Heavy weight solid silver ring, handmade using traditional techniques. This striking, statement ring features a decorative Baroque design spoon handle which wraps around the finger/thumb and is slightly adjustable to get the perfect fit. This design is also very strong with a flat profile and soft curves to avoid catching.
Ever heard the phrase "Born with a silver spoon in their mouth"? This is reference to the protective antibacterial properties of silver during the plague (circa 1665) when the children of people who could afford to use silver spoons were seen to be less likely to be seriously ill or die. This led to the tradition of giving a newborn child a silver gift for protection and health.
