The style you choose is totally a personal preference and most people make a choice that reflects how and where the spoon will be used and how much they can afford to spend. Just like an absinthe fountain, the absinthe spoon is a must have for properly completing the absinthe ritual.

When you want to add a touch of class to your Absinthe Ritual, you can use a Gold or Silver plated spoon. Premium plated spoons are highly sought after by both novice Absintheurs and experienced collectors. The plating increases the cost of the spoon but also greatly increases its value and collectability. |

At this point, I will mention Absinthe Grilles. Grilles are used in place of a spoon. They work just as well as a spoon and some people feel they are better at holding a sugar cube.
It is important to note that as the intricacy and detail of an absinthe spoon or grille increase, so will the price. When you see an absinthe spoon on ebay or Amazon for an ultra low price you will get exactly what you pay for. Less expensive spoons work perfectly fine but will have less attention to detail, thinner, lower grade finishes and the overall weight and thickness of the spoon will be less than a quality absinthe spoon.
As with all absinthe accessories, you will get what you pay for.
