Unexpected Elegance

A few of you had asked for a tutorial for the silverware pendants, so today I thought I would show you how I make them.  Now, by no means am I am a professional jewelry maker!  SO, if you have a better way of doing something PLEASE leave me a comment letting us know.

Here are two different silverware jewelry tutorials.

1. Quote Pendant

Supplies you will need:  stamping set, hammer, scrap of wood, drill w/metal bit, sharpie, steel wool, side-cutters, rubber mallet.

You can find the stamp set at most hardware stores.  I got mine at Harbor Freight for about $

And of course, you will also need a beautiful piece of antique silverware.

The piece I&#;m using is a serving spoon.  I love the detail on the scoop part!

First you need to set the &#;scoop&#; flat.  I start by using the rubber mallet and hammering the front.  Then I normally turn it over and use the hammer to finish flattening it.

Once you have it somewhat flat, use a sharpie to mark out where you want the letters.

Use the metal stamping set to add the letters.  My suggestion is to practice on a scrap piece of metal first.  You just hold the letter very sturdy (easiest to hold closer to the bottom) and whack it with a hammer.  The thicker the metal the harder this is. This piece was pretty malleable.

To get the sharpie off, use steel wool to buff it off.

If you want the lettering to stand out a little more, just fill in with the marker then buff again.

Use the metal drill bit and make a whole to hang it.  This is easiest on a scrap piece of wood.

Now is the somewhat difficult part&#;cutting the silverware!

The best solution I came up with is using side-cutters.  The thicker the metal the harder.  You just have to keep working it until you have it scored well.  Then hold the piece steady with the side-cutters on the finished area and use another pair of pliers to break it off.

Make sure the whole is fairly close to the top, so the &#;o&#; ring you hang it with will fit! 😉  I made this mistake TOO many times.

To smooth out the edge, I just scrape it on concrete.  It will work like a grinding stone.

You can use it as a necklace or key chain!

I added a little pearl for a little something extra.

2.  Pendant

Supplies needed:  drill w/metal bit, side-cutters, piece of silverware and a scrap of wood.

Start by making a whole where you want the top to be.

Just like the above tutorial, use the side-cutters to score and &#;break&#; the metal.

This type of pendant is fairly easy to make. I added a pearl drop on this one too!

Introduction: Flatware Jewelry

It's really simple to make some fairly nifty jewelry out of what you've already got sitting around. For this bracelet I chose a stainless fork with some long tines and a bit of character, and then gave it a bit more. I like stainless steel because it's durable and polishes well. You can make it a bit easier to manipulate by annealing it, but I decided not to since I don't have the setup to temper it back up again. You just need to be a bit more stubborn than your materials and a bit smarter than your tools, and it should work fine ;)

Tools:
  • hammer
  • vise
  • pliers
  • drill
  • Dremel tool with:
    • fine sanding disk
    • small dia high speed cutting bur
    • polishing wheel

Step 1: Get Amongst It

Begin by flattening out your chosen fork with a hammer. Next, pull the middle two tines up to make it easier to cross the outside tines behind them. Do one outside tine and then roll the tip around before crossing the other side over and rolling it. When finished they should form a heart shape, you can tweak them in the vise a little to bring them closer together. 

Next, we want to bend the inside tines outwards similarly to how we bent the outside ones inwards. Curve them around the outside of the first two, and then put a little outward scroll in the tip of each one for good measure. Now congratulate yourself, the worst is over!

Step 2: Finish It Up

I thought the junction between the tines and the handle of the fork was a little plain, and decided to put another heart there. Draw a horizontal line, centerpunch a couple spots and drill them out so that the holes just touch. Use the high speed bur in your Dremel to flush out the bottom of the heart. 

The last step in the formation is to shape it into a bracelet. I used a vaguely arm shaped branch from the firewood stack and bent the fork around it by hand, but a few of the thicker sections needed a good whack from the hammer.

And lastly: polish it up! I made up a couple sanding wheels for the Dremel out of different grades of wet/dry paper with duct tape on the back for support to take the tool nicks out of the tines, then it was on to the polishing wheel. 

Just to show you a different design, the last photo is a commission I did for a friend recently out of 2 forks

DIY Silverware Jewelry

I have always wondered how to make silverware jewelry. The first time I saw silverware jewelry was when I was a kid. My sister had a spoon ring. Now I see really creative silverware jewelry at local boutiques. (As great as it is to support local vendors, I really wanted to learn how to make silverware jewelry on my own.)

After doing some research about silverware jewelry, I learned where to get the right kind of silverware (it must be real silver plated flatware), and the right tools needed.

I must admit, most blogs will say something like &#;It is so easy!&#; but it was a pretty big challenge with a huge learning curve. Because I had not made silverware jewelry before, I had a lot to learn by trial and error.  I hope to share my mistakes with you so that you can do it right the first time;) unlike I did. (I bought a lot of silverware so I had plenty to practice on)

Tools used to make Silverware Jewelry

  • Pliers
  • Hammer
  • Electric Sander
  • Towel or thick fabric
  • Drill

What tools I wish that I had before I started and why:

(I made the ones shown without these tools but it would have been nice to have)

  • Mallet  &#; Hammers leave marks! Use a Nylon or rawhide mallet.
  • Anvil &#; For pounding on a really flat surface.
  • Vice  &#; because it is hard to bend the thick parts and it would be nice to have something to really hold it in place for more leverage
  • Rubber Coated Pliers or Rounded Jewelry Pliers because my pliers left marks on the soft surface of the silverware

Silverware Jewelry Tutorial

What I learned about making Silverware Jewelry as a Beginner

  1. Silver is softer than most of your tools, and the tools will leave marks scratches and dents if you don&#;t protect it with a thick towel (my little remedy) or buy the right kind of tool in the first place;)
  2. Silverware is easy to bend on the thin parts but very difficult in in the thick places. Use a vice as your best friend and remember to protect the soft silver.
  3. Use a solid flat surface for flattening the silverware.
  4. Use a metal specific drill bit when drilling holes, wood ones will do the job but will ruin your bit.
  5. Have patience. You are just learning!

Beginner Steps : How to Make Silverware Jewelry

  1. Select your piece of silverware and your project.
  2. Protect the Silverware with a towel and bed into desired curve. (I bend before cutting to have more leverage and more to hold onto.
  3. Measure the Silverware and cut off the excess.
  4. Drill holes if needed. Depending on where the hole needs to be, you may be able to do this first while the silverware is flat.
  5. Sand off rough edges
  6. Flatten if needed.
  7. Finish
