Elegant napkin rings can be created using silver or gold jewelry wire and fall-colored glass or plastic beads. Leaf-shaped beads are often available.
Simply cut about 24” of wire and make a circle the size of your finished ring, securing one end of the wire. Thread on a bead or two, loop the wire so that it twists and loops with the first circle, add another bead or two, and continue.
These can be rather open and airy, or tightly twisted. When you have the look you desire, secure the end and cut off any excess. Measure the excess, and decrease the next wire you cut so that you will have only a couple of inches left next time to avoid waste, if you had a lot left over. You may also wish to suspend tiny charms or focus beads from the excess before securing it and removing it (or you can use jewelry findings such as pins to hang these).
These rings are made even more elegant by being paired with solid colored napkins in rich colors, especially gold.
