Upon opening the box when my Melanie crystal glasses arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see the glasses were trimmed with a silver edge at the top. They were beautiful. However, after one washing, I was horrified to find one glass showing significant signs of wearing on the silver edge. (Yes, I did put it in the dishwasher.) I could rub it off with my finger! So I took a magic eraser and finished rubbing off the silver trim with no effort at all, leaving a pale yellow color on the edge of the glass. This was very disappointing. I won't be putting these in the dishwasher again. Now I am wondering how toxic is this silver edging.  How to improve this product? Leave off the silver edge. The glasses are beautiful without it.
