Brass spoon, shell-shaped bowl, matte ebony black finish done by an artisan plater, professionally applied, rich and beautiful like the colors in old Victorian mourning jewelry. Nickel free, the spoon is actually made from a souvenir die, the same dies that made the collectable souvenir spoons. About five inches long, the bowl is 42x29mm and can be filled with little jewels, flowers (that's my fave) ceramic roses, resin with watch parts thrown down into it.....pearls...you name it, as you like it. See our videos on how to cut this spoon in half with our Best Metal shears and bend the handle to make TWO pendants. Sold by the piece. See the example below of one thing you could do with it.
