One facet of each ring features a finely engraved silver cartouche with vegetal and scroll motifs, centered around a monogram: 'G' and 'A'. The outer surfaces are smooth, polished, and subtly glossy, with visible natural inclusions and a gentle patina near the silver details. There are no visible cracks or structural damages.

Every detail reveals the hand of an accomplished craftsman, for whom even the smallest element mattered—here, the napkin ring becomes not
