This ring has been legally approved and certified by the assay office in accordance with the 1973 Hallmarking Act, the unique 4 digit certification number is engraved on the inside

Jewellery made from any UK hallmarked piece of cutlery by law must be submitted to one of the UK assay offices for either a change of use certificate where original hallmarks are displayed or for new hallmarking where they are too worn or hidden. All our spoon rings, sugar tong and fork bangles are legally approved for sale by the assay office.

Spoon rings were first made in 17th century England as wedding gifts by servants who could not afford expensive precious metals. Servants would steal a silver spoon from their master and have it turned into a wedding ring to be worn on the thumb of their true love. Servants who were caught were sentenced for "stealing a silver spoon" and this expression of love would be punished with a sentence of 7 years imprisonment overseas. 

Ever since these times, spoon rings have been a timeless and unique gift of love, a wonderful piece of heritage not forgotten.
