    Abstract: Napkin rings are used to hold a napkin when setting a dining table. An attachment mechanism encircles a napkin ring to attach decorations to a ring body. The complete encirclement allows for freedom to place one or more of a plurality of ornaments at any position or angle, and on any plane of the ring. This allows for endless decoration configurations. The embedded nature of the attachment material within the ring allows use without any decoration. In the preferred embodiment, the ring is composed in whole or in part of ferric material, and an assortment of decorative accessories which each include magnets which can be magnetically attached to the napkin ring, and in which the decorative accessories follow a specific theme such as a holiday occasion or other specific event. The complete encirclement of the attachment material allows for many different ornaments to be attached at the same time.
