An antique fork turned into two rings

As I've been mentioning quite a few times now, I am taking a jewellery making course at Leeds College of art. No putting beads on threads here, but proper metal work! What I am most proud so far is my project of turning an old antique silver fork into two rings - one out of the handle and one out of the head. The fork is only a tiny dessert fork, and it was just about enough for two rings.

I really like this ring below made out of the pointy bit of the fork. The swirls really disguise that it's actually a fork, don't they?


The handle on the fork had a really swirly pattern, which is one of the reasons why I chose to work with an antique fork. Modern cutlery just don't have that little extra, but they're all very plain. So even though this is a very simple ring it looks extraordinary cause of the pattern.

  1. They're both amazing ! I like the first one for the swirlyness and the second one because it looks very classy and elegant with the pattern on it ! very good job =)

As an artist I love hearing people's opinions about my work, so I would be extremely happy if you left a little comment.
