“Cutlery is something we touch every day, but it also has to be something we enjoy, something that feels luxurious,” adds Danish jeweler Orit Elhanati. As part of an ongoing collaboration with Argentinian artist Conie Vallese called Jardim, she recently debuted a collection of gold-plated sterling silver forks, spoons and knives decorated with black diamonds and black spinels at Salone del Mobile 2024, as part of Alcova’s Villa Borsani exhibition. “I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of turning ordinary things into something magical. We wanted to create pieces that make you stop, that make even an ordinary meal an event,” says Elhanati. The rough yet refined pieces combine functionality with Elhanati's fascination with the Victorian Gothic era: “We imagine these pieces as a link between past and present, like artifacts discovered from another era.”

Other jewelers have approached cutlery as “a celebration of finding beauty in everyday rituals,” as Rosh Mahtani puts it. By adding a homeware range, Alighieri Casa, to her 10-year-old jewelry brand, Alighieri, Mahtani is inviting us to slow down. “Our lives have become so digital and frenetic; I want Alighieri Casa to be a return to spirituality and strategy,” she says. “It’s an invitation to take a few minutes out of your day for yourself, when you set the table.” The cutlery in the Casa line is cast in brass and hammered in stainless steel, inspired by tribal stone blocks and hunting tools. “I wanted these pieces to feel tactile and solid, as if they had been there for centuries,” Mahtani says.
More recently, a new generation of jewellers have breathed new life and art into these everyday objects. For London-born, French-raised Gala Colivet Dennison, who originally trained as a sculptor before moving on to abstract sculptural rings and necklaces, experimenting with these functional objects was a challenging but ultimately liberating experience. “I didn’t have to deal with the constraints that jewellery has in terms of scale and weight,” she explains. After experimenting with candlesticks and pillboxes, Dennison was recently commissioned by interior designer and design agency Jermaine Gallacher to create a set of sterling silver spoons for his magazine Ton, currently on sale at Dover Street Market. The resulting spoons have a pleasingly impractical look, with their short, wide handles and long bowls. “The base of the large spoon was originally a pillbox, and the head of the small spoon was originally an earring,” says Dennison. "I love taking things apart and rebuilding them, finding the perfect balance, no matter the size."
