#3: Jessica Johnston
 |
Jessica
Johnston is a very talented local artisan with one of the
most interesting product lines at the show...
Originating
in the 17th century, Spoon rings were originally intended for
wedding rings.
Servants
who couldn't afford to buy their beloved a ring would steal
the silverware from the Manor at which they worked and have
them turned into wedding rings.
It is said
that you could tell who each servant worked for by the crest
on their ring.
