Vintage Souvenir Shell Napkin Rings

One of our most elegant vintage finds, the Vintage Souvenir Shell Napkin Rings are a unique collection of antique memorabilia from around the world. From the early 1900s through the 1960s, souvenir shops, restaurants, and hotels—from the Cote D’Azur to Cape Cod—sold engraved conch shell napkin rings, often hand-carved with local motifs like palm trees and alligators. Many were branded with the names of tourist destinations or hotels. After years of collecting, we’ve curated one-of-a-kind sets, each featuring unique carvings, sizes, and origins. Sold as sets of 4.
