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.
