What is .925 Sterling Silver?
The Short Answer:
Sterling silver consists of at least 92.5 percent silver and 7.5% percent of other metals like copper, nickel, or both. The reason for this is Pure Silver or Fine Silver, is very soft and very malleable making it easy to damage or bend. Other metal alloys like copper or nickel are added to the silver to make a more durable piece.
All items sold by Silver Superstore as “Sterling Silver” contain at least 92.5% percent Silver and are stamped with either “.925”, “Sterling Silver”, or both.

What does " w/stamp " mean?
As of April 2022, Fortessa is no longer stamping their logo in their flatware pieces. We do have some stock left of the stamped versions. If you are looking to match your older, stamped, pieces you will want to select the pieces denoted with “w/stamp”.

Elevate every gathering with the timeless sophistication of the Ricci Francesca 5 Piece Hostess Set, a serving collection designed for elegant entertaining and everyday luxury. Crafted in premium 18/10 stainless steel, this beautifully balanced hostess set delivers the substantial weight, brilliant shine, and exceptional durability that Ricci flatware is known for. Francesca debuted in 2008 and quickly became one of Ricci's standout patterns thanks to its very heavy weight, shiny finish, superior balance, and distinctive two-level handle design that adds depth and modern European character to every place setting.
This complete 5-piece serving set includes a serving spoon, gravy ladle, serving fork, butter serving knife, and sugar spoon—everything needed to serve meals beautifully while coordinating seamlessly with your existing Francesca flatware collection. Whether you're hosting holiday dinners, formal celebrations, wedding receptions, or intimate family gatherings, each piece is designed to enhance presentation while offering dependable performance for years to come. The polished finish and sculptural styling create a refined table setting that feels both luxurious and effortlessly functional.
Because the Ricci Francesca pattern has been discontinued by the manufacturer, complete hostess sets like this have become increasingly difficult to find. That makes this set especially valuable for collectors, replacement buyers, and anyone looking to preserve or complete an existing Francesca flatware collection. Matching original serving pieces become rarer over time, adding both practical value and collectible appeal for those who appreciate authentic discontinued patterns and heirloom-quality tableware.
