Silver Napkin Rings – adding elegance to dinning

Napkin or serviette rings were originally used to categorize napkins between their weekly washes. Normal everyday use napkins rings were simple and made of skewers. In America, napkin rings generally had figures on them. These figural rings became a specialty of theirs. Napkin rings were invented by the middle class in Europe and they made their first appearance in the 1800s in France. The custom of using these rings soon spread to all the western countries. Most of the napkin rings that date back to the 19th century were either made from silver or were silver plated. However other materials like pearl embroidery, wood, bone, glass and porcelain were also used. The 20th century brought with it the use of newer materials like Bakelite. Today napkin rings have become collector items.
