Vintage Bon Bon Spoon Conversion Necklace - Poppy
Vintage Bon Bon Spoon Conversion Necklace - Poppy
Of all the flatware that has been made, I find the most intriguing piece is the bon bon spoon (or nut spoon). These gorgeous, intricate utensils were literally made to hold a single bon bon for dessert. They tend to be the fanciest of the entire set of silverware.
Because I can't resist something this beautiful, I had to make it into something wearable. This particular spoon is sterling silver and was made by Payne and Baker and the pattern is 'Poppy'.
A giant poppy flower was the bowl of the spoon and is now the pendant centerpiece. It has been crafted in repousse-which is where the pattern you see is created by hammering or pressing from the reverse side of the piece.
