Napkin ring 925 silver San Marco

The "San Marco" napkin ring made of 925 sterling silver is a simply polished table accessory with a delicate, rope-like twisted edge that gives the otherwise unadorned ring its Venetian-inspired name. It is suitable for festive occasions such as a birth, christening, or a child's second birthday, as well as a refined adult table piece – San Marco focuses on quiet elegance rather than a motif.

Material and Workmanship

A finely twisted rope structure runs along both edges of the ring, reminiscent of classic Venetian silversmith work – hence the name San Marco. The central surface remains smooth and highly polished, allowing the twisted edge to stand out as the sole but characterful design element. The 925 sterling silver bears the hallmark as proof of its silver content and is designed for durable use at the table.

Usage and Occasions

San Marco is suitable for festive occasions such as christenings, births, or a child's second birthday, but also for weddings, anniversaries, or sophisticated Sunday dinners with adults. Because it has no children's motif, the ring can be used equally as a baby gift or an adult gift and pairs well with existing, classically designed sterling silver tableware.

Between these two worlds lies the occasion for which San Marco is particularly well suited: school enrollment. At the start of school, the child gets their own place at the family table, with a ring that does without a children's motif and can therefore still be on the table twenty years from now.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The smooth central surface between the twisted edges offers ample space for an engraving upon request – names, initials, or a date can be arranged with the manufacturer. Upon request, we also include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) – individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge, even without an engraving.

Care

A soft cloth is sufficient to remove fingerprints from the smooth surface. The twisted rope edge requires a little more care when polishing to prevent cleaning agents from settling in the delicate twists – a soft silver polishing cloth is usually sufficient. Harsh cleaners or abrasive sponges should be avoided.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the name San Marco come from?

It refers to the twisted rope edge, reminiscent of Venetian silversmith work – the ring itself is made in Italy and carries no applied motif.

Is the ring intended more for children or adults?

Both are possible – without a children's motif, San Marco fits both the baby and christening gift selection and classic adult sterling silver tableware.

How does San Marco differ from other smooth rings in the assortment?

The twisted rope edge is the defining detail – it distinguishes San Marco from purely smooth models like Cardinale or rings with a ribbed edge like "Englisch."
