flatware into wearable objects with quiet domestic history. The bowl of the spoon forms the wide face of the ring, smooth and domed, while the handle wraps beneath with its embossed detail intact. A piece that sits at the intersection of craft and found object.
