1 Measure the circumference of your finger. Wrap a length of paper or string around the digit on which you’ll wear the ring. Mark your desired length and then straighten the paper or string to use it as your length measurement. A spoon ring can either wrap up your finger (a wrapped ring) or wrap around until one end touches the other (a closed ring). If you want a closed ring, add ¼" to your paper or string length measurement. If you want a wrapped ring, the length needn’t be precise as long as it’s longer than your finger circumference.

2 Cut the spoon to length. Remove the “bowl” of the spoon, and as much of the top of the handle to make it fit as desired. A sterling silver spoon is easily cut with a hacksaw, but if you have an angle grinder, here’s an excuse to use it. Grinding metal is likely to create sparks, so first, be sure to protect both yourself and your work area. Wear long clothing, safety goggles, and insulating gloves, and remove flammable items from the space. Then, install a metal cutoff wheel on your angle grinder. Secure the spoon with either a bench vise or a clamp, exposing the line on the neck of the handle where you’ll make your cut. Start the angle grinder and drop it smoothly through the spoon, letting the weight of the grinder do the work.
