Napkin rings and napkin holders in silver plated finish, from around ₹660 with every piece sold on its own. The rings run from a plain high-polished band through a beaded surface, a tan leather inlay and an open diamond trellis, and the holders stand a stack upright on a triangular stand or a pierced round plate. The Signature design covers both a ring and a holder, so the piece at each place can match the one in the middle.

Who It Is Best Suited For

Someone laying a table for a fixed number of seats buys rings in that number, one at each place, so the count is decided before the design is. Someone who wants a single piece standing on the table through the week buys a holder instead, and one holder serves everyone who sits down to it. A holder is also given as a gift on its own, complete without a matching set behind it, and it is the piece in this collection that goes to a wedding or into a trousseau.

Where Each Piece Sits and When It Is Used

A ring encircles one folded napkin and sits either on the plate or to the left of the forks, and it is the piece a formal table setting calls for. A napkin holder for dining tables stays in the middle and holds a folded stack upright. It is the piece for casual dining, for meals eaten outdoors and for buffet service where guests help themselves.

What Silver Adds to a Napkin Ring

Napkin rings are also made in wood, bone, porcelain, glass and moulded plastic. Silver is what most of them were made in when the object was new, and unlike the rest of those materials it holds its value rather than depreciating. Silver napkin rings and the holders alongside them are never in contact with food, so both carry the tarnish-resistant coat over the whole surface, where a katori or a plate is left bare for food contact.

Care and Delivery

Silver and silver plate both tarnish in open air over time, and the coat is what holds that off. Wipe these with a soft, moist flannel cloth and nothing more, because silver polish and abrasive cleaners strip the coat itself. Ships free across India in gift-ready packaging.
