JEWELLERY

DAISY LOUISE JEWELLERY-SPOON JEWELLERY

Victoria Bowater, trading as Daisy Louise Jewellery, loves designing and making unique pieces of jewellery from vintage cutlery and old coins.
She loves sourcing unloved items with a history and turning them into beautiful pieces of jewellery to be treasured.
Spoon rings were first made in the late 1600’s, by servants who could not afford the precious metal. Servants would steal silver spoons from their master’s home and turn them into a wedding band.
