Silver plated rings made out of butter knifes. A series of 10 butter knifes rings that came out of the atelier this week. Not only butter knifes are used in the making of the cutlery rings. Up to today I used tea spoons , forks and butter knifes. Going around on flea market to find those cutlery you can get surprised. . . Mostly those cutlery are silver plated brass, but you can get alpaca, silver, stainless steel and other alloys ... So a wide range of materials that should be recognised at a glance. Not always easy, but by time you get used to it and generally you get right. I choose the silver plated brass and silver when I can offer it.
