We live in a generation where fancy China seem old-fashioned and couples co-habitate before marriage, so some of the traditions around formal dining seem a bit.. aged. But, some sleek design changes and adaptations of older classics have created more practical pieces that can be used everyday or on special occasions.
Our favorite example of this is gold utensils. The sets can get a bit expensive, but they’re worth the investment. We recently got engaged and registered for a few sets of gold flatware which we get complimented on all the time. (You can read about our favorite items to register for here.) Here are a few of the best gold flatware sets with an updated twist.
This West Elm Gold Flatware set is the one that I own, and right now it’s on sale for a set of four for $112! The sleek design was striking to me and it doesn’t feel at all out of date.
If you want to get in on the trend for less, we love this 20-piece gold flatware set for just $31.99.
Design Within Reach has this great Almoco collection that comes in four different shades, including this gold shade. We also love the copper shade.
This Gorham Argento 5-piece set is pricy at $120 a setting, but beautiful.
