FAQs

Silver napkin rings became prominent in 19th-century Europe as practical dining accessories used to identify individual cloth napkins between wash days. During the Edwardian era, sterling silver examples were widely produced by British silversmiths for formal table service.

Edwardian napkin rings were typically crafted from solid sterling silver containing 92.5 percent pure silver. Craftsmen employed techniques such as casting, soldering reeded borders, precision stamping of hallmarks, and hand polishing to achieve a clean finish.

Authentic items bear official British hallmark stamps, including the anchor mark for the Birmingham Assay Office, the lion passant confirming sterling purity, a specific date letter denoting the year of manufacture, and makers initials.

Place sterling silver napkin rings around crisp cotton or linen napkins on a curated dining table setting to add a classic metallic accent. They can also be displayed in a glazed cabinet alongside complementary silver tableware.

Gently clean silver napkin rings using a soft microfibre cloth and a non-abrasive silver cream to remove tarnish. Store them in felt-lined cutlery drawers or anti-tarnish fabric pouches away from humidity.
