One of my favorite pieces of jewelry is my spoon ring. Not because they're now trendy and popular -- I've had mine for over a year- but because each one is unique, with its own history from a different antique spoon. Mine even had a little "M" already imprinted on it!
Better than the fact that it's a one-of-a-kind, handmade piece, the story of acquiring the spoon is even funnier.
When I was living in Oklahoma, my mom came to visit, and on one of our nightly walks around the small town we stumbled across this guy in a beat-up van on a little back street. He was sitting outside his van on a little stool, piddling away over some little pieces of wood... and as it turns out, spoons. We stopped to talk to him for a little while, and found out that he's a teacher who makes and sells craft items on the weekends.
There are plenty of tutorials online about how to make your own spoon ring, which I may try someday (and share!) but for now, I'm happy to rock this stunner.
