A modern sterling silver napkin ring

A modern sterling silver napkin ring
Birmingham 2017 by Esther Lord

Oval form in cross section, the body with satin finish and embellished with a descending edgde. The rim slightly sloped to the centre and worked as breaking out to the front.
An outstanding modern napkin ring of very inventive design from one of Britain´s important artist-silversmiths.
Additional napkin rings can be ordered in every quantity on demand.

Esther’s work is constructed entirely by hand using traditional techniques. She is inspired by the spatial interaction between objects and structures in the natural landscape, and also by architecture and abstract art. A combination of hand finishing techniques and acid-etching create intricately patterned and pleasingly tactile surfaces. These contrast with crisp hand scored and raised folds and soft curves which enhance the play of light and shadow over the surface of the silver and highlight its luminous beauty.
Specially commissioned pieces are owned by The Goldsmiths Company’s Modern Collection, and the Museum of Modern Art & Design, Munich, where she gained recognition after winning the Bavarian State Prize and Talente Award. Esther has also received awards from the Goldsmiths Company, the Arts Council, and The British Jewellers Association.
