Choose a Festive Color Palette for Your Table

Your color palette will determine the entire mood of your holiday table, so be sure to really consider what kind of style you’re going for before committing.

A simple way to get in the spirit is by bringing out pieces with charming holiday motifs. If you’re looking for something festive, you can opt for traditional Christmas trees or gift engravings, or go for something more subtle and seasonal such as snowflakes or holly berries.

Bring out fresh berries, garlands, or pinecones as a centerpiece to emphasize the look and bring a natural, authentic feel to the theme. You can pair this with your holiday flatware to complete the look.

If you want something even more muted, choose flatware with interesting shapes and details like curved handles or fine detailing patterns. Anything out of the ordinary will help mark the occasion and help frame your holiday meals with style and grace.

Use Metallic Touches for a Y2K Glam Look

If you’re wanting to try out a glitz and glamor setup this year, why not layer different bold textures? Mix hammered metal, etched glass, and even vintage pieces for an eclectic 2000s aesthetic. Don’t worry about clashing silver, gold, or rose gold, instead have fun with it! Show off your one-of-a-kind pieces as a fun conversation starter during the festivities.

Personalize Your Flatware

Celebrating with your closest loved ones this year, or celebrating something special? Surprise your guests with personalized pieces. Christofle offers high-quality silver plates and flatware with intricate detailing inspired by the elegance of French chateaus.

Both the Christofle Albi Silver Plate Flatware and Christofle Albi Acier Stainless Flatware can be engraved with your initials or even your family crest for the perfect generational gift meant to last a lifetime. Why not infuse your flatware with meaning and memories before passing them down?

Store Them in a Special Holiday-Themed Box or Case

If you want to make bringing out the holiday flatware an ultra-special occasion, consider buying pieces stored in a beautifully crafted seasonal casing. Casing like flatware chests adds that extra special touch to the holiday season. They are a reminder of the uniqueness of the holiday being celebrated, as well as the sentimental value of the flatware stored.

Whether stored in a carefully crafted chest or alternative casing, it is important to protect your flatware used for special occasions. Allow your flatware to be protected year-round without the concern of tarnishing through airborne sulfur with storage bags from Hagarty Silver Keepers and Reed and Barton.

Use drawer liners that will allow your flatware to stay shiny, organized, tarnish-free, and ready for immediate use. For a more contemporary storage approach and ready use, consider the 3-Piece Ceramic Caddy for easy transport to the dinner table or buffet. Whether for year-long protection or immediate accessibility, secure the longevity of your flatware with a holiday-themed box or case.

An All-American Christmas with American-Made Ornaments

There are a lot of advantages to supporting local creators. By buying American-made items, you not only support the national economy, but you’re ensuring that each product has followed American-based labor and fabrication standards.

Purchasing items made abroad also takes a lot more energy and resources to reach its destination. American products can reach your doorstep with a lower carbon footprint. If you’re searching for beautiful ornaments for your tree this year, why not assist American workers at the same time?

Buy American-Made Products

A popular sterling silver ornament made in the USA is the 2024 Gorham Snowflake. Every year since 1970, Gorham creates a collector holiday snowflake ornament to memorialize the year. This year, in its 55th edition, you can find a double-sided holiday snowflake design with quality sterling silver for you and your loved ones to mark the year. For an even more personal touch, add an engraving hang tag like a name, date, initials, or combination.

If you love color and traditional design, you’ll love the American-made 2024 Wonders of Christmas Gnome by Wallace Silversmiths. This 15th-edition piece weaves together rich hues of green, red, and gold to give your tree a little extra sparkle. It also uses high-quality gold plating paired with enamel, so it can last from generation to generation as a special keepsake. Each purchase also comes with a beautiful ribbon for hanging and a protective gift pouch for easy and safe storage.

American Brands

You can appreciate your ornaments even more deeply when you understand the background and dedication that goes behind each piece. Each American brand tells a unique story about its origins, growth, and talented workers.

For example, Gorham is a company that has been producing beautiful silver items since 1831. Their silversmiths work hard to ensure every piece meets the excellent expectations of craftsmanship required of them. This Rhode Island-based company is a wonderful choice if you’re looking for commemorative pieces that are made in America.

Craftworkers from Wallace Silversmiths trace their beginnings to Robert Wallace, who is known for creating the first nickel spoon in the United States way back in 1835. He then merged businesses with other well-known silver creators over the decades.

Today, 200 years later, his business belongs to the Lifetime Brands family well-known for their excellence in silver production. Today, you can complete your Wallace Silversmiths collection with pieces from all across the country marked from the 1800s to 2024.

If you’re interested in encouraging other national brands and boosting the local economy, search the Silver Superstore website for other popular American brands like Beacon Design, Empire Silver, Hand & Hammer, and Towle to get started.

Supporting National Manufacturers

Choosing to buy from American manufacturers is an easy way to help support the country. The more local creators earn, and in turn spend, on other local creators, the healthier our economic growth prospects become. Unfortunately, many American manufacturing companies have decreased nationally, which means fewer funds are invested into nearby communities through the jobs they create.

When you give money to American-based companies you can feel good about assisting the national manufacturing industry, bolstering the national economy, helping to prevent excessive imports and debt, and supporting jobs for your fellow citizens.

Do you want to refine the appearance of your Christmas tree this year? Simply choose some of the timeless details below for an easy fix!

Statement Tree Toppers

Parties, dinners, and other gatherings with family and friends are some of the best parts of the holiday season. Some holiday event guests will have their gifts for family and friends purchased and wrapped several days or even weeks in advance.

However, life can get busy during the holiday season, so it’s not uncommon to grab gifts for your hosts just a few days before.

4 Sentimental Silver Gift Ideas for Christmas

Posted: November 18, 2021 in Gifts, Christmas
Tagged: christmas gifts, Christmas Ornaments, Picture Frames

Gifting is one of the best parts of Christmas. You get to see other people’s faces light up as they open their presents, and you start to feel warm inside when you realize someone else has thought about you.

On the flip side, gifting can also be very stressful. Coming up with a unique, practical gift that your recipient will love and use may feel impossible, especially when you need to buy more than one.

We’ve got you covered. Here are four sentimental silver gifts that your loved one will cherish for years to come.

Silver Picture Frames

Picture frames allow people to capture and hold onto their most important moments, and the silver picture frame is a luxury item that will stick around for a long time. Though the pictures may change over the years, your loving gift will remain. You can make the gift even more special by framing a sentimental photo or item.

Picture frames are timely gifts that double as decoration pieces. Their versatile nature is what makes them such great gifts. You can get creative by framing a map of their favorite city, a handwritten note or letter, foreign currency, or other nostalgic memorabilia.

Engraved/Personalized Silver Christmas Ornaments

Christmas is all about tradition. It’s the best way to establish a sense of belonging and comfort among your family and friends.

What better way to commemorate the holiday than with a keepsake silver Christmas ornament? You can personalize these ornaments with a name, a phrase, or even the year to remind your loved one of the time you have shared.

What’s better is that each time they reach for their Christmas decorations, they’ll think of you and your love for them. These items can then be passed on through the years, sparking interesting holiday conversations.

Engraved Silver Baby Cups for the Little Ones

Don’t go the traditional route. Gift the baby in your family a staple gift they can pass down for generations to come. An engraved silver baby cup is a thoughtful item that the proud parents won’t see coming.

Toys and clothes are common gifts for new additions to the family, but your gift will easily steal the show because of the thought and care you put into it. These cups are pretty to look at and very durable. That durability will come in handy during their toddler years.

Silver Revere Bowls for Beloved Hosts or Hostesses

Are you wondering what to get your holiday host? Get them a gift that matches their charm. With a silver revere bowl, they’ll feel very appreciated for their efforts this season.

Revere bowls, also called Liberty Bowls, are commonly used to commemorate special events or achievements. What better occasion than Christmas to show someone that you recognize their efforts?

Your host will get lots of use out of their new luxury item. They can use it as an elegant centerpiece, a jewelry dish, a punch bowl, or storage space.

Festive Holiday Tablescapes Featuring Fine Silver

Tagged: christmas, christmas silver, dinnerware, Holiday Decoration

When it comes to Christmas dinner, a tasteful table setting is half the work — the other half being the cooking! We know the basics of decorating a home for the holidays: putting up the tree, adorning it with ornaments, hanging the wreath, and wrapping garland around the banisters.

However, when it comes to setting a table that’s festive, elegant, and yet still functional, it can be hard to know what accents send a holiday message without overwhelming the meal itself.

Here are a few must-have touches to complete your holiday tablescape this year.

Elegant Dinnerware

Plain white plates and bowls with gold accents always emanate warmth and exquisiteness. However, if you’re looking for something a little more cheery, you might be in the market for some more vibrant and colorful holiday and Christmas dinnerware.

Don’t forget to accompany this collection with a similarly festive Holiday 5-piece Serving Set to make scooping up that sweet potato casserole all the more enjoyable.

If holiday-everything isn’t quite your style, there are plenty of Oneida flatware patterns that are ornate enough to match the occasion without breaking the bank.

Fine Silverware

The silverware you choose makes a statement, and it’s important that it matches the meal you choose to serve. A nice, weighted, stainless silverware set is perfect for accompanying a hardy holiday meal.

You can keep the jolly theme going with Christmas flatware, like the Holiday Stainless Flatware by Liberty Tabletop which features a snowflake pattern all along the handle. The end of each handle is also adorned with a classic Christmas icon, like a nutcracker, snowman, and Christmas doves.

Warm Decor

The centerpiece of your holiday table is just as crucial as the eating utensils you supply. Invest in some beautiful silver candlestick holders to elevate the level of warmth and opulence.

Consider wrapping the candlestick holders in small pieces of garland, wound with red and gold ribbon. At the base of it all, a deep burgundy or forest green tablecloth with a plain silver or gold-colored runner will add to the holiday vibes.

3 Occasions to Commemorate with an Ornament

Tagged: Baby's First Christmas, christmas gifts, Christmas Ornaments

Though we know many Christmas ornaments symbolize the warmth and togetherness of the holiday season, they can also serve as a commemoration of other occasions.

Christmastime is a milestone for many that represents not just the peak of the holiday season, but the culmination of other events that took place that year.

An occasion-based Christmas ornament can make a beautiful gift or family heirloom. So without further ado, here are three great occasions that can be wonderfully commemorated with a Christmas ornament.

Our First Christmas

Whether you and the one you love have tied the knot this year or just established yourselves as life partners, it’s an event worth celebrating! Wedding & Our First Christmas Ornaments are beautiful reminders of the first Christmas you spend together as a couple.

This is an especially lovely gift for newlyweds that tie the knot during the holiday season. Have it engraved with the year to make it an ornament they look back on forever.

A timeless reminder of love, devotion, and the many Christmases you’ll spend together for years to come, it’ll be a token of your commitment and reminder of Christmas’ true meaning: love.

Our New Home

What better way to say “Happy Housewarming” than to give a Christmas ornament that permanently marks the occasion in stone — or in this case, silver!

If you know a couple that has just moved into — or purchased — their first home together, a New Home ornament is a lovely gift. You can have it engraved with their new address or the year.

A New Home ornament doesn’t even have to serve as a gift. Perhaps you’re shopping for ornaments to decorate your first Christmas tree in said home and feel one representing your new abode is the right fit. Rest assured, you’re absolutely right.

One look at your New Home ornament and you’ll feel just as cozy as you do inside the place you call your own.

Baby’s First Christmas

What better occasion to celebrate in unison with Christmas than the presence of a new life? If your little one is about to enjoy their first holiday season, you might want to mark the momentous occasion with a Baby’s First Christmas ornament.

A Baby’s First Christmas ornament also makes a great gift for new parents. You can gift it at any time of the year and watch their faces light up with proud parental memories when they finally hang it.

Your little one’s first Christmas is a significant experience: you’ll watch their faces light up at the beautiful lights and essence of Santa for the first time in their lives. Why not also watch their twinkly eyes marvel at the shine and glimmer of a beautiful Christmas ornament just for them?

No matter what milestones this holiday season represents for you, you can cherish all the major moments of your year with the help of a commemorative silver Christmas ornament.

4 Holiday Traditions to Bring Back

Posted: October 13, 2020 in Christmas, Decorations, Gifts, Lifestyle, Ornaments
Tagged: Christmas Decorations, Christmas Ornaments, Holiday Traditions, Traditional design

The holidays are upon us and because this year has been a doozy, holiday cheer is exactly what we need to close it out. Though many of the holidays we’ve celebrated this year have been stifled under quarantine mandates, the loosening of restrictions have come just in time.

As stores and restaurants do their best to safely reopen, we can expect that much of our Christmas routine will resemble the years past.

While many are still being careful about entertaining large groups, hanging lights and decorations around your home is a tradition that can be safely done with your roommates and immediate family. And while your usual traditions drum up the old nostalgia, maybe you’re hoping to add a little spice by starting a few new traditions. And by new, we mean retro.

Popcorn & Cranberry Garland

We know stringing popcorn sounds like something out of a made-for-tv Christmas movie, but it’s just the kind of thing that can turn a boring evening into a family event. Imagine sitting around the living room, a cup of cocoa or eggnog with a splash of brandy, Nat King Cole on in the background, and bowls of popcorn (to string AND snack).

It’s an activity that’s easy to do while catching up on life’s events. Pop some cranberries on those strings and you’ve got yourself a simple, yet festive tree decoration.

Ornament Exchange

Decorating the Christmas tree is a common tradition in many homes. Each year, a tree is brought home from the tree farm (or the faux tree box is pulled out of storage) and decorated with the same ornaments from the year before.

Whether they’re generic and solid colored, craft ornaments made by your children, or decorative heirloom ornaments passed down from generation to generation, adding a new one each Christmas is a fun way to commemorate the year.

Wrap a new ornament, Invite over a few friends, and make a game of it! Roll dice and choose whoever has the highest number to start. Continue that way until all of the ornaments are given out. For an added bonus, allow each player (at the start of their turn) the opportunity to steal from someone who has opened their ornament already.

Mistletoe

Kissing under the mistletoe might seem like a thing of the past, but when it’s meaning might make you want to bring it right back to the present. Historically, the Greeks started the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe at weddings to increase the chances of fertility.

Later, it became a symbol of peace. Enemies at war would restore peace by coming under the mistletoe in agreement. After the year we’ve had, a little peace between friends and family might be just what you need!

12 Days of Christmas

This tradition might be a little more familiar to you. Many families still celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas, but if you don’t, it could be a fun addition to the festivities you’ve already planned.

While it has traditionally been a religious ritual meant to commemorate the day that the three wisemen came to visit Jesus on the 12th day, you can make it your own.

It begins on Christmas Day and ends on January 6th. You can celebrate by opening one gift per day as a family (or one gift per person in the household) or enjoy a wintry activity that your household can enjoy together. You can also purchase from our 12 Days of Christmas ornaments, and hang one ornament on each corresponding day.

A dinner party is only as sophisticated as its flatware. A full set of matching cutlery creates an elegant atmosphere quicker than any smooth jazz playlist.

Choosing quality silverware

From the butter knives to the soup spoons, every piece of the Reed & Barton 1800 collection indicates excellent craftsmanship.

The fanned, fluted handles are graceful and subtle. Mirror-bright stainless steel shines atop your finest napkins. And at standard weight, all of the utensils will feel natural in your guests’ hands.

Every piece counts

The 1800 collection includes everything you need for a sumptuous holiday feast. It’s not just forks and spoons. Dip into your rich winter sauces and gravies with the gravy ladle. Its rounded teardrop shape was designed for optimum drizzling. Stir cups of cocoa with the smaller teaspoons. Use the large pierced spoon to serve savory vegetables.

The shell-shaped sugar spoon is perhaps the most beautiful member of the collection. And it’s not just for the sugar bowl. Put it on display–and put it to work–scooping cranberry sauce or jam.

You’ll need the salad fork, with its wide, curved tines, to grasp a tart winter salad packed with slices of apple and pecan.

From dinner to party

Now that you’ve set the table, it’s time to set the mood. Here are some ways to create a holiday ambiance.

WINTER WONDERLAND: Reed & Barton’s sparkling flatware complements an icy theme. Dress the table in a snowy white cloth. For the centerpiece, try a spray of tiny white flowers, like baby’s breath. Or forgo the flowers and set out artsy white winter branches.

MERRY AND BRIGHT: For a jollier setup, stow the tablecloth away in favor of bright red cloth place mats. The 1800 collection pops against the scarlet fabric. Arrange red ribbons or holly wreaths around cozy glass jar candles. Position them up and down the feast table.

RUGGED CHARM: If you can’t spend the holidays in a swanky ski lodge, bring the lodge to you. Drape a red buffalo check cloth over the table. Make a few woodsy centerpieces out of evergreen boughs and pine cones. Reed & Barton 1800 silverware adds a twinkle of après-ski luxury to the rustic decor.

However you set it, Reed & Barton’s 1800 collection has all the ingredients for a memorable holiday dinner. Expect the sleek stainless steel utensils to become a year-round favorite.

A Brief History Of The Wallace Candy Cane

A History Of The Wallace Candy Cane

The 2024 Wallace Candy Cane is just one of the many classic ornaments that we offer at Silver Superstore. This piece has been released annually for decades, but where did it get its start?

A Brief History Of The Candy Cane

If a legend dating to 1670 is to be believed, the first candy cane was the brainchild of a German church choirmaster. Hoping to keep the little ones quiet during a reenactment of the Nativity, he asked a local confectioner to make what he described as “sugar sticks” for them. To justify doling out treats in church, the choirmaster suggested adding a crook at the top; with any luck, that would inspire the children to reflect on the humble shepherds in the scene.

This lovely story may have some basis in truth, but the first stick candies didn’t debut until confectioners competed for prizes at an exhibition in Massachusetts in 1837. The earliest recipe for a straight peppermint candy stick was published in 1844, and there’s mention made of a candy cane in an 1866 literary work. Candy canes as we now know them didn’t show up on Christmas trees until the early 1880s.

They’re still showing up today.

The Wallace Silversmiths Candy Cane

Wallace launched its popular silver sleigh bell ornament series in 1971. Competitors were turning out snowflakes, crosses, Christmas trees and other emblematic designs.

In 1981, Wallace started producing annually issued candy canes as well. The ornaments in this series are made of gold plate and enamel and have charming seasonal motifs. As with the sleigh bells, each year’s candy cane is uniquely detailed. All are painted in traditional Christmas colors with a little lime green occasionally thrown in for variety. Every piece is a testament to thoughtful design and fine craftsmanship.

Wallace started making sterling silver candy canes in 2008 while continuing the traditional line. The silver ornaments, which are dressier than the enamel ones, incorporate Wallace flatware patterns. The Sir Christopher, Impero and Coburg patterns are recent examples.

Both ornament styles are timeless. When the trinkets are carefully unwrapped on a cold winter day, they inspire people to make a fire, bake cookies and revisit old family albums. They will make future generations smile.

Each colorful enamel candy cane has a Christmas symbol that repeats over the hook and down the length. The classic stripes are formed from gold plate. All the ornaments are around 4 ½ inches long and 1 ½ inches wide.

The first, issued in 1981, featured alternating red and green Christmas bows. Other themes in the series include holly, gingerbread men, Santa Claus hats, mittens, ice skates, snowflakes, snowmen, Christmas trees, toy soldiers and reindeer. The 26th edition featured a string of colored lights, and the 2004 issue sported a little train on a curving track.

This year’s 39th edition reverts to the red and green Christmas bow motif, but the shades are much subtler than in the original. The 2019, 12th-edition sterling silver candy cane features the Shenandoah flatware pattern. This timelessly elegant piece will add an eye-catching glimmer to your tree or mantel.

Each ornament comes with a gift box, a protective velvet pouch, a festive red bow for hanging and a brochure. The Wallace mark is stamped on the reverse side.
