Decadent Dessert Done Right!

Let's face it, dinner is great but dessert, well that's a thing of the gods! Nothing says decadence like being handed a mouth-watering plate full of an array of eye appealing bits and bites that sends your taste buds into OVERDRIVE.

What part of your body starts to taste first?

A/mouth

B/nose

C/eyes

The answer is C: YOUR EYES.

It's true, your eyes take in the first stimulating elements of any meal, and dessert is no exception.

So what takes your meals to the next level of culinary creativity?

The dishes you serve them on.

We are excited to introduce a new flatware pattern to our Fortessa flatware collection. 

Bijoux is our Grand City shape stamped with a beautiful faceted pattern. 

 Not too formal, yet exquisitely wrought to live up to its name, Bijoux flatware is delicate and nuanced.

Sculpted in 18/10 stainless steel these pieces feel good in your hand and look smart on the tabletop.

Bijoux brings a lively, modern touch to any table setting. 

Casual enough for everyday and finely crafted enough for any special occasion.

Bijoux is expected to be in stock in May and will be added to our catalog in April.
