Gold-Plated Vintage Style Cutlery Set
Whenever I heard someone had bought a gold-plated vintage-style cutlery set, I always thought it was a bit much. Why would anyone buy such a thing? Maybe because of my own biases, I started noticing them more and more at dinner gatherings. At first, I thought they were flashy, maybe even tacky. But then… I started to warm up to them. I’d even catch myself saying, “Get a grip, you don’t like those sets.”
One day, a childhood friend invited me to a weekend brunch. When I saw the set there, I took it as a sign from the universe. It just couldn’t be a coincidence anymore. I was seeing them everywhere, and it was time to admit it to myself—I liked gold-plated vintage-style cutlery sets. That shimmer. The weight. The way they caught the light… They sparkled like a lead actor in a film. I was instantly hooked.
During brunch, I couldn’t even focus on what I was eating. I just kept thinking, “When this ends, I’m ordering one.” That same day, I placed my first order and started using it without shame. And I can say this without hesitation: these sets are not humble. They’re bold. They give you that full-on brunching in Paris feeling. Like you’re sipping espresso in a linen shirt with Edith Piaf playing faintly in the background. Am I exaggerating? Maybe. Is it worth it? Absolutely.

Both Stylish and Practical
Yes, of course, they look stunning. But a gold-plated vintage-style set can actually be pretty functional too (hear me out). A well-made set has plating that holds up to daily use. This isn’t costume jewelry. And the vintage design usually includes just the right curve in the handles—elegant, but very comfortable to use.
Next question—what plates should you use them with? I’ve tried different colors, but gold-plated vintage sets look best with white plates. Trust me, it creates a beautiful contrast.
Sharing My Experience
If you like taking photos and posting on social media, these will be your best content buddies. Vintage meets gold plating: two perfect elements for any photo. One friend of mine was so obsessed with taking pictures, we ended up eating cold food. Don’t be like him 🙂
Also, you’ll need a good story because they get noticed. When you host people, everyone asks where they’re from.
What Not to Pair Them With
They don’t go with everything. Gold doesn’t look great with all colors please, don’t try them with neon placemats.
Be extra gentle they’re not dishwasher safe. I always recommend hand washing. Otherwise, the plating could wear off. And honestly, putting such a classy set in a dishwasher feels disrespectful.
Where to Use Them
- Casual-but-elegant dinners at home
- Holiday brunches (especially if croissants are involved)
- When you want to make an ordinary day feel a bit special
- While staging photos because yes, they look that good
I admit it they were a bit pricey. But I use them way more than I expected. They turn even the simplest meal into something memorable, and that alone justifies the cost.
So if you’re even slightly considering it, take the leap. A gold-plated vintage-style set isn’t just about eating it’s about adding a little glam to your day. And honestly, we all deserve that.
