First recorded in France around 1800, silver napkin rings quickly became popular items throughout the rest of Europe as dining etiquette became more important. Used with linen napkins, the napkin ring was personal to each member of the household, ensuring that soiled napkins were not shared by people in-between wash days. Today silver napkin rings make wonderful presents for Christenings and for Weddings, and add a lovely touch of glamour to the table, even though napkins tend to be washed more frequently these days….
