The china has a platinum band on it and the majority of the silver is gold plated. They don't match, but I love them both...as well as the history and memories they hold. Looking at all the china patterns available, both active and discontinued, makes me wonder...
"How on earth do people settle for one china pattern when choosing their wedding china?"
They are all so beautiful! I feel quite lucky to have inherited a set. It saves me the dilemma of having to choose.

They soon became her "everyday dishes" rather than "special occasion only" dishes. Yes, they were more "worn" looking, but that made them more beautiful. With such an assortment of china, guests could choose the china pattern they wanted to use as their "personal place setting" when they visited.
