Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With its distinctive styling, Silver Tear flatware from Gourmet Settings is both sophisticated and dynamic, great for entertaining on an intimate or large scale. Heat-forged for durability, the pattern features a cylindrical handle that twists smoothly in a tight, uniform spiral. This highly composed look is balanced by the handles' finish in a fluid, drop-like shape. Comfortably proportioned working ends and a gleaming mirror finish complete the design.

With 20 pieces in all, this Silver Tear set includes four place settings, each with a salad fork, a dinner fork, a knife, a soupspoon, and a teaspoon. Crafted from 18/10 stainless steel, the set is corrosion-resistant, safe in the dishwasher, and designed to keep its finish without polishing. Silver Tear serving pieces are also available, and Gourmet Settings covers the pattern with a 50-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

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..).

I have been thrilled with the Gourmet Settings Silver Tear flatware set. I had been given a 20-piece set by my son for my birthday last year and it met and exceeded any criteria I'd had for flatware - size, weight in hand and durability. I absolutely HAD to get more and after a lengthy search both in-store and on-line I was so happy to have found the set on amazon.com! I couldn't be happier both with the product and the ease of the site.

I was specifically shopping for flatware with a woven handle when I stumbled across this pattern. I ordered because the pre-Christmas sale price was too good to pass up. I almost didn't order them because the handles looked thinner than some other brands.

I'm thrilled I ordered this set because the handles are not skimpy at all. In fact, the reason they probably look thinner in comparison to some other brands is because this flatware is very large, real shovel-it-in large. For example, the table knife is 9-and-a-half inches long, and the teaspoon -- the smaller spoon of the place setting -- holds over two teaspoons of liquid. I literally had to purchase larger drawer holders to accommodate these pieces.

These Silver Tear pieces are hefty and beautiful, and even when not on special sale are a great value.
