Luxury Napkin Rings Appraisal

Crystal Embellished Interlocking Napkin Ring

The item is a contemporary napkin ring, characterized by an elegant interlocking design. It is constructed from a combination of polished silver-tone metal and a segment encrusted with dark, possibly hematite or black diamond-colored, crystals or glitter. The napkin ring features two distinct bands that cross over each other. One band is smooth, brightly polished, and appears to be made of a durable metal, possibly stainless steel or a plated alloy, given its reflective surface and cool metallic hue. The other band is entirely covered with small, finely faceted dark crystals, creating a textured, glittery effect that contrasts sharply with the smooth band. These crystals are densely packed, providing a continuous sparkle. The overall form suggests a modern aesthetic, likely produced in the late 20th or early 21st century. No manufacturing marks or signatures are visible in the provided image. The item appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible scratches, damage, or missing crystals, suggesting either very careful use or a relatively new age. Its craftsmanship, particularly the precision of the crystal setting and the smooth finish of the polished metal, indicates a moderate to good quality item, suitable for enhancing a sophisticated table setting. The interlocking design provides a secure hold for a folded napkin, as demonstrated in the image where it holds a beige-colored fabric napkin with a subtle woven pattern and embroidered edges.
