I had been looking for 18/10 flatware for some time. Many brands which were once thought of as excellent brands were problematic in that the flatware would get brown spots or rust if put in the dishwasher. I wanted to find flatware that was beautiful but not plagued by this problem. I have found it in the Ricci Meridiani flatware. I have owned it for 2 or 3 months now, put it in the dishwasher daily and I have not had any problems with rusting or spotting, even on the knife blades which are often the most problematic because they are not 18/10 on any flatware. (This is because they have to have a different composition to make them strong enough for cutting.) The added bonus is that this flatware is beautiful in design and execution. Contrary to what another reviewer said, I find that this flatware is indeed heavyweight as compared to other flatware brands, but not so heavy that it is uncomfortable to use. I find the weight and balance to be perfect in every way. I own 16 place settings and although I examined it thoroughly on receipt due to another reviewer's report of flaws, I have not found any. This pattern is very beautiful, highly polished and would be a welcome addition to any dining table, formal or informal. We use it every day. The design is executed on both sides, giving it an extra nice touch. Don't be fooled by pictures, this flatware is much more beautiful in person. I feel that you can't go wrong with the Ricci flatware, no matter what pattern you choose.
