Description
Once beloved, this antique is yearning for a new life. At your wish, it shall be transformed into a ring, to be loved once more.
Important: To keep the full text on the spoon, this ring should be a minimal size 60.
The story of the Narcissus comes from Greek mythology. There a boy names Narcissus lived who was so beautiful that everyone fell in love with him. But that one-sided love didn't come without the necessary pain. So after he rejected a woman and broke her heart, a Goddess casted down a curse upon him: he would know what it felt like to love someone who he could never have. And thus the young Narcissus came upon a lake and casted his gaze down at the water's reflection, and instantly fell in love. The rest of his days were spent next to that lake, pining away at the person he could never have. And on the spot where his body disappeared, a flower sprung from the earth, that like Narcissus forever looked down at its own reflection.
Each spoon has had a life of its own and may therefore differ slightly from the photo.
Providing ringsize
Each ring is custom made, so please include your size in the 'special instructions' of your order.
Beware that some EU countries use different measurements for their rings, we work with the EU recognized ring chart based on circumference.
If you order multiple rings, please write it down as follows: *Item Name - Size* and so on.
Don't know your size? There are two easy ways to find out:
1. Measure the circumference of your finger with a tape measure or a piece of string. Keep track of where the string crosses over itself and place it against a ruler. Then find the measurement in millimeters and choose the appropriate ring size from the size chart.
2. Do you have a ring that already fits your finger? Then use a ruler to measure the inside diameter of the ring (or the inner circle). This will give you the diameter of the ring. The number of millimeters corresponds to a EU ring size.
Material & Care
Each ring is made of silver-plated cutlery. Silver-plated spoons have an outer layer of silver and a core of another metal.
Over time, the surface will darken, a natural reaction between silver and the air. This creates character in the depths of the design, but the surface is most beautiful when polished.
To remove surface discoloration, you can use a polishing cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or coarse textures, as this will best preserve the silver.
