interesting! who would have thought so? i always thoughjt that expensive napkin rings from silver would be way classy and ritzy.
but i would not avoid having a dinner party because of that. if i would want to have a dinner party and i would want to have napkin rings i will have a dinner party with napkin rings, no matter what it looks like. i do not care for napkin rings... but when i am having a party we drink wine from tetra paks, which is worse then 1000 napkin rings (i guess).
