GorhamStudio 45-Piece Flatware Set, 6.30 LB, Metallic

Beautiful silverware, heavy and sturdy. My first time spending a lot of money on silverware and I'm happy with purchase. Heavy and feels good in my hand. My husband doesn't pay a lot of attention to things I purchase for our home but he noticed this silverware right away and told me "great purchase" :)

A very pretty set and nice to be encouraging a country like Vietnam economically but I am afraid the set does not stand the test of time (one dishwasher run and the knives had marks of rust and water already!). I have tried to wash and dry by hand to take of marks but they won’t go away. The cheese knife and the serving spoon pictured I have washed by hand only, thinking that maybe the set was not dishwasher safe, despite indications to the contrary, but same results! At 200$, I was hoping for better :(

I just received 4 sets of the Gorham 5-piece flatware and love it! The design is beautiful, nicely crafted, very simple and elegant. It is a good weight, well balanced, not too heavy, I like a lighter feel in my hand. It has a shiny look so will mix nicely with my sterling silver (also by Gorham) so will be handy if I need an extra setting or two for fancier occasions.The soup spoon is deep enough to hold a proper helping without spilling. The tines on the fork are finely honed and not clunky and rough, like some stainless forks I’ve seen.I am delighted...I’ve been looking for a few years to find something I love.

I did a lot of research and decided on this set for the quality of the brand. It definitely delivered and met/exceeded all my expectations. It is a beautiful set, on the heavier side, and just right size for every piece, although the tablespoons could be slightly larger, but I am very happy with this purchase. It is highly polished so I recommend as the manufacturer also recommends to dry as soon as possible after washing as it does spot very easily if not. I handwash and dry immediately as I do not have a dishwasher. No rusting issues so far and it's worth every penny! I would definitely buy for gifts as looks and feels expensive and is very nice.

I like this set, but be aware that the larger spoons are so deep that it’s hard to actually use them.
