The gently rounded handles of this simple pattern make it pleasing to both the eye and the hand. A hammered finish adds visual interest and harmonious texture to the design. Modern, yet following in the footsteps of tradition, Lafayette will suit many different settings.
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, almost handmade appeal. The handles taper from a slender neck to a rounded tab end which lifts up off the table. 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.
This 45-piece set includes eight 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. Accessorizing the settings to complete a well-coordinated table is a five-piece hostess set, comprised of a 9-inch serving spoon, 9-inch pierced spoon, 8-1/4-inch cold meat fork, 7-inch pointed butter knife, and 7-inch sauce or gravy ladle. Brightly polished, Lafayette is made of moderately priced 18/10 stainless steel and is dishwasher-safe, making it ideal for everyday use. 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

- Nice looking pieces, good value
- I just purchased this set and really like the hammered looking finish. The pieces all feel very weighty and are good sized for those who like more substantial flatware. The only thing I would like to point out is that it is 18/0 and not 18/10 as Amazon's product description states. However, for the $100, I think the… More reviews
- Gorgeous! Very chic flatware.
- Beautiful, modern, well designed flatware. It's a gorgeous set, with a very reasonable price for the quality. I highly recommend this silverware for anyone that wants a slightly modern look with high quality materials. I haven't used the set yet, as I am moving into my new apartment this weekend, but I am quite sure that this set is a winner. … More reviews
- Still Beautiful Tableware a Year Later...
- 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… More reviews
- Beautiful but it rusts
- 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… More reviews
- Nice weight and size for bigger people
- We saw individual pieces of this pattern at a cook store, then went on line to find a complete set...we really liked the weight and size of the flatware, as we are both tall, larger-sized folk and other flatware seemed not as substantial and comfortable in our hands; really nice looking set and we are very happy with it after using it for a month or so...
