Choosing silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery
Good cutlery should last you a lifetime, so make sure you choose the best silver or stainless steel cutlery you can. Whether you’re choosing cutlery for your wedding list or it’s just time to replace your tired old cutlery with something that will add a real sparkle to your table, it’s worth taking the time to choose the right set for you. Silver and stainless steel cutlery is still popular, despite the wide range of cheaper cutlery available on the high street. It’s popular because it’s well made, well balanced and because it lasts for years with relatively little care. Silver cutlery or stainless steel cutlery? If you’re planning on spending a reasonable amount on your cutlery service, you usually have a choice between silver and stainless steel. This may, in the end, come down to personal preference, or to budget, but it’s worth looking at both types before you make your decision. Most people choose silver if they’re only using the cutlery for special occasions. Stainless steel is more suitable for everyday use, as it’s hard-wearing. Most stainless steel cutlery is known as 18/10 stainless steel, which refers to the fact that there is 18% chrome and 10% nickel in the chromium alloy steel. This makes the cutlery durable and tough. Sterling silver cutlery must be hallmarked, and may tarnish if not cared for properly, but will look fantastic on your table, and, with a little care and proper storage, will last for years. Silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery patterns If you’re looking for traditional patterns, then Glazebrook and Co. can help.

In addition to these basic patterns, you can also choose silver or stainless steel cutlery with added patterning on the base of the cutlery handle, such as a shell, fluting and beading. The most important thing to do when you’re buying new cutlery is to try it out. Your cutlery must be comfortable to hold and use.
