A (silver) spoon on the finger

Jewelry made with vintage silverware: the idea came to Dan Kemp, an Iowa farmer seing a spoon in a vintage flea market: recycle an object made with such care and destine it to a new use . Since then the artist-farmer abandoned his old job and devoted himself to collecting spoons, forks and knives decorated with baroque motifs of late nineteenth century English silverware, or floral Deco style, or the Art Nuveau stripes, up to more modern designs of the fifties. He has shaped the handles or the whole laid up to make band and spiral rings, bracelets and pendants, there are also those with monograms, which he sells on Etsy and on his Dank Artistry Facebook page.
