After 12 years (and many missing pieces), it was time to update my flatware set. My old set was Martha Stewart and had served me very well, but I wanted something "different" this time and the entire handmade Gourmet Settings line definitely caught my eye. I let my family vote on the pattern, and they all liked the twisted look on the Silver Tear set. After receiving the set, my first impression was that they looked absolutely awesome but they felt quite a bit heavier than what I was used to. They also do not rest completely flat on your finger when you use them (because of the round shape of the stem). But this didn't seem to bother anyone in my family except me so I decided to wait awhile and see if it was just a matter of getting used to them.
Well I'm glad I waited because after only a week of daily use I am completely used to them. The quality of the set is exceptional and I love they way they look and feel in my hand. The bowls on the spoons are very smooth and comfortable to eat from. I have added the demitasse spoons and the spreaders and will eventually purchase another 4 place settings.
I also purchased the J.A. Henckels International Flatware Tray to store them in (see my uploaded picture above).
If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, this set is sure to please. Also, Amazon has the best price that I could find anywhere (and believe me I searched..).
