Sleek, simple and pretty, this flatware design is wonderful. The heavy gauge stainless steel pieces have an elegant detail at the base. Dishwasher safe. Set includes: eight dinner knives, eight dinner forks, eight salad forks, eight soup spoons, eight teaspoons, one serving spoon, one pierced serving spoon, one serving fork, one sugar shell and one butter serving knife.

This contemporary flatware set is beautifully designed and perfect for everyday use. Just a tip: if hand-washing, do not use a coarse scrubbing pad - it will scratch the surface! I love this set, and may end up purchasing another one.

I hopped on here to order a second set of this so that I have service for more than 8, and after seeing the reviews on the rust, thought I should add my review. I have had this set for 4 years now and there is no rust anywhere! They are an excellent set!

Not saying that the stories about rust are not true but I came to this site to re-order spoons that we lost over the years. I am surprised by the rust stories and would conclude based on my own experience that is was a bad lot or something.
This is a really nice set as and they look good too IMO. I really like the size and shape of the tablespoons and butter knives in particular.

Going 5 Years Strong

I felt compelled to write a review about this flatware, as I've owned a set for 5 years now (even putting them away for 2 of those years and later bringing them back out for everyday use), and I can confidently say that they will *never* rust. They are as new as the day I bought them, and are a wonderfully complimentary design for any table setting.

I have had these for two years and they have never rusted. I am actually registering for a second set so I have a service for more than 8. They are simple in appearance and have held up great.

I have had these for 2 years- never rusted at all. I am registering for a second set so I have more than 8 settings. They are simple looking and have held up great.

Rusted early, and a lot!

We got this set for our wedding registry. At first we were very excited, because the set is BEAUTIFUL! It also has a great weight, but don't be fooled.
As another reviewer stated, our knives were the first to rust. As in, they rusted the very first time we put them in the dishwasher. Then the spoons, now we have rust all over them. Did I mention that we have been using these utensils for less than 2 months!!
We are going to return the set, and go with a completely different brand. I don't really understand how these utensils could of passed any quality assurance test.
Bottom line, DON'T BE FOOLED. Yes, they are beautiful. Yes, they look like they are well made. But in the end, your just going to have to return them, because they rust!!!

Rusted!

Seriously disappointing. I loved the design of these and registered for them for my wedding. After only one wash in the dishwasher the knives started rusting. I was shocked and washed them again to make sure that was what was happening. Sure enough, they were worse. We had to return them and get an entirely different set and brand.

Received this flatware from our wedding registry, and we love it! It's beautiful and sleek...modern and simple. Each piece feels good in your hand, and there's a wide variety of the special pieces that are included.
