Nova Spoon Ring – 1990s Oneida Capri

Stainless steel. Made from Oneida's Capri (Distinction line), first made in 1990.

The "youngest" spoon I work with, and it's still over thirty years old. Textured, with a black accent.

How it wears

Made from the handle of a real teaspoon. Most of my rings sit wider across the top of your hand, where the pattern shows, and slimmer underneath, so they sit flat and don't pinch. Each spoon shapes a little differently, and I bend every one to suit its pattern. Stainless steel, so it won't tarnish or turn your finger green.

Sizing

Pick your size above, 4 through 13, half sizes included. I size every ring by hand before it ships, so it shows up fitting. These aren't adjustable by hand, but if the size is off, I'll exchange it free. Always.

Every Ring Was Somebody's Spoon

I started making spoon rings in Augusta, Georgia, in 2021, and I still bend every one myself. I hunt down old silverware at estate sales, thrift stores and antique shops: the patterns that used to sit in kitchen drawers all over America and now mostly sit in boxes.

None of these are copies or casts. Each ring is the real spoon, cut, bent, shaped and polished by hand. Because they're real spoons, no two are quite the same. One might have a little more wear, a softer edge, a darker groove. That's the part I love most: somebody ate Sunday dinner with this spoon long before it was a ring.

People tell me all the time they found their mom's or grandma's pattern here. If you do, I hope it brings that table back. And if it's new to you, I hope it starts a story of its own.
