The Malmaison Classique Flatware set made by Christofle is as close to dining perfection as you can get without carving eating implements directly from precious gems. The collection includes knives, forks and spoons made of sterling silver (knife blades are stainless steel) and trimmed in diamonds of exceptional quality. Each one of the diamonds is hand set in France, so it takes several months to complete each flatware set. Price: $18,600, which includes one of each: dinner fork, dinner knife, soup spoon, salad fork, and teaspoon. To make a table setting for eight diners, you'll need $148,800.

Who would have thought that flatware could be sexy? The Iittala Mango Flatware was originally designed by Nancy Still back in 1971, but as all trends eventually come around again, it isn't surprising to see it popping up again now. Made of matte brushed 18/10 stainless steel, each piece has a sinuous elegance to it and would word well at both formal and casual dinners. The set is made in Finland. Price: $70 per 5-piece set.

 SpoonFed Art is a business founded by designer Karin Collins. Her technique is lovely, but what is really interesting is the material she uses to make her pendants: spoons. Each pendant begins as a spoon before being handmade into a unique piece of jewelry. The colors are rich and bold, ranging from vibrant pop-art scenes to more subdued and elegant designs. New pieces are added to the collection all the time, but because each piece is original, it is best not to wait when you see one you like. The pendants are available online, at the Los Angeles CAFA Museum Shop and will be featured in Mischa Barton's upcoming ad campaign for Keds, as well as in a new Vera Wang campaign. Price: $85.
