Stunning selling Georgian Sterling Silver Spoon Ring Hallmarked London 1779 A Perfect Christmas Gift Idea with a 243 Years Old History!!

selling This is a stunning Georgian solid silver spoon ring. I have crafted this spoon ring from a 243 years old Georgian teaspoon hallmarked London 1779. It is the most eye catching ring, which with it's beautiful and highly polished finish, it is a very unique and very individual piece of jewellery, with a fascinating history, if only it could tell it's tale!!

The spoon ring does show some signs of it's great age, but I feel this only adds to it's story.

It comes with it's own Change of Use certificate as required by the British 1973 The Hallmarking Act

The ring is 19 mm at it's widest point and weighs 8 Grams

Every Halo ring is individually hand crafted.

The art of crafting spoon rings originated in England in the 1700's and were originally used as wedding rings. Servants could not afford to have wedding rings made of precious metals so they would steal the silverware from the manor houses and have them turned into wedding rings. For a time you could tell who the servants were working for by the crest that appeared on their rings.

No doubt convicts transported from England to Australia in the early 1800′s were convicted of such offences as ‘Stealing a Silver Spoon' or ‘Larceny by a servant'. A gesture of love, commitment or responsibility earned '7 years transportation beyond the seas'.
