Classic silverware with character
In European dining culture, the napkin ring originally served to mark the personal cloth napkin between meals. Today, it symbolizes refined hospitality and attention to detail.
Some pieces feature niello decoration : a dark silver-copper alloy incorporated into engraved ornaments, creating high-contrast patterns. Combined with partial gilding, this results in striking pieces that immediately catch the eye on a set table.
Care of your silver napkin rings
925 sterling silver is robust and suitable for regular use. This ensures your napkin rings will stay beautiful for years to come.
-
Cleaning: Wash by hand with warm water and mild dish soap. Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
-
Polishing: For light tarnishing, use a silver polishing cloth. Do not immerse niello-decorated rings in silver dips – the dark ornaments could be lightened.
-
Storage: Store in a soft cloth bag or cutlery tray. Closed storage significantly slows down tarnishing.
Important: Napkin rings with niello decoration or gilding should not be put in the dishwasher.

Frequently asked questions about 925 silver napkin rings
Can I have an engraving added?
Yes, many napkin rings are suitable for engraving—a name, initials, or a date. They make a particularly personal addition to gifts for baptisms or weddings.
Are the napkin rings also suitable for children?
Yes. Our range includes children's napkin rings that are smaller and ideal as a gift for a birth or christening.
What does the niello decoration mean?
Niello is a dark alloy of silver, copper, and lead that is melted into engraved ornaments. The result: high-contrast patterns that make each piece unique. This technique is rarely practiced in Europe anymore.
Can I reorder individual napkin rings?
Yes, all napkin rings are available individually. This allows you to gradually expand your collection or add specific pieces for particular occasions.
How do polished and niello-decorated napkin rings differ?
Polished rings have a uniformly shiny surface. Niello-decorated rings feature high-contrast ornamentation and appear more decorative. Both are made of solid 925 sterling silver.
