Black and gold is the palette for a party that is not admitting to being a birthday: a New Year dinner, an anniversary, a launch, a fortieth held in a restaurant. It is the only combination on this shelf that carries a table without a single balloon in the room.
Twenty-four dessert plates at $13.90. Black is the hardest color to buy in party goods because a thin black plate looks cheap under a light and a good one does not, so this is a case where the photograph matters more than usual.
Two Black and Gold pieces exist here — these plates and a 9-inch plate pack. There is no napkin in the range, so plain black or gold from the color shelf finishes it, which is the cheaper path anyway.
