Old silver has even more personality and attention to detail. For me, there's just no comparison between a plastic spoon and a spoon that some human being took a hammer and pounded out by hand a hundred and fifty years ago. I love thinking about who made it. And how the world was then. And how many people have used even simple, everyday items over many generations.
Silver has history.
And beauty to boot. And all of its history is right there for all to see. I also love silver for its integrity. It's the same through and through. And it's well documented.
