Our Flatware collection spans stainless steel, gold and bamboo-handled sets, sold both as full boxed sets and by individual piece type.
Buying a full set vs individual pieces
A boxed set gets you a complete, coordinated collection in one purchase. Buying by individual piece type — covered in more depth in our flatware buying guide — lets you weight your purchase toward the pieces you actually use most, which is often forks and spoons over, say, steak knives.
Finish changes the table's whole mood
Classic stainless reads the most versatile and easiest to pair with any dinnerware. Gold-tone flatware adds warmth and a more formal note. Wood or bamboo handles bring in a natural, more casual texture, especially alongside stoneware or ceramic dinnerware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy a boxed set or individual pieces?
A boxed set is simpler for a complete new collection; buying individually lets you weight toward the pieces you use most, which is often more economical if your usage is uneven.
Is gold-tone flatware dishwasher safe?
Check each specific listing's care instructions — many gold-tone and finished flatware pieces are best hand washed to preserve the finish over time.
How many of each piece do I actually need?
Most households use significantly more forks and spoons than specialty pieces like steak knives — base your quantities on your actual usage rather than a standard even count of everything.
Does flatware finish need to match my dinnerware?
Not strictly — flatware and dinnerware are often chosen independently, with a shared color temperature (warm metals with warm dinnerware, for instance) doing more work than an exact match.
