Oneida Silverplate Queen Bess II Pattern Creations

Queen Bess II Silverware Pattern (1946) — Oneida Vintage Silverplate Jewelry

Introduced in 1946, the Queen Bess II silverware pattern by Oneida (Community Plate) became one of the most beloved and widely distributed designs of the post-war era. Its graceful scrollwork, refined floral border, and soft mid-century curves made it a favorite for wedding gifts, holiday tables, and everyday elegance throughout the 1950s and 60s. Today, Queen Bess II remains one of the most recognizable and collectible vintage silverplate patterns — period.

At Laughing Frog Studio, we transform authentic Oneida Queen Bess II silverplate into handcrafted jewelry and accessories — spoon rings, pendants, bracelets, hair pieces, and one-of-a-kind keepsakes. Each piece highlights the pattern’s romantic floral detailing and sculptural charm, giving it a new life as upcycled wearable art.

Because we work exclusively with found and reclaimed vintage silverware, availability shifts with every treasure we rescue — ensuring no two Queen Bess II pieces are ever exactly alike.
