Spoon rings are said to have originated in 17th century England. Legends state that servants who could not afford wedding rings would steal silverware from manor houses, and in turn, make the stolen silverware into wedding rings. Precious metal was out of reach for most servants during this time. Spoon rings are an old-time tradition whose popularity has varied over the past 35 years.
