I was hesitant to purchase these based on some reviews (not all). I wanted gold flatware to go with the theme I envisioned, so I pulled the trigger on the Rush Brushed Gold because it was the only set I could find (anywhere) that I absolutely loved. I purchased two sets as I enjoy hosting and like to make sure I have enough of everything. I have not had any issues with the gold wearing off (yes, I wash in the dishwasher), and I have owned my sets for about three months now. I am thrilled with my purchase and would buy them all over again! I do have a trick if this is helpful - I wash/rinse everything before loading my dishwasher, and with my flatware, I skip a hole in between each piece to ensure they don't rub or scratch while in the dishwasher. I have plenty of space for my flatware and not doing multiple loads to get everything clean. Just a friendly, efficient tip to help keep your pretty things pretty! :)

I put these on my wedding registry and received them as a gift from my grandmother. I am so disappointed these faded after only a few cycles in the dishwasher. Now we have to hand wash them every day and they've continued to fade even from hand washing. I do not recommend purchasing these unless you plan to use them for special occasions or are ok with hand washing them daily.

I bought these in a set of 4 to try them out with a new China pattern that has gold. I loved them so much I bought another set. Holds up well in dishwasher. No problem with color. Shiny, pretty and feels good in the hand for use. Highly recommend.

These are well-made items but the color started to fade after a few months of use. I will buy again but in a no color option.

We were gifted these for our anniversary recently, however within 6-8 weeks the gold finishing is now silver. Wish they lasted much longer for the price. I was very excited when we first received them, as they are beautiful.

Bought 2 sets of the flatware set and loved it but the gold does brush off fairly quick :(

I bought these a few weeks ago and love them so much! They're stunning and functional at a great price. Highly Recommend.

I received two sets of the brushed gold flatware as a wedding present less than one year ago. The finish of the brushed gold is completely worn around the tines, spoon, and knife ends of the flatware. Additionally, the finish has mottled on several of the utensils. I was incredibly excited about the flatware when I added it to our registry, since I was specifically looking for modern, brushed gold flatware to pair with our matte black dinnerware. The weight of the flatware is quite nice and the overall design is aesthetically pleasing. The finish, however, is a disappointment.

I loved these at first, but the gold has worn off and now they appear silver. We’ve had to stop using them because I’m a bit concerned about what may be leaching into my food.

I love this set. I first purchased this flatware 5 years ago and it’s moved to 6 different locations and the gold is still as shiny and beautiful as it was the day I got it. I also am a foodblogger and they’ve made multiple appearances over the years in photos, adding pizazz to each one. Even though they’re gold, they have a timeless look that stands the test of time!

I bought this two months ago - two sets. I'm so disappointed. They're so beautiful when you open the package, but within a month two of the forks are completely silver, and the rest look terrible and worn as well

Purchased September 2020. After 3-4 months of use several pieces are silver in the main area (handles are all gold still). Love the style and feel, but gold finish is poor quality. Sorry CB2! This is why I buy vintage :( Super sad.
