Crafted from a vintage New Zealand silver spoon, this bold wrap ring features a richly detailed face with a central starburst motif surrounded by flowing floral and vine scrollwork. Deep oxidisation in the recessed areas brings the intricate pattern into sharp relief, giving the piece a dark, dramatic quality with a distinctly gothic or folk-art edge.
The pointed lower tip of the face adds an angular, almost dagger-like form that contrasts beautifully with the organic detail of the engraving. The open-back band is similarly textured, carrying the decorative work all the way around the finger.
New Zealand silverware of this style was crafted to a high standard, and the quality of the detailing here reflects that tradition. Repurposed into jewellery, it becomes a wearable piece of local craft history.
