In depth

Buying Sterling Silver Sets

Inherited silverware you never use, or a flatware set that has sat in the cabinet for years, is one of the most overlooked things people own, and sterling silver is priced by weight and silver content rather than sentiment. We buy sterling flatware sets, serving pieces, tea and coffee services, candlesticks, trays, and hollowware, all marked .925 or sterling, weighing every piece on a calibrated scale in front of you and pricing it against the live silver spot price, at a rate explained before you decide.

FAQ

Sell Sterling Silver Sets: common questions

Still have questions?

Call any store and talk to a buyer.

How is a silver flatware set valued?

Every piece is weighed on a calibrated scale and priced on its actual silver content against the market, not on its resale as tableware.

What about weighted or hollow pieces?

Candlesticks and some handles hold non-silver filler for stability; we account for that honestly so you are paid only for the real silver.

Do I need to polish the set first?

No. Polishing changes nothing, since value rests on silver weight, and a full service often adds up to more than owners expect.
