Napkin ring sourcing from India.
Napkin rings carry category-leading margin because the material cost is low and perceived craft value is high — Moradabad brass, beaded Jaipur, carved mango-wood from Saharanpur, bone-inlay from Jaipur, marble from Agra. Asia Sourcing runs these as collection SKUs sold in sets of 4, 6 or 8.
Product subcategories

Materials & finishes
Materials: Brass, Mango wood, Camel bone, Mother-of-pearl, Glass beads, White marble.
Finishes: Antique brass, Hand-beaded, Carved and natural-finished wood.
Set-pack discipline
Set-of-4 and set-of-6 napkin rings have a specific retail-pack risk: colour or finish drift between units in the same set. Our PSI protocol sorts and matches units within sets before carton packing — a hygiene step surprisingly often skipped at factory level, and the single highest return driver for the category.
