How to clean copper coloured cutlery

I picked up a lovely modern set of sort of rose-gold coloured cutlery, but after going through the dishwasher numerous times it's looking a funny colour.
Anyone know how to smarten it up?

    Complain to the shop (assuming the cutlery is sold as dishwasher safe) and contact the maker to ask them for their advice on restoring it to its former glory.

    If the cutlery doesn't say it is dishwasher safe and you've already removed the outer layer, there probably isn't much you can do. You can't restore something which is no longer there - but perhaps try Brasso or a good quality silver cleaner.

    It more than likely wasnt dishwasher safe and once the coating has come off, thats it I am afraid.
