Solid silver or plated? This is how you recognise it
The biggest difference in value is between solid silver and plated cutlery, also called silver plate. Turn your piece over and look for the hallmark, it tells you at once what you have. Read more about hallmarks, silver plate and silver knives on our page about selling silver cutlery.
Hallmark: 60, 80, 90, 100 or 200
That number indicates how many grams of silver were applied over a dozen pieces, on top of a core of another metal. Well known brands such as Christofle and Wiskemann are plated this way.
Hardly any material value. We do not buy this and simply return it to you.
Hallmark: 800, 835 or 925
That is the silver content in thousandths: 80%, 83.5% or 92.5% (sterling) pure silver. Solid silver usually also carries a hallmark with several small stamps.
We buy this on the fine silver weight times the daily rate.
Because fake pieces have also been sold door to door, we always check solid silver with a meter. That way you are sure of what you have, and so are we.
Silver knives: why we do not buy them
A silver knife always has a thick, hollow handle. That handle is filled with plaster, wax or resin to make it sturdy, and we cannot calculate that weight out. The blade itself is moreover not silver but stainless steel or another metal, because silver is too brittle to cut with. That is why we do not buy silver knives. Spoons, forks and serving pieces in solid silver are of course welcome.
Table silver and all silver services
Besides cutlery we also buy solid table silver: dishes, candlesticks, trays, teapots and all silver service pieces such as plates and coasters.
Here too the hallmark tells the most. Solid silver tableware carries a content hallmark (800, 835 or 925) and often also a master mark of the silversmith. For solid pieces the weight is decisive: the heavier the piece, the more fine silver, times the current daily rate.
Note one thing, just as with silver knives: some heavy pieces are filled to stand firmly. Candlesticks and certain bases have a core of plaster, pitch or another filling material, and that filling weight is not silver. So we do not count it. We weigh and assess each piece in front of you, so you know exactly what the pure silver is worth.
