Just got into spoon rings, girlfriend’s been raiding op shops and I finally pulled the trigger on a bending tool

Been chain making for a while but spoon rings kept catching my eye. Finally bolted a bending tool to the bench last week and my girlfriend has been doing the hard work; she’s been picking up beautiful old spoons on her op shop runs whenever she spots something with good detail.

This one has a really ornate floral pattern pressed into it, came up beautifully once I cleaned it up. Stoked on how it turned out for a first proper attempt.

Anyone else go down the spoon ring rabbit hole? Curious what spoons people are hunting for: hallmarked silver vs plated, pattern styles, all of it.

My roommate is a busking juggler and got this coin, thoughts?

Is it worth collecting? Or selling? Or should I just turn it into jewellery? Appreciate any help :))

Trying to identify this weave so I can recreate it in sterling — anyone recognise it?

My girlfriend picked this up and I want to make my own version in sterling silver and copper wire (there’s two coloured wires as you can see). The profile is tubular but I’m not 100% sure what it is. Any chainmaille folks recognise it?
