Honestly, when I ordered Sterling Silver grinders for this sum I was expecting something with more heft. You can feel it in the hand. When you pick up a vintage items you can feel the ounces of silver in the item along with the hallmark. When I lifted these they were lighter than I had imagined and that was a disappointment. Its mostly hallmark. At £400 for a set I would have expected some heft. The engraving is nice, the service fast and professional, the items look very nice. I've got a nice gift as I intended but I do sense I've been a victim of marketing and paying for a name/hallmark and not quite so much actual precious metal.
