Ginkgo Lafayette Stainless Flatware
In the 15th and 16th century, silver tableware was made from silver coins, since the U.S. didn't have any silver mines at the time. The coins were melted down, shaped, and hammered to their final form (the final product was called "coin silver", and it's still collected today).
Lafayette is a beautiful rendition of the hand-hammered flatware of the colonial period. Made in a shiny finish, in a heavy weight. It's currently the only 'teardrop' handle shape available in the hammered style. The hammered finish also appears on the reverse side. Designed by Wes Helmick.

What is .925 Sterling Silver?
The Short Answer:
Sterling silver consists of at least 92.5 percent silver and 7.5% percent of other metals like copper, nickel, or both. The reason for this is Pure Silver or Fine Silver, is very soft and very malleable making it easy to damage or bend. Other metal alloys like copper or nickel are added to the silver to make a more durable piece.
All items sold by Silver Superstore as “Sterling Silver” contain at least 92.5% percent Silver and are stamped with either “.925”, “Sterling Silver”, or both.

As of April 2022, Fortessa is no longer stamping their logo in their flatware pieces. We do have some stock left of the stamped versions. If you are looking to match your older, stamped, pieces you will want to select the pieces denoted with “w/stamp”.
