1880s Brightcut Smaller Monogram G Necklace
Spoon Lore:
This necklace is made from the hand-engraved Brightcut pattern designed in the 1880s. With original monogram G, finished with a 24 or 30 inch silver chain, your choice!
Brightcut refers to a technique of embellishing sterling silver flatware with grooves and facets that catch the light.
This bespoke design technique was popular from 1865 to 1895 with a surge of popularity in the 1880s.
Each of these designs are engraved by hand, and often feature asymmetric floral designs. Many of the brightcut designs are one of a kind; that set of silverware being designed specifically for one client and engraved with a monogram, like this gorgeous pattern from the 1880s.
Some brightcut patterns are marked with the company name, but often bright cut patterns are simply marked Sterling, with the name of the artist who created the design being lost to time.
Metal: Sterling Silver
Oh, If Spoons Could Talk
I love spoon jewelry. And I love hunting for the most beautiful spoons to make it! Spoon jewelry is a little wearable piece of history allowing the story and beauty of the pattern to be displayed and treasured, rather than being forgotten in a drawer or melted down as many of these antique beauties are.
All the pieces I make are from the original antique spoons - none are copies or casts - and I make each by hand, giving care and though to how each pattern is best shaped and displayed.
Using the original sterling silverware means each piece is not only beautiful in design, but full of indications that it has lived life. Maybe a faded monogram or little wear spots - I enjoy thinking about the places they have been and who might have held them 100 years ago. Each piece is, therefore, truly unique. I have discovered more than one of some of these spoon patterns, so each piece will come with its own character and story, varying slightly on little wear spots and marks - There will not be two that are exactly the same!
I hope the piece you choose resonates with your own story and will be a piece you treasure for generations.
