Antique Sterling Silver California Souvenir Spoon Ring – Australian Size Z+
This exquisite ring captures the charm and history of California, handcrafted from a vintage sterling silver souvenir spoon created by the esteemed Baker-Manchester Manufacturing Company between 1914 and 1927. The ornate band, adorned with intricate clusters of grapes and twisting vines, embodies the rich winemaking heritage of the Golden State, making it a stunning piece of wearable art.
The design features the Great Seal of the State of California, a symbol of prosperity and promise, along with a detailed depiction of a building perched on a cliff, likely the iconic Hearst Castle. These artistic elements make this ring more than jewelry—it’s a tangible connection to California’s storied past and culture.
Originally, the spoon measured 5 inches in length and boasted a gold-washed bowl, hand-engraved with "Los Angeles," celebrating the vibrant city at the heart of California’s legacy. As a ring, this piece transforms those historic details into a bold, meaningful accessory in Australian size Z+, perfect for those who appreciate unique craftsmanship and larger statement jewelry.
