Stemmed Glass, 925 Silver Niello Medallion with Photo — Gilt Wine Goblet

A wine goblet with a secret: on the cup sits an oval locket made of polished silver — a small door that can be opened. Behind it, there's space for a photo. A picture of the person you love, on a goblet from which you drink. 925 sterling silver, 175 ml, 204 grams, surrounded by dense niello ornamentation with golden accents and a gilded interior cup. No other wine goblet in the world has this — a photo locket, embedded in Russian niello hand-engraving. The most personal gift one can make from silver.

The Photo Locket — a goblet with a face

The locket on this goblet is not just a decorative element — it is a frame. A small oval window of polished silver, into which a photo can be inserted. A passport photo, a miniature wedding photo, a child's photo, a picture of someone who is no longer with us. The locket sits on the front of the cup, framed by dense niello ornamentation that flows past it to the left and right like an opening curtain.

When you raise this goblet, a face looks back at you. This is different from a goblet with an engraving — an engraving states a name, a photo shows a person. And when the goblet stands on the table, every guest sees who is looking back from it. This makes this goblet a conversation starter, a keepsake, and the most personal drinking vessel there is.

For what moments this stemware is made

Wedding: A photo of the bridal couple in the goblet — the toast at the wedding celebration becomes a lasting image. After the celebration, the goblet stands on the shelf, the wedding photo looks out, and in 25 years, it will be raised again for the silver wedding anniversary.

Remembrance: For someone who has lost a loved one. A photo in the goblet is a silent companion — not sad, but warm. When toasting on birthdays, Christmas, or anniversaries, the person is present, immortalized in silver.

Father's Day and Mother's Day: A child's photo in the goblet for Dad or Mom — it doesn't get any more personal. The child grows, the photo remains, the goblet becomes a timestamp.

Milestone Birthday: A photo of the birthday person as a child, as a young man, as a bride — in the locket of the goblet, the memory becomes a gift. Whoever receives this goblet for their 60th birthday has something no other guest brought.

Business Gift: A goblet with the company logo or the portrait of the founder in the locket — for entrepreneurial personalities and business partners who appreciate the extraordinary.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Locket Goblet

How is the photo inserted?
The locket has a small door that can be opened. You cut a photo to the appropriate size and insert it. Upon request, we can also insert the photo for you — send us the picture and we will deliver the finished goblet.

What photo size fits?
The locket is oval, approx. 25×30 mm. A passport photo can be easily trimmed. A printed miniature photo or a cut-out picture also works.

Can the goblet still be used for drinking?
Yes — 925 silver is food-safe, as is the interior gilding. 175 ml is ideal for wine, liqueur, or cognac. The locket is on the outside of the cup and does not touch the beverage.

What distinguishes this goblet from other stemware?
The photo locket — no other goblet in the assortment has this feature. The shape, size (175 ml), and niello gilding quality are comparable to the Lotus Goblet, but the locket makes it uniquely personal.

Is an additional engraving possible?
Upon request — on the base or stem. The locket itself remains reserved for the photo.
