• Buying Guide

  Crystal and glass are the most common materials used to make goblets.

  Crystal is more expensive and delicate. It should not be washed in a dishwasher and requires regular polishing. For a set of two prices start at $50. Glass is considerably cheaper starting at only seven dollars per set for smaller goblets.

  Both materials can be engraved to commemorate a wedding or big event.
