Yes, it is over the top but somehow I can appreciate that about silver. I used to work at Tiffany's in NYC and the very elegant gray-haired lady who ran the silver registry taught me that when you put your silver out it should be over the top. She frowned on the more sleek Elsa Peretti styles that are popular today.

That's good to know. My mother had me select my silver pattern (Michaelangelo) when I was ten. Every holiday - St. Patty's, Valentines, Halloween - it didn't matter, I received a piece of silver. Had service for 20 by the time I was married. Oftentimes, I look at it and think what a gaudy child I was. Now with this Tiffany lady's blessing, I think I'll enjoy it more. LOL.

My silver pattern (Gorham Buttercup) was chosen for my first b-day. Always thought it was too busy until I saw Grand Baroque.
