Patterns for a Lifetime...
Did you know that Oneida is the only silverware or flatware available for a lifetime? That means the pattern you register for now will NEVER be discontinued. It’s our commitment to you. You can purchase additional place settings, or replace lost pieces whenever you want, for years to come. More good news… Every teaspoon in this collection has the pattern name as part of the backstamp for easy identification when ordering additional pieces. What’s more, you’ll find the widest assortment of open stock items in this program.
Open Stock – Your pattern by the piece!
It happens to all of us. You lose a teaspoon and you want to replace it. Or, maybe you’d like a couple extra serving spoons or a meat fork. Open Stock allows you to buy these pieces individually. Many Oneida patterns offer select open stock items. If your pattern doesn’t carry these individual pieces, you can easily supplement your service with a simple, undecorated design. Check to see what is offered in your specific Oneida pattern, and build the set that’s just right for you and your family.

The quality of the materials...
18/10, 18/8, 18/0. These percentages simply let you know the amount of chrome and nickel found in the stainless steel alloy used to make our products. Chrome is added to help resist corrosion. Nickel gives stainless a soft, silver-like luster.
18/10 means the metal has approximately 18% chrome and 10% nickel.
18/8 has approximately 18% chrome and 8% nickel.
18/0 has approximately 18% chrome and no nickel content.
P.S. These percentages do not refer to the weight of the piece. Weight is judged by the gauge or thickness of the metal. Heavier doesn’t necessarily mean better. Keep reading!
What percentage is right for me?
18/10 and 18/8 stainless are our premium flatware lines (our highest quality) with intricate hand-finishing, precise grading and superb pattern detail. Each piece is perfectly balanced for comfortable, easy handling.
