How To Make A Stainless Steel Fork Bracelet

noreply@blogger.com (CoCo the Blogging Dog) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 06:13:00 +0000

Here is how to make a stainless steel fork bracelet like the one pictured above. First, you will need a stainless steel fork, jewelers pliers, stone, and epoxy glue. Take the stainless steel fork and bend it so that it will wrap around your wrist. Then take the jewelers pliers and bend the fork prongs into a design. For this piece, I took the two middle fork prongs, and bent them down. Then, I took the outer prongs, and bent them up, using them to help hold the stone. When you have the fork prongs just about where you want them, take some epoxy glue to help hold the stone in place. Once the stone is set, you can make the final adjustment of the fork prongs.

Unusual Stainless Steel Fork Bracelets

These are two unusual stainless steel fork bracelets I made from vintage forks, purplish pink agate, and rainforest rhyolite stones...

I plan on listing these today on Craigs List, look out for the link in the upper right hand corner. These stainless steel fork bracelets have a very unusual design, and I am proud of them. I liked the design so much, I made one for myself, and am wearing it now. The stones have special meaning as well. The purplish pink agate stone will attract love and give you a sense of well being. Rainforest rhyolite stones are from Australia, and are supposed to help with concentration, creativity, and healing.

Here are two stainless steel pieces of jewelry I made today. The first one is a stainless steel fork arm band, the second one is a stainless steel fork bracelet. I used agate stones with both. Agate stones can be found in many different colors, but I think I like pink agate the best. They are supposed to draw in love and a sense of well being. If you check out right column at top, you can see someone is selling these pieces for me on Ebay.

Stainless Steel Fork Ring with Jasper Stone

This is an unusual ring I made with a 3-pronged stainless steel fork. I twisted the handle around to form the ring and used the fork prongs to accentuate a red jasper stone from South Africa. This ring was a lot of fun to make, although it could be dangerous to shake hands with! I left one of the sharp fork prongs sticking out, because it just seemed like the right thing to do. I like to add stones to my jewelry as I believe they each carry certain properties. With the strong, powerful, and sharp feel of the stainless steel, red jasper was a good choice. Red jasper is known for creating courage, survival, and protection. In the metaphysical world, it is also believed red jasper can heal disease. It is a powerful stone, for a powerful ring.

History of Spoon Rings

There are a few different ideas on how spoon rings came into existence, but most agree, it was around the 1950 to 1960's. The story that seems to have the most credibility, is that they were made popular by silverware manufacturers. Back in those days, many women would pick out the silverware pattern they wanted before they got married. The purchase of a nice set of silverware was an important event back then, to get ready for running a household. The woman would choose the silverware pattern ahead of time, and the store would provide them with a spoon ring that matched the desired pattern. That way, they would be wearing an every day reminder of the silverware pattern they had committed to purchase.

Simple Fork Bracelet

This is a simple bracelet I made from a stainless steel fork. To make this bracelet, I pressed the body of the fork handle against a small diameter pipe. I bent the fork gradually until it fit nicely around my wrist. At that point, I took some pliers and bent each of the fork prongs into a curly shape. Ta da!
