Juan Carlos Pallarols Orfebre

Fodor's Review:

Argentina's legendary silversmith has made pieces for a mile-long list of celebrities that includes Frank Sinatra, Sharon Stone, Jacqueline Bisset, Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, the king and queen of Spain, and Princess Máxima Zorrequieta -- Argentina's export to the Dutch royal family. He's designed everything from tableware and trays to papal chalices; a set of his ornate silver-handled steak knives is the perfect way to celebrate cow country, though you'll part with a few grand for the pleasure. The less pragmatic can make like Antonio Banderas and Maradona: commission a silver rose (thorns and all) for their true love.
