I am working in crafts industry for about five years now. During this considerably long period, I came across various people interested in crafts either as hobby, business or passion. With the intention of sharing my experience about crafts industry, I have started writing through various media- journals, newspapers, online forums etc.
I have been seeing disposable napkin rings in wedding functions, large family gatherings and other large scale functions. But recently, I went over to my cousins' for a stay where I saw beautiful silver and beaded napkin rings, neatly binding the napkins, placed on their dining table all the time. They were the smallest accessory on the dining table, but brought unmatched elegance to it.
About Napkin Rings: By dictionary definition, napkin rings are rings or bands of metal, wood, plastic, etc., through which a folded napkin is inserted, often as part of a place setting. The basic purpose of a napkin ring is to bind a clean napkin, generally cloth, and keep it in place at each dinner place setting. These rings can be made from anything – paper, plastic, metal, wood, glass, ceramics, anything. Though the most popular ones, till date, are silver napkin rings. Napkin rings are often matched with the other table accessories. For example, they may be embellished to coordinate with place mats, napkins, and tablecloth. Of the many napkin rings available in the market, your choice can vary amongst the following on the basis of the materials used to manufacture them:
Brass Napkin Ring, Aluminum Napkin Ring, Beaded Napkin Ring, Iron Napkin Ring, Glass / Crystal Napkin Ring, Wooden Napkin Ring, Silver Napkin Ring, Pewter Napkin Ring, Copper Napkin Ring, Ceramic Napkin Ring, Bone Napkin Ring
When I asked my cousin about them, she briefed me not just about where to buy the, but also about what king of napkin rings to look for. Out of those lets go through some of them.
Beaded napkin rings are a beautiful addition to any dining table. Beading can be done on any kind of napkin rings, like brass, copper, aluminum, silver and gold. Available in exotic colors they bring charm to any dining setting.
Ceramic napkin rings come with artistic and aesthetic features usually used only domestically. Ceramic & porcelain napkin rings are actually artistically designed pottery works manufactured according to the customer's specifications.
Crystal/Glass napkin rings, created out of small glass pieces, are extremely beautiful and delicate. Available in pleasing colors, they add gloss to the entire setting.
Silver napkin rings add a touch of sophistication and royalty to any table setting. Functional yet decorative; Silver napkins can be customized to suit other table wares.
