For this breathtaking, one-of-a-kind sterling silver martini set by artist Saign Charlestein, the idea that words can sometimes fall short in conveying true beauty feels especially apt. Raised entirely by hand from solid .925 sterling silver, the twists, curves, textures, and singular forms of the vessels create an experience that feels both sculptural and sensorial—one that rewards close attention from the martini aficionado. Saign, a world-class metalsmith working from his studio in Washington State, brings together art, function, and form in a design of his own making, realized in collaboration with our founder, Abe. The set includes a pair of dynamic, richly textured glasses, 24k gold cocktail picks, and a custom-made solid steel box. Each glass features a dramatic, tornado-inspired twist that begins at the base and flows upward with confident movement and definition to the rim. Elegant and complementary, the solid gold picks echo this motion, their continuous twist transitioning into a smooth, polished section before tapering to sharp, precise points. Together, the elements form a cohesive whole—objects that command attention while remaining inviting in use. Each unveiling of the set is a moment in itself, whether shared with guests or enjoyed in quiet appreciation. Encased in carbon steel and lined with dark fabric, the box is both protective and visually striking, designed to enhance the natural luminescence of the pieces within when opened or displayed.
