Spoon rings originated in 17th-century England. in those days, flatware was highly prized as it was made from solid silver & highly stylized & decorated in an heirloom manner. Popular lore explains that servants, unable to afford to buy 'proper' engagement rings would steal a flatware piece from their master's home. They would shape it into a ring & give it to their beloved for a marriage proposal. Thus, the earliest spoon rings served as symbols of love & commitment, in defiance of strict social & economic barriers.
