Every Halo ring is order individually hand crafted.

The art of crafting spoon rings originated in England in the 1700's and were originally used as wedding rings. Servants could not afford to have wedding rings made of precious metals so they would steal the silverware from the manor houses and have them turned into wedding rings. For a time you could tell who the servants were working for by the crest that appeared on their rings.

No doubt convicts transported from England to Australia in the early 1800′s were convicted of such offences as ‘Stealing a Silver Spoon' or ‘Larceny by a servant'. A gesture of love, commitment or responsibility earned '7 years transportation beyond the seas'.
