I am sooo disappointed to have to write this review. After saving up for this little splurge I was thrilled when they arrived. Beautifully packaged and exactly what I had hoped for, however after just a month they have already lost their copper patina. They are now mostly a very dull grey, not even silver. They look like a 10 yr old set of silverware. I would sadly NOT recommend these for anyone. Also, since the return window is exactly 30 days there isn't even an opportunity to return them. Very Bummed!
