Sterling Silver Plated Brass Coil Fork Ring Alberto Juan

From
the earliest of times people have worn their wealth.
It wasn't until after
World War 2 that the use of sterling silverware declined, mainly because so
many Europeans lost their wealth and sterling silverware was primarily used
by the nobility.
From that point onward, many American manufacturers began to
produce steel silverware, which was more affordable.
With this over production of silver plated and steel/nickel silverware many
artists of the 1960's up to today have used these utensils as the basis for
their work.
From this primordial state, I've incorporated our Bedouin nature with our
mid-20th century production of silverware to bring you my 10th collection of
silverware inspired jewelry.
This is the ninth piece of my 9th collection of silverware inspired
jewelry.
An old silver plated fork  was cut
down and bent  over in a coil, then
molded and re-cast in brass and finally layered with sterling
silver.
The fork ring  measures 1" long
and could be worn several ways.
