Silverware Creations started as a way to help pay for college costs for the Larimore girls and has been a family affair based in Elizabeth, Illinois.

The whole family has had some part in either the design, construction, or marketing of the items created and sold by Silverware Creations. All items are hand made in Elizabeth from flatware that has been purchased from flea markets, pattern matching services, or individuals, and is artistically recycled.

It starts as used flatware that needs a thorough cleaning by buffing and washing. The pattern and setting type (teaspoon vs. fork) determines what it can be made into.

Patterns used are dated from 1888 - 1975 with most coming from 1910 - 1949 time period. Most patterns are silver plated, with sterling available on a limited basis.
