Beautiful but it rusts
By JL
I absolutely love this pattern. It's mirrored finish is just beautiful, and I've not been able to find anything else like it. The problem is, though, that it rusts. I've had 18/10 flatware before, and have never had this rust problem. The knives seem to rust on the actual smooth part as well as the hammered handle, and the others will get it on the handles. I'm so bummed because I can't find another pattern like it anywhere. So I have to give it only 1 star because of the rust.

Still Beautiful Tableware a Year Later...
By TXCR
I received 8 place settings as a Christmas gift from my husband in 2006. This pattern is so beautiful I immediately went online to Amazon to order the steak knives, 2 hostess sets, the accessory set and an additional 4 place settings to round it out to 12. The design is a one of kind and I love the balance. They just feel good in your hand. I have never experienced any of the rust problems reported buy a couple of others reviewers. They will scratch with normal wear, but this really doesn't detract from the overall beauty.We went to dinner recently at a local high end restaurant and we were surprised to see they set their tables with this pattern.For Christmas 2007, my husband completed my Lafayette collection with the serving bowls, salt & pepper shakers, napkin rings, tray and water pitcher.Go for it! You won't be disappointed.

By Michael B
Though the Ginkgo Lafayette pattern is being produced the new products are not 18/10 as stated. Theye are manufactured of 18/0. 18/0 has no nickle content and is inferrior to the 18/10 version that Ginkgo was producing. I questioned Ginko regarding the switch to a less durable material and they have not responded. Buyer beware.If anyone does have the original 18/10 version (inked Ginko and 18/10 logo on the rear face of the untensil) please let me know as I would like to purchase a set.
