Bob the Spoon Bender

Bob and Barb Miller live on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Bob was a high school teacher for many years and Barb dabbles in many types of arts and crafts, her greatest passion is sculpture. Our range of jewelery made from vintage and antique cutlery is a true blend of both our talents.

Making rings from spoons is thought to date back to the 1600's in Europe. There was a revival again in the 1960's and 70's amoungst the alternative set. We source our cutlery from all over the world. Many hallmarks and patterns can assist us in confirming the date of manufacture, some are more obscure, however "styles"carried through eara's making it possible to identify the piece into it's specific decade. Most of our spoons date from the late 1800's through to the 1950's. Over that period several thousand different patterns were produced. This in it's self assures you of a fairly unique piece of jewelery, and a real conversation piece.
