The napkin ring, occasionally called a Christening bangle, was originally used to identify the napkins of a household between weekly wash days. Napkin rings first appeared in France about 1800 and soon spread to all countries in the western world, particularly beloved by the European bourgeoisie. Most 19th Century napkin rings were made of sterling silver or silver plate, but others were made in bone, wood, pearl, embroidery, porcelain, glass, and a myriad of other materials. In the 20th Century Bakelite, Lucite, aluminum, and many other new substances were used. Some countries, like Britain and America, produced figural napkin rings, in which the simple napkin ring is part of a small figure or sculpture that may take any shape and show any motif. Napkin rings mostly appear as single items with the name or initials of the owner, notably given as christening presents, or pairs often given as gifts at weddings anniversaries. Although they have become less common as dinner tables (as well as average household sizes) have shrunk, they are frequently collected and acquired at auctions, both for their value in silver as well as historical antiques and heirlooms.
