Cambridge Silversmiths Beacon Copper Mirror 20-Piece Flatware Set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 20 piece set comes with 4 teaspoons, 4 dinner spoons, 4 dinner forks, 4 dinner knives, and 4 salad forks. It still has a brushed stainless steel look, but it is very dark gray, like gunmetal but darker. They have very thin handles for a modern elegance. The dinner spoon is big, you can definitely get a big old scoop on there. They are pretty. I like that they are dishwasher safe, though it recommends to hand wash. We will see how long the finish lasts with dishwashing, because I am super busy and rarely have time for handwashing. It also says to avoid lemon dish detergent, which isn't a problem for me. It will be nice to have a pretty set for when I have guests over for a meal. It really makes the set up more elegant (: it makes me feel like a real grown up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a new silverware set that had the simplicity in design as my current set but also offered some modern features that are a step beyond the traditional polished look.  Enter Cambridge's satin black finished Beacon flatware set.  The weight per utensil is perfect – substantial but not heavy enough to be a nuisance in use.  I love the modern design with its narrow handles with a slight curve; and this is highly complimented by the satin finish.  The finish reflects differently at various viewing angles which really adds to its beauty. Polish/brush marks also add a nice grain to each piece. The appearance is stunning. I have run the set through my dishwasher on a variety of temperature settings - food does not stick and most importantly the finish is holding strong (this is the true test of quality with colored flatware) both in luster and durability.  I will continue building this set with more pieces because it truly does hit all marks.
