If your main criterion in picking flatware is picking a set that will not rust or tarnish, and that will not require a huge amount of upkeep, then you are going to want to purchase stainless steel flatware, which is the most common type out there. You can purchase this just about anywhere. It is a much cheaper alternative to sterling silver flatware, and oftentimes can look just as nice. Especially when the silver is rusting, and the steel isnt.
