The handles are squared at the bottom and brushed for a comfortable grip. Each of the forks and spoons are made of 18/10 stainless steel, while the knives are made using 13/0 stainless steel for added flexibility. They are dishwasher safe, and because of the pale color, you won’t have to worry about fading as much as you would with more vibrant gold hues. West Elm sells them as a set of 5, 20, or 60 to accommodate different households and party sizes.

We were surprised to find out that this antique-style gold silverware set was dishwasher safe, probably due to the 18/10 stainless steel construction. The combination of gold and silver flatware design is truly classic, and, if nothing else, a great conversation starter during a dinner party. They’re perfect for a special occasion or themed event (like afternoon tea). This 20-piece set comes with settings for four people, including dinner knives, dinner forks, salad forks, dinner spoons, and teaspoons. The West Elm Briggs Flatware features smooth edges and a classic design that will never go out of style. Unlike most gold-plated silverware with brighter colors that lean more toward yellow, this champagne gold flatware set is much more matte and muted (a good compromise if you can’t decide between gold and silver flatware). Hand washing your gold silverware with mild soap (not citrus based) and drying immediately after will ensure that your pieces stay in good shape for years to come. Likewise, don’t leave gold-plated flatware to soak overnight or use wire brushes to clean them since it can create fading or scratches on the finish.Although many manufacturers tout their gold flatware as “dishwasher safe,” gold finish is typically more susceptible to fading than traditional silverware. If you do decide to put gold cutlery in the dishwasher, avoid loading too many pieces into any one basket at a time, and consider adding a rinse aid to prevent water spots.

There’s an art to choosing the right set of gold flatware, whether you’re shopping for your next grand holiday meal or you want to brighten up lunch at home. Because gold flatware is gold-finished silverware made from stainless steel, there are two major factors to consider when buying a set: what grade of steel is used, and what type of gold finish is added. Of course, then there's the fun stuff: choosing the right style. Glossy vs. matte, rose gold, maximalist, or minimalist aesthetics can have a big impact on the decor style of your dining room table setting. A waterproof lining inside the carrying case keeps everything clean and dry. It’s also less than 10 inches across in size, great for tossing into a purse or suitcase and taking on the go.

Made in Italy, this gold flatware is constructed out of 18/10 stainless steel with gold PVD plating and a durable resin handle. The handles, available in beige Sesame, mustard-colored Ochre, off-white Vanilla, pale Sage, vibrant Cobalt, and mixed Sea, are a nod to the colorful houses in Cinque Terre. They’re completely dishwasher safe, though keep in mind that the lighter colors may stain if they’re left soaking or exposed to staining agents (think coffee or tomato sauce) for an extended period. They’re available in 5-piece or 20-piece sets. Pair them with the gold brushed Mepra Italian Serveware for a complete party collection. Thanks to this set's durable handmade quality, unique hammered design aesthetic, and relatively affordable price point, this gold flatware set easily gets our vote for the best overall set. We guarantee your dinner guests will ask where you got these golden beauties. With rare exceptions, you’ll either buy flatware in a set of five or 20. The 20-piece set will get you situated with four place settings. A five-piece set will include everything you need for one place setting, and is the best option if you just want a couple sets, or if your flatware needs are different than multiples of four. That said, it’s a good idea to have at least one more set handy than you need, in case of lost flatware or unexpected guests!
