Vintage Bon Bon Spoon Conversion Necklace - Chippendale
Vintage Bon Bon Spoon Conversion Necklace - Chippendale
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 Lunt and the pattern is 'Chippendale'.
The bowl of this piece is a classic art nouveau style and was hand pierced (sawed) to achieve this look. For the amount of silver, this spoon is so dainty in appearance, and light in weight,
I drilled a hole, added a jump ring and hung it on an 18" sterling silver textured curb chain.
There's also a matching ring in a separate listing crafted from the handle, please see the pics!
