Flatware Set 20-Piece Service for 4, Titanium Coated Cutlery,18/10 Stainless Steel Dinnerware sets with Case (rose golden) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077M8GJXL/ 6. 20-Piece Flatware Silverware Set Service for 4 Stainless Steel Cutlery Include Knife Fork Spoon Dishwasher Safe (Gold) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071GLYPC5/ (link seems to show only black color now) If you are looking for a rich Gold color and good weight, the "Onlycooker" sets are great for long spoons and chopsticks (#1). I bought both the Gold as well as the Rose Gold and the colors are rich with a mirror shiny finish. In terms of the rest of the stuff (forks, regular spoons, tea spons, butter knife, etc.) it gets a bit more complicated. Dealight (#2) delivers in the weight and the color, as well as the overall quality of the polish and smoothness of the utensil. The only downside to delight is the style is fairly ugly, and the balance of the utensils is pretty off (they tend to be very top heavy, "top" being the part you put in your mouth). Igolee (#3) has essentially the same color but the weight is just not there, the utensils feel super light. Also, the finish had more imperfections than the Dealight set, and the edges are not as smooth. The only thing the Igolee set has going for it is the shape, which in some small ways I think is aesthetically more pleasing than the dealight set. The Berglander set is basically the same as the Igolee set in that it matches the rich gold color I was after but with all the same drawbacks (felt light and there seemed to be more surface imperfections than with the Dealight). The "Rose Golden" set (#5) I ordered because I thought it was a really awesome burnished gold color (the product listed both "Rose Gold" and a separate color called "Rose Golden" which I thought was more of the burnished color). However, the set that arrived in the mail appeared to be just rose gold in color (it was labelled "Rose Gold (Copper)" so I'm not sure the color I saw online even exists. The sad part is that it was a beautiful rose gold (just not what I'm going for) and it had the best weight, best balance, and best design of all the silverware I looked at. If only the color was the gold I was going for! Unforunately, it looks like the Gold color listed under the same product is a different style if the pictures are anything to go by. Interestingly, I noticed that the knife in the Rose Golden set (#5) is exactly the same as the knife in the dealight set (just different color because I ordered "Rose Golden" instead of Gold). I didn't feel like unpackaging all the silverware and taking pictures of everything and then packing it all back but I attached pictures of the two best sets for you to compare: Dealight set (Gold) and the "Rose Golden" set (unknown brand). Dealight is close and I would have stayed with them had I not found the Rose Golden set which although the wrong color beats Dealight in every other way. So I haven't found the perfect set of gold silverware yet (beyond the chopsticks and long spoons) but when I do I'll try to remember to update this! Also interested in Gold napkin rings? I also bought these napkin rings to match the gold color if you are curious about those as well. 1. Alef Judaica Napkin Rings - Highly Polished Wide Hammered Elegant Brass Rings - Set of Four https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F9IEV7U/ 2. DII Napkin Rings for Weddings, Dinners, Parties, or Everyday Use, Set of 12, Hammered Gold https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006J1ZSLA/ They are both really close in color but I would say the Alef Judaica (#1) has a slightly richer gold color and it is better polished. #2 seems a bit blurry in parts, rather than nice mirror smooth finish of #1.
