Edwardian Sterling Silver Personalized Napkin Ring

This is a fine example of a circular sterling silver napkin ring (serviette holder) featuring a classic engine-turned design. The piece is constructed from a solid band of silver with slightly rolled edges for structural integrity and comfort. Its exterior is decorated with a series of horizontal engine-turned parallel lines, providing a subtle texture that catches the light. At the center is a decorative scalloped cartouche featuring the name "Lorna" in elegant cursive font, which appears to be hand-engraved. The interior shows clear hallmarking indicating its silver purity and origin, typical of British silversmithing from the late 19th or early 20th century. The item exhibits a natural dark patina indicative of its age, particularly within the recessed areas of the engraving and engine-turning. While generally well-preserved, there are minor surface scratches and slight tarnishing visible across the exterior surface. The high level of craftsmanship in the engraving and the precise engine-turning suggests a maker of quality from the Edwardian period or shortly thereafter. The ring maintains its round shape with no significant dents or warpings, making it a functional and collectible piece of antique tableware.
