Silverware Sets

What’s in a Place Setting?

A standard Western place setting includes a dinner fork, dinner spoon and fork, salad fork, soup spoon, and dinner knife.

For larger serving sets, you’ll also receive serving utensils, such as a serving fork and serving spoon. These are ideal for big meals, holidays, or buffet-style entertaining.

2025 Flatware Trends

This year, flatware is getting a bold update. Black silverware and brushed gold sets offer a sleek, contemporary feel.

These new trends are perfect for mixing and matching serving pieces to create a visually striking table setting. 

Mixed metals are in, and you’ll see a rise in matte textures and PVD-coated finishes that combine function with style. 

Mandaue Foam’s flatware collection checks all these trend boxes without breaking the bank.

Material Cheat-Sheet

Our stainless steel cutlery sets are made from 18/0 steel. They’re also dishwasher safe, although hand washing is ideal for preserving color-coated finishes, such as black and gold.

Care & Maintenance Tips

To keep your silverware set looking its best, start by rinsing utensils immediately after meals, especially those with acidic ingredients like tomato sauce or vinegar.

When cleaning, opt for a cool dishwasher setting. High heat may dull mirror or satin finishes faster, so gentle cycles are safer. 

For polished pieces, a gentle buff with olive oil can easily remove streaks and restore their original shine. 

If tarnish starts to appear, a simple soak using baking soda and foil provides an effective, low-effort solution.

With just a bit of routine care, your spoon and fork sets will stay durable, spotless, and table-ready for both everyday meals and special occasions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is 18/10 Better Than 18/0 for Flatware?

18/10 offers more shine and stronger rust resistance, making it an excellent choice for upscale or coastal homes. But if you’re looking for a nickel-free, affordable option that still holds up to daily use, 18/0 is more than enough.

Will Colored Silverware, Like Black or Gold, Wear Off?

Not with PVD coatings. Our black silverware sets, like Enid, are wear-resistant and made to last through countless washes.

How Many Pieces Do I Need?

Start with one set of spoons and forks per person, then add a few extras for guests or as backups. 

For families or frequent hosts, a complete 24-piece serving set offers the best balance of function and value.
