Know before you buy
The 18/8 designation refers to the composition of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This high-quality alloy provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring the flatware remains durable and maintains its shine through years of daily use.
Yes, the Boulder set is dishwasher safe. To keep the mirror finish looking its best, we recommend avoiding detergents with citrus scents, which can sometimes cause spotting or dullness over time.
The handles are designed with a rounded, ergonomic shape that provides a comfortable and secure grip. The hammered texture adds a tactile quality that feels substantial without being overly heavy.
While the high-polish mirror finish is designed to catch the light, the hammered detailing on the handles helps to mask minor fingerprints and smudges better than a completely smooth, polished surface.
Absolutely. The contemporary silhouette combined with the classic hammered texture makes this set versatile enough to elevate a weeknight dinner while still looking sophisticated enough for formal entertaining.
