    Hold onto the fork with your index finger and thumb somewhere near the center of the handle. Rest the fork on your middle finger while you eat.

    I suppose it could, but your would-be fiance might not appreciate that as much as a ring, and you definitely want them to be happy when you're proposing and not disappointed.

    It’s an easy metal to work with, not being too rigid. For those interested in metalwork, it’s a great starting point. As well, depending on the skill of the crafter, fork bracelets don’t look like forks at all, but rather cool works of art. It’s a unique way to up-cycle old silverware, an eco-friendly fashion.
