Lafayette is one of Ginkgo's top-selling flatware patterns, and with good reason. While the pieces are elegant enough for a formal occasion, the hammered finish on the handles provides a casual, handmade appeal. Nicely balanced, Lafayette handles taper from a slender neck to a wide, rounded tab end which lifts up off the table with a subtle flourish. The spoon bowls are squared off for a contemporary look, the forks feature extra-long tines, and the knife is constructed of one solid piece. Brightly polished to a mirror shine, Lafayette practically sparkles thanks to all its reflective planes.
This 20-piece set includes four place settings, each consisting of a 9-1/2-inch dinner knife, 8-inch dinner fork, 7-inch salad fork, 7-1/2-inch soup spoon, and 6-3/8-inch teaspoon. Crafted of durable 18/10 stainless steel and designed to be used on a daily basis, the flatware is conveniently dishwasher-safe, although soaking in water and prolonged exposure to acidic foods should be avoided to prevent spotting. A family-owned business since 1977, Ginkgo International is dedicated to quality design and value when it comes to flatware for the home. --Ann Bieri

I needed replacement pieces for my everyday flatware that I'd purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond years ago. These looked the same from the photo's. The only difference is they are lighter than the originals. Instead of adding them to the drawer as I intended, I'm saving them for back up when we need to use them.

Beautiful, heavy-duty well-made set of silverware that resists water spots in the dishwasher. Looks like elegant hammered steel but is actually dishwasher safe. I have a set of Gingko Lafayette from over 20 years ago that I had to match. The old silverware held up so nicely that when I mixed in this new set, you could hardly tell the difference between the old silverware and the new silverware.

I bought a second four person place setting set to complete my set. Bed, Bath and Beyond had no longer carried these (plus BBB is online only now), so I hunted for this pattern I really, really like. They are moderately heavy weight, shiny, and can also be used dor more “formal” dinner parties, as well as everyday. I completed my set with an additionalHostess Set, which I’m so glad I did. To avoid any possible pitting, discoloration or other damage, I wash these by hand…no big deal, and they look as great as they did when brand new. I am really super happy I chose these as they’re beautiful, look great with all dinnerware and glassware designs, and they are very affordable. Def recommend!

I’ve had several sets for close to 20 years and they still look brand new! When I bought an RV I bought some more. Comfortable in the hand, nice balanced weight, and beautiful.

This is better than I expected! It has a nice finish and a very nice weight. Feels like high quality and sounds odd but feels good to the lips when you use them. I'm buying more for our motor home and condo

Really like this pattern, which is flexible enough to go with plain modern decor and dinnerware (my taste) even though it also can go with some more traditional styles. It's very classy, looks more expensive than it is, allowing us to use it as our "fancy" tableware for family dinners, holiday dinners, or when company comes over. (otherwise, it's the Ikea 365 stuff). What I really like about this flatware is it has a good weight --doesn't feel flimsy, and the spoons don't flip out of your hand because they're too light. Also, the knives have a good serration to them. And the price is very reasonable for something you can use for guests--or give to one of your kids as a housewarming gift when they get their own place, for when they entertain, without breaking the budget.

Absolutely love this flatware. The individual pieces feel well made and comfortable to hold, and the hammered finish is very stylish. We only ever wash it in the dishwasher and it still looks brand new after a year.

Not only are these everyday beautiful but the dishwasher doesn't ruin the finish. This set boosted my 8 pc to a 12 pc set. Great product.
