Style Feature: Alligator Ring Jewelry by Spoonier

Vintage Alligator Souvenir Spoon Ring

  Over the past couple of years, one of our favorite patterns we have come across in vintage spoon patterns are the alligators! These reptilian spoon patterns are notable for their high level of detail both inside and outside of the rings, creating a really fun 3D effect. We love the animal spoon patterns in general because they are definitely some of the more unique jewelry items we have seen on the market. And so affordable considering what jewelry is going for these days. Check them out!   

  Recently we sent one of our gator rings over to our Etsy friend Bunny Meyer,( Grav3yardgirl) from Texas- check out her Vlogs (youtube channel) about everything cool in style from make up , clothes, to DIY crafts and of course- jewelry! She will be featuring a few of her favorite items from Spoonier in an upcoming "vidayo" of hers - so keep an eye on Grav3yardGirl's Vlogs and be entertained by the surely sassy satire about her Spoonier gifts! (She has an etsy shop too, click here to see! Follow her Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter here.)

   Here are a few examples of our Alligator spoon rings available in our Etsy Store:

(And of course, if you see one you like that is already sold, be sure to message us and we will put you on our wish list!)

As always, thank you for reading- and have a greeeeeeeaaat day!

New Features! More Options To Ensure a Very Happy Customer

What a difference!

     Hi all! Due to popular demand and many  questions on the matter, some of our options have expanded to deliver the highest quality spoon rings on the market. Here are some highlights of the new features in our store to ensure that your ring is just right for you or that special someone, including new Polished finish, leather cords, and FREE re-sizing for life!**











"Finish" Options!: Polished versus Brushed
     When purchasing your items, you can now choose to have your ring brought to a shiny, high luster polish, or go with the matte brushed finish that is seen in all of our photography. Both look really nice when worn on the finger, and let the antiqued black look in the details really pop for vintage character. Some customers have requested to have the high polish, so we thought we would make it available on all our products!

The same ring has a whole new life to it~ 

Which one do you like? Let us know on facebook! 

 Can't decide? We can also use a polishing cloth for an "in between" look, where the high points are polished and the ring remains brushed finish!

**Hint: Clients usually decide on which finish to get by what look they want- if they want a more antique
looking piece, brush finish will have an "old timey" quality. But if the rest of the jewelry
you wear is polished silver, often the choice is polished to match the rest of your jewelry collection.

Pendants: Brown or Black Leather cords~

      Most of our photos in our store feature the pendants on a stainless steel chain. We recently added many cords to our collection, and you can choose between your choice of black or brown leather cords. If you would like a leather cord, simply mention in the NOTES FROM BUYER section upon checkout.

FREE Re-size for the life of the ring!  

       If you were on the fence about a ring because you know that your ring sizes have changed over the years, now you can send it back to us anytime for an adjustment to make sure it's snug for everyday wear. We want to ensure that your ring is wearable for the lifetime of the product! (*Shipping---we will pay for shipping the item BACK to you, but at this time cannot pay for shipping to Spoonier for sizing. )

Spiffy Notes and FAQ:

-How do I know what my exact ring size is? 

We still recommend going to a local jewelry store or goldsmith to get an exact ring size, which most will gladly do for FREE! But there are many ways of obtaining your rings size, feel free to message us on our Etsy store if you have questions.

HINT: To ensure a good fit, make sure to measure your finger from knuckle to knuckle and compare it with the amount of mm indicated in the ---specs--- location of our listings.

 For just such an occasion, we have a Wish List: If the item you want is SOLD and you would like to be put on our contact list when we get another in stock, please message us on Etsy with the link to the item you want and we will contact you when another comes in.

 Wow, if you made it through all that, you really are a trooper. Perhaps you even love spoon rings as much as we do? If you have any questions, comments, or cool photos to share, be sure to check us out on facebook. Thanks for reading and have an Spoontastic day!

Style Feature: Growing Art Nouveau Collection in 2013

After a fantastic visit to the Tucson Gem show, we stumbled across some of the coolest vintage finds we have seen in a really long time, and I think they are pretty exciting. As Art Nouveau nerds, part of the reason we like to make spoon rings is that it is a way to celebrate the craftsmanship and mastery of silversmithing of old that one does not see much of in this day and age.

  Here are a few snapshots (and links) to some of the vintage, Art Nouveau jewelry finds that we are proud to offer in our expanding Vintage section. Please click on any of the links or photos to see more shots, as well as a description of each item in our store:

Art Nouveau Lovely Goddess Pendant, Sterling Silver Vintage Jewelry

Vintage Sterling Silver Butterfly Pin with Ruby and Marquisite, Art Nouveau Style 

Art Nouveau Style Cherub Necklace with Wings, made in Sterling Silver

Art Nouveau Cupid Pin, Sterling Silver Chasing and Repousse Vintage Technique

Art Nouveau Gazing Goddess Pin, in Sterling Silver

Vintage Lion Head, Art Nouveau Style. Doubles as a pin AND a pendant!

Vintage Engraved Locket, 1/20 Gold Filled with Monogram

  As we move into 2013, we are really excited about our growing vintage section. Items are going fast, so we will be sure to keep an eye out for the most eye catching, beautiful and classic examples that the Art Nouveau period has to offer.

 To all the fellow vintage fans out there: what are you most interested in? What would you like to see in stock at Spoonier? Leave us a comment or connect with us on Facebook!   

 Thanks for reading, have an awesome week!

Style Feature: Exclusive Victorian Dragon Pattern Now Available at Spoonier

Victorian Dragon Sterling Silver Spoon Ring, now available!

 Introducing a new blog series, "Style Feature!" Here at Spoonier, we are proud to stock some of the most unique and downright elegant patterns we have ever seen. We thought it was a good idea to start documenting some that we feel are more rare to come across.

New lot of Victorian Dragon pattern spoons, beautifully finished into rings exclusively at Spoonier.  This ring has lovely detailed depiction of a dragon amid deilicate florentine design. Click here to see our current stock, or visit our store any time! 

 Patented in 1875, Whiting ARABESQUE sterling silver demitasse spoon was made for George C. Shreve & Co., a large San Fransisco jeweler. A traditional rendition of the mythical beast that was originally from the middle ages, but revived during the Victorian period. Really catches your eye! 


This is not a reproduction but an original piece.

Incredible detail remains on these silver rings that is both unique and elegant. Excellent condition, makes a great gift.

NOTE: Message us on Etsy if we do not currently have any of this item in stock. We have a wish list and can order one for you! 

Incredible detail throughout the top of the ring, yet smooth for a comfortable wear on your finger. 

Made of the finest Sterling Silver, I put a brushed finish on these rings to even out the surface for a brilliant matte look! Simply stunning with the antique patina that naturally occurs in vintage spoons.

This particular Spoon Ring is monogrammed with "MGA"

*** Some of these Rings have various monogrammed initials from time to time, but can be removed upon request (though it does look kinda cool!)***

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed our new "Style Feature."
