Robbe & Berking: Martelé

Ice Tongs

When ice cubes deserve a little attention

Technically, it is an ice tong. In reality, the Martelé Ice Tongs by Robbe & Berking are one of those details that quietly elevate an entire drinking experience. Between filling a glass with ice and hearing that first satisfying clink lies a small ritual — and this beautifully crafted bar accessory plays its part perfectly. Measuring 13 cm in length, 5.2 cm in width and 4.1 cm in height, the tongs offer comfortable handling while bringing elegance to every cocktail, long drink, champagne serve or aperitif.

Made in Germany and finished with a premium 150g heavy silver plating, the tongs showcase the signature Martelé surface. The French word “Martelé” translates as “hammered” and refers to a traditional silversmithing technique that creates softly flowing facets across the surface. Inspired by the movement of waves on the sea, the design reflects light from every angle and highlights silver’s exceptional brilliance in a uniquely captivating way.

The beauty of thoughtful details

True hospitality often reveals itself through the smallest gestures. The Martelé Ice Tongs allow ice cubes to be served hygienically, comfortably and elegantly. Whether preparing a classic gin and tonic, an Old Fashioned, a refreshing spritz or a carefully crafted cocktail, they add a sense of occasion without demanding attention.

They pair beautifully with other pieces from the Robbe & Berking Bar Collection, creating a harmonious setting where craftsmanship and atmosphere take centre stage. Because sometimes it is the smallest details that leave the strongest impression.

Where craftsmanship still means craftsmanship

Founded in 1874, Robbe & Berking remains a family-owned company now managed by its sixth generation. Every piece produced in the renowned silversmith workshop in Flensburg follows the principle of “Manu Factum” – made by hand.

Rather than being shaped by the limitations of mass production, each item reflects the skill and dedication of experienced master craftsmen. Numerous production stages and rigorous quality controls ensure exceptional standards, making Robbe & Berking one of the world's leading names in fine silverware and table culture.

A finishing touch for memorable evenings

The Martelé Ice Tongs complement the silver-plated accessories of the Martelé Bar Collection and pair beautifully with Robbe & Berking cutlery collections such as Martelé, Dante and Riva. Their hammered finish captures and reflects ambient light, creating subtle highlights across the table or bar.

For those who appreciate timeless materials, exceptional workmanship and a thoughtfully curated home bar, these ice tongs offer far more than practicality. They are a small celebration of hospitality, craftsmanship and the belief that even an ice cube deserves to arrive in style.
