 No longer 18/10 flatwareApr 09, 2010
By Picky CO Mom
I received 10 placesettings of this flatware in 1997 for my wedding. I just ordered 6 more placesettings of the same at the end of Dec 2009. When I received them I noticed they were not quite as heavy and not as rounded as my older sets. After a few washes, I took a closer look at them as they weren't washing as well either. I noticed the stamp on the back of the new ones says 18/8 not 18/10. I am not as pleased with the new sets and am very disappointed that companies keep selling this product as 18/10 when it is not.

 the "starter kit" of the Studio lineDec 31, 2003
By sillygirl412
"sillygirl412"
Pros:
1) dishwasher friendly
2) scratch resistant (for the most part - but don't scrub the life out of it!)
3) great for everyday use, but stylish enough for formal entertaining
4) the knives are sufficiently sharp for most meat dishes
Cons:
1) they hold heat extremely well, so watch yourself after they've been run through the d/w or been accidentally left in a pan that you're stiring
2) if you eat spaghetti like a true Italian (which I'm not, but I still eat this way), and wind your noodles around your fork by using a spoon, here's a word of warning: The spoons' bowls get scratched by the fork tines too easily and you end up with a dull-looking finish (otherwise, this set is very scratch resistant, as mentioned above). To minimize this, just use the same spoon everytime you need to use one for this function - you will unfortunately be able to tell which one you've used before.Overall, we are very statisfied with this set as a whole. They have gotten daily use for the last 2 1/2 years and have served us well. Even the specialized serving pieces (sold separately)get frequent use.

 Elegant flatwareDec 05, 2004
By Pickypicky
My husband and I purchased a set of Studio by Gorham flatware four years ago. We considered many brands and styles at the time and decided that we wanted to buy one set that would do double duty for everyday use and for entertaining. I think we made a wise purchase. This flatware has a pleasant heft to it, and by that I mean all of the pieces, not just the knives. The pieces are also well balanced so that they are comfortable in the hand, and the narrow neck which tapers to a wide handle is very elegant. My only slight complaint is that the finish is highly polished, and over time it has become scratched, however, I consider that only a minor flaw since any set of flatware will show wear. I am very pleased with this set, and I think it was one of the best purchases we made when we got married.

Still good, but quality has declined.Sep 25, 2011
By jd0620
We received a set of Gorham Studio flatware for our wedding over 10 years ago. It had a great, weighty feel and an impeccable finish, and we used it as our everyday flatware set for over 10 years with nightly trips to the dishwasher. After over 10yrs of heavy use and hard water/dishwasher beatings, a couple of the knives began to spot with rust. We ordered a few new sets on Amazon as replacements, but what came was a different product. At some point, Gorham changed the manufacturer and the newer sets are made in China, not Japan. They are not as weighty and the finish is not as nice -- you can tell right away when you pull them out of the box. It is still a nice set, but the quality is not nearly as good as in prior years. Hopefully they will change the vendor and regain the quality they built their reputation on.

The Gorham Studio pattern is great!Aug 13, 2008
By Texan d'Acadien
This is a great casual flatware pattern made by Gorham, a very reputable company. I love the way the silverware feels in my hand. It's pretty, too. I think it is also very affordable and looks more expensive than it is.
Great item for a wedding registry.
