i have to admit, every time i saw spoon and fork jewellery anywhere i felt very meh about it, because they still screamed "spoon!!!" when you looked at them. but yours look so cool and unique, that i'm now tempted to experiment with spoons as well, which i didn't think would happen in a million years bahaha :D i love the pelican spoon, an element like this could also look so cool as a signet ring. the fact that soldering or even annealing those is potentially risky, can definitely be used as a way to make you think outside the box and try and get the result you want using other methods than the ones you'd normally use :D
same with me! Although I liked some of them, as the resembled a shield, so I liked those. But other than that, not a big fan. Until I realised that I could try these unusual ones! I rembered seeing them at antique fairs and decided to go look for them in antique shops. And I like what you said, these materials that are other than silver can help us think outside of the box and get creative! :))
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing you’ve clearly come across way more creative examples then 😄 also, the spoons you picked are super original and that makes a world of a difference. It would be really cool to treat the spoons’ elements as stones 😍
yay!! Thank you so much! I'm super happy you like them 😍 I've had so much fun making them, so I might go for another hunt and try to find more cool spoons and items :))
oh my gosh, thank you! I appreciate it a lot, you're very sweet :)) This little tool is extremely useful and helps you bend whatever you need to bend, spoons, tubes or ring bands, whatever you need
Annealing is done by heating up and letting the piece cool slowly, dunking it in water is tempering and it makes it brittle. Also beaning a piece over and over can case harden it, making it brittle, heat it up again let it cool slowly and it will be even easier to bend.
Hey I came across some of your videos and really enjoyed them and all I have to say is thank you from the bottom of my heart because I’ve always been afraid of starting to work on my ambition of becoming a jeweler and you gave me this strong motivation that I needed I really appreciate and hopefully I’ll you an update later😉
You should totally do it! I'm sure you'lll have a lot of fun with it 😍 Antique shops have lots of cool items that I'm now tempted to try and turn into more jewelry pieces :) Thank you for watching lovely, have a great weekend!
Fun video Basia! 👍 Even if these are made from a type of metal you can’t wear, keep them (if you ever try lost wax, these can be fun to play around with and add an "antique" looking texture 😉)
So true! I'll definitely keep them and I think they'd be so cool to use in a lost wax technique. Thank you so much for watching sweetheart, I'm very happy you enjoyed it! ❤️
Hiya Lady Stardust, I'm sitting here listening to the sleet hit the window courtesy of the latest storm to hit the UK. What a great way to lift my spirits, watch Basia transform teaspoons! I've seen coins being made into rings, the first time for spoons though, trust Basia to come up with something new. Those spires looked a bit lethal at first, a quick file and bending in later and perfect. What a clever tool. Thank you for a wonderful video, perfectly shot and edited, again. I did like the medallion one. Great use of what you had. Stay safe, Steve...
Ahh, thank you so much, Steve! I'm very happy that you enjoyed this video and the whole project idea 😀 I must admit, the idea isn't mine, I've seen many people make spoon rings, it's actually quite popular! 😀 But I wanted to add my own twist to it and create something using an original item from an antique shop. Something, that I haven't seen being turned into jewellery before. Like these decorative spoons! Hahaha, lethal indeed! 😂 I was worried if these sharp edges wouldn't be too dangerous, but luckily buffing them helped a lot. As for the storm, you won't believe me, but I do miss these English storms! We also have some stronger winds here now, but it's not the same. I know they are dangerous and could cause damage, but I've gotten used to their sounds so much and miss them here 🥰 Stay safe xx
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithingthe wind has dropped now, at last, no fun walking to the shop in the wind, but I was out of coffee, horror" Okay now, just enjoying a rest watching YT. Stay safe, Steve xx...
Have you seen Karolien's latest video? I finally caught up on her videos from France couple of days ago. They did an amazing job renovation the barn and turning it into studio and office space
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithingisn't it wonderful, I'm so jealous, but I would want it somewhere that is always hot. Arthritis does not do cold and wet well, and an English winter is cold and wet! I walked back from breakfast this morning through falling snow! Is Ukraine between you and Rusia? Watch where you go for walks!!! In fact, stay safe you two please, Steve...
The ones with buildings are certainly silver (although the man at the antique shop told me they were plated, so I think he might not be sure or maybe he mixed them up with other spoons?), the one with flower is definitely not entirely silver. I think it used to be enamelled, but there was hardly anything left on it and it was alright to anneal it. I'm going to examine the spoons some more to see if I can determine what they are for sure
Dear Basia, I certainly wouldn't argue with the salesman in this case. Although the patina on these Dutch spoons is distinctive for silver, the silver itself may indeed be merely a coating on neusilber. It may just be a light effect, but it seems to me that in the final shot at 9:18 the Waterpoort Sneek ring is little bit more yellowish than the Munsterkerk Roermond and the Dom Utrecht rings. If so, it's cos you've scraped the coating off it. Although neusilber is very close in colour to silver, cutlery made of it should be coated by silver because this alloy itself has a zinc taste. You can check it just by licking the Waterpoort Sneek ring:)
Hi. I truly like your way of explaining & constructing new articles. Just wanna ask something about a common problem with artificial jewellery. Hope you will address it. How to repolish an article if its colour is faded ? Also if you can explain as why colour faints in first place ? I have watched your tutorials but unable to find the exact answer If you had already covered this topic in the past , can you please share the link ? Would appreciate. Thanks
I'm not sure, but it seems to me that the top three spoons at 1:30 are made of melchior. If so, the rings you made from these spoons could cause an allergy to nickel for the people who will be wearing it. I advise you to check the metal with silver nitrate.
I think that's very likely! They're definitely not just silver (if they even have any silver at all that is ;P). Wasn't going to offer them for sale anyway, but it's a good thing to keep in mind for future, so thanks for pointing that out
I remembered one very simple way to identify melchior: depending on nickel content in the alloy, it is either impossible or very difficult to melt it with a butane torch. You can also try this.
One of the spoons, the one with the flower, wasn't silver and I don't think it was even plated. I would say it depends on what you want to use them for. Any spoon can be turned into a cool ring! The only limit is your own imagination. However, you might need to choose only the silver ones if you want to sell spoon rings that are silver
Which ones are you interested in? The one I used for bending spoons is called a ring bending tool, by Pepetools. There's also a bench peg, a jeweler's saw frame etc :)

Beautiful spoons turned into cool rings :D so nice :D
Thank you so much 😊I was very excited to try this project :))
These are probably the most gorgeous spoon rings I’ve seen. I need to get that spoon making tool , I’ve been wanting it.
oh my gosh, thank you! I appreciate it a lot, you're very sweet :)) This little tool is extremely useful and helps you bend whatever you need to bend, spoons, tubes or ring bands, whatever you need
I would have never chosen those but of course you made them beautiful.
thank you! I appreciate it ❤️
Amazing and beautiful!
Thank you so much! 😍 I'm addicted now, I need to go find some more spoon and make more rings 😁
woo! so many dutch spoons you found! :)
I know!! They are the best! 😀I have to go back to that antique shop and buy more :)
Thank you for these valuable videos🌻
You're very welcome! 💕
Annealing is done by heating up and letting the piece cool slowly, dunking it in water is tempering and it makes it brittle. Also beaning a piece over and over can case harden it, making it brittle, heat it up again let it cool slowly and it will be even easier to bend.
This is amazing Iv made them for 1 year now and have grown a following on tiktok
That's wonderful to hear! And I'm happy you enjoyed my video too, thank you for watching ❤️

Thank you!👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘

Beautiful work! I'm interested in starting this hobby. Can you list all the tools and supplies I will need?
Wow, nice! Funny to see those are dutch spoons and im reading Utrecht on one of them and i live in Utrecht.
oh wow, that's so cool! Thank you so much for watching :)) I'm very happy you liked the video and this project
Hi Basia! ❤️
Hi lovely! :)) ❤️
Even I have spoons with various designs i never thought of that idea i'll definitely try them .Thank you so much 💖
You should totally go for it! The ones that you don't necessarily want to keep as spoons would be a great fun to experiment with :)) Good luck! ❤️
Ya! Thank you ❤️
YOU are GENIUS!!! :)

Oh my, hahaha, thank you!! 😍😁
Cool.
Great project! What is the metal? I can imagine you definitely wouldn't want to anneal anything plated. Those look like silver, hallmarked..

you can use the spoon bowl part for earrings
Oh, totally! If the spoon is nice, just drill a little hole at the top and you have really cool pair of earrings! :))
Very cool idea!!! Enjoyed it a lot!! Were those all silverspoons?

Halo.morning Brasia😉😜
Morning lovely! Happy weekend ❤️❤️❤️
Stunning rings , are they silver spoons ?
Thank you so much! Yes, most seemed to have been silver
Ive heard only to use silver or silver plated spoons, but can I use stainless steel or other metals too?
One of the spoons, the one with the flower, wasn't silver and I don't think it was even plated. I would say it depends on what you want to use them for. Any spoon can be turned into a cool ring!

May I know what is name of th tools that u use ???
Which ones are you interested in? The one I used for bending spoons is called a ring bending tool, by Pepetools. There's also a bench peg, a jeweler's saw frame etc :)
Ok silly me but please share your yellow bench pin holder and bench pin
هل يمكن أن أسائل عن أسم ألات الثني هذه
What word are you using to heat it up? Sorry! I don’t hear well. ❤️
Wow! Those rings really do look unique and beautiful.
