Eight Pewter Napkin Rings from the Ann Kary Collection. Handmade in Mexico. Patterned rims. The Ann Kary Pewter Company was founded in 1989 by an affluent Mexican family who recognized the value of high-quality Mexican handicrafts. Even today, the same family maintains special attention to all aspects of the production process, from designing the molds, to selecting only high-quality materials, to finishing the pieces with a select and experienced labor force. This attention to detail, coupled with their elegant designs and the inherent uniqueness of Mexican pewter (a mixture of aluminum and zinc), has led to accounts in such well-known department stores as Neiman Marcus, Marshall Fields, and Bloomingdale's.
