Brink House Baroque GLAM Utensil Set

Brink House brings us the Baroque GLAM Utensil Set which are pearlized vintage eating utensils. Pearlized, faux Mother of Pearl?

Mother of pearl, also known as nacre, is an iridescent substance that forms the inner layer of the shells of certain mollusks, such as oysters, abalone, and mussels. It is composed primarily of calcium carbonate and a protein called conchiolin, arranged in thin layers. The unique structure of mother of pearl reflects light in a way that produces a beautiful array of colors, ranging from shimmering blues and greens to pinks and purples. Mother of pearl has been prized for centuries for its lustrous beauty and is often used in jewelry, decorative items, and inlays for furniture and musical instruments.

Fake mother of pearl, also known as imitation or synthetic mother of pearl, is a man-made material designed to mimic the appearance of genuine mother of pearl. It is typically composed of plastic, resin, glass, or other materials that are coated or treated to replicate the iridescence of natural nacre. While fake mother of pearl may resemble the real thing at first glance, it lacks the depth, durability, and organic beauty of genuine mother of pearl. With advances in technology, some imitation mother of pearl can closely mimic the appearance of the natural material, but it is often distinguishable upon closer inspection by experts.

Well for this cutlery I’m guessing not real shells and that’s OK. These are indeed just the type of cutlery we found when looking in the street markets of Paris but now available back at home for a reasonable price.

The Brink House Baroque GLAM Utensil Set includes 4 forks, 4 knives, 4 tablespoons, and 4 teaspoons that are made of stainless steel. But because of those colorful handles they aren’t very dishwasher safe.

Spoon Theory & Fork Theory

Spoon Theory, a concept introduced by Christine Miserandino, has become a powerful metaphor for individuals living with chronic illnesses, including lupus. The theory serves as a tool to help explain the limited energy reserves that those with chronic conditions face on a daily basis. In the case of lupus, an autoimmune disease that can affect various organs and systems in the body, Spoon Theory is particularly apt. Each “spoon” represents a unit of energy, and individuals with lupus start their day with a finite number of spoons. Every activity, from getting dressed to working or socializing, requires the expenditure of spoons. Once the spoons are used up, a person with lupus may experience fatigue and increased symptoms, emphasizing the need for careful energy management and prioritization in their daily lives.

And there is a new theory from Jen Rosenburg: “Fork theory is that one has a Fork Limit, that is, you can probably cope OK with one fork stuck in you, maybe two or three, but at some point you will lose your shit if one more fork happens.”
