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.
The best gold flatware is scratch-resistant, won’t chip or fade over time, and can be used in a variety of different settings, from formal meals to cocktail parties. And happily, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune, so there’s no need to save it for hosting fancy parties. We spoke with interior designer Arielle Mizrahi and Anam Sadarangani, the founder of the tableware company Sprezz, to help us find the best gold flatware for every budget and style.
