Announcement
Beautiful vintage silverware made personal - with a little bit of prose and a little bit of polish.
Each piece created by Prose & Polish is true vintage silverplate - carefully curated through estate sales, antique shops, and auctions. They are not new pieces, but rather old ones -- exhibiting the beauty of a life well lived. Once home, they are carefully cleaned and polished by hand. The sentiment is hand stamped letter by letter into the silver with a hammer and anvil. Each piece is then polished again, tagged, ribboned, and repurposed for you.
Any piece in the shop can be customized. If there is something that you would like to change about a design in the shop - or if you have a design in mind that you would like to share with me, please feel free to send me a message. I would be very happy to work with you to create your own silver heirlooms.

5 out of 5 starsI am absolutely over the moon with the personalized baby spoons I ordered from Kimberly at Prose and Polish. We have four new babies in our neighborhood and I wanted to give them each a unique and memorable gift. Kimberly was ever so helpful and quick to respond. I placed the order one day and the next day I received an email they were shipped. She exceeded my expectations and the spoons are beautiful.

Weekends spend gathering, evenings polishing ... and all the pretty things collected.

Then hand stamping on the floor by the fireplace. Each letter, one by one, with the hammer.
Prose & Polish -- beautiful vintage silverware, hand stamped.
I was born old .. not in a Benjamin Button sort of a way, but in a hot tea, old house, wooly sweater sort of a way. I've always appreciated the craftsmanship and beauty in all things old and loved. The way old floors creak when you walk on them and old books smell when you open them.
Antique silver is of course a favorite. The thought that these pieces have been here since long before I have. I wonder at the hands that have held them and the celebrations they have been witness to. I spend weekends trolling estate sales and antique auctions -- not looking for perfect, just looking for beautiful. I love them even more when I can find them a bit neglected and take them home to polish them back to beautiful. It's almost like opening an incredible gift under a simple craft paper wrapping.
I have been stamping jewelry for years and only recently thought to stamp silverware. It is so much more personal and I love that my pieces become quirky valentines, sweet momentos of bigger moments, and family heirlooms.
It has truly brought my loves of antiquing and crafting to one very happy place for me.... thank you for letting me share it with you !

Additionally, I would very much like to hear your ideas and designs. If there is something specific that you would like stamped, I can create a custom listing for you. If you have family or heirloom silver that you would like stamped ( what could be sweeter than to have Grandmother's forks for your wedding cake or your little one's first birthday) I would absolutely love to create something meaningful for you.
