Description

This set of Ancient Courses Napkin Rings features the Delta region of the Mississippi River.

It was created by hand tracing historic meander maps with pencil on vellum, then re-tracing each river digitally before interweaving them manually to create the model for casting. The napkin rings are available in sets of 4 or 6. They are the first piece in a developing collection celebrating the rhythms and grace of natural geography shaped by the passage of time.

This set was designed to infuse inter-generational tableware with the warmth of history and heritage. It honors familiar landscapes, grounding social gatherings in the shared terrain that connect us across generations. 

Each ring measures approximately 2.5 x 1.25 inches. These dimensions are based on research that involved measuring a variety of antique sterling napkin rings. This size allows them to accommodate full size linen dinner napkins whether rolled, fanned, flamed, or pleated. And their substantial weight makes them perfect for outdoor dining as well, keeping napkins in place during breezy weather.

The napkin rings are made of solid .925 sterling silver (not plate). They are contrast oxidized to emphasize the contours and depth of the design. 

See these designs incorporated into the table setting of an elegant New Orleans home in the Homeworthy episode below. 

Size & Fit

    • Each item in our tableware collection has unique dimensions. See the product description or email Katherine@Xover0.store for more information.

    How It's Made

    • We design and fabricate our Sterling Silver jewelry in our Mississippi studio using the same pairs of hands that built the studio itself. Within these walls we do our own design, casting, soldering, setting, and polishing.

    We use de-oxidized .925 sterling silver grain in our castings, which means our pieces take 6 times longer to tarnish than standard sterling silver jewelry. We want you to spend time enjoying your jewelry, not polishing it. Our silver jewelry is solid not plated.

    All our designs are available in 18k gold and other precious metals upon request. Pricing is based on current market rates—please contact us for a custom quote.
