It might not be as foundational to a table as atablecloth, or practical like aplacemat, but a napkin ring can be an especially nice addition to a setting ofplates,bowls, andglasses. It’s what someone sees before an appetizer, after all. (Plus, it makes anapkinlook less naked.) So whether you’re plotting your next dinner party or want a conversation starter while passing around platters, you’ve come to the right place. I went on an exhaustive hunt across the internet and found many a napkin ring — most of which aren’t like your mother’s napkin rings. There’s everything here, from one for the owners of a Caesna flatware set to another in the form of a bow for “well-dressed” tables.
