Who wants grandma’s silver? What was once an automatic inheri-tance plan for family silver sets and services has now slowed—in some cases taken a pause. In light of the shift, many secondhand shops are building up their collections of silver (or just about any metal) serving items, which can be snapped up by those who appre-ciate their original look and style. For those who want to update the family ware, Julia Moss Designs (JMD) offers a way to make what’s old, new again, including creamer and sugar sets, frames, pitchers, trays and the like, through the Next Generation of Silver® process—bringing pieces to a new, colorful and often elevated level. With more than 50 colors to choose from, reimagining family heirlooms is never easier. Interestingly, owner Julia Moss says the top color pick is white, classified as FDA food safe, as are the black and clearcoat coverages, which can be applied to all colors.
