Does the gold tarnish or rub off after a while? I’ve had this problem with gold flatware

The Bee Flatware Sets is highly durable and has low fading probability. Gold-plated flatware can fade over time due to factors such as wear, cleaning methods, and environmental conditions. Hand washing with mild, non-abrasive detergent and soft cloths can help minimize wear and prevent premature fading.
