A SPOONFUL
Eclectic OCC. / Spoon rings
Hiiii! My name is Ally! Since August of 2020 I have been turning old vintage antique silverware pieces into rings. I find spoon rings unique and a great way of turning old silverware into something beautifully handcrafted. This began as a personal hobby of mine, but thanks to the support of my friends and family I was able to begin a small business on Instagram where I began selling them. Something that super special and personal to me in this process is that my grandpa helps shine and polish the rings after i create them. I get to spend a lot of quality time with him and he is so special to me.
