Vintage Mother-of-Pearl Napkin Rings by Kim Seybert Sold by Neiman-Marcus Set of 6 in Gift Box

HISTORY (from online sources): Kim Seybert is a lifestyle and entertaining expert whose luxury table décor is available at fine retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and Bloomingdale’s; specialty stores across the globe; and her company website.  Architectural Digest wrote, “Her offerings aren’t just beautiful; they’re whimsical and astonishingly well-made. . . .  Seybert has become nearly synonymous with a well-dressed table.”  Kim began her career designing dresses and beaded evening gowns, but always loved tabletop.  During frequent business trips to China in the 1990s, she admired the vivid textiles on display in the bazaars and open-air markets.  A simple purchase of an inexpensive pocket square—completely hand-embroidered—sparked the idea that the intricate workmanship could translate to table décor.   Most dining accessories in the ‘90s were very basic.  “The only thing on the table with color was the flowers!” Kim points out.  She was redecorating her apartment and began designing those items for herself.  “My friends and co-workers saw what I was doing and asked if they could place orders, too,” she says.  She brought samples to Henri Bendel’s open viewing day for up-and-coming designers.  The assistant buyer took one look and referred her to the head buyer.  Neiman-Marcus soon followed—with an order for all stores, understanding their customers wanted fashion for their table as well as their closet.  It was 1998, and Kim Seybert, the brand, was born, establishing an entirely new category of modern table décor.
