We Buy Silver Jewelry — All Types, All Conditions

If you have silver jewelry sitting in a drawer, jewelry box, or estate collection, you may be holding real value. Whether it’s modern sterling pieces or vintage heirlooms, silver jewelry has both intrinsic metal value and, in some cases, collectible appeal.

We buy all types of silver jewelry, and we provide free, no-obligation appraisals to determine exactly what you have.

Here’s a clear breakdown of what we purchase.

Sterling Silver Jewelry (Most Common)

The majority of silver jewelry in the United States is sterling silver, which is:

  • 92.5% pure silver

  • Marked “925,” “Sterling,” or “Ster”

We buy sterling silver in any form, including:

  • Rings

  • Necklaces

  • Chains

  • Bracelets

  • Anklets

  • Earrings

  • Pendants

  • Brooches

Condition does not matter. Tarnished, broken, tangled, mismatched, or outdated pieces still carry silver value.

Vintage & Estate Silver Jewelry

Older jewelry collections often include:

  • Retro designs from the 1940s–1980s

  • Handmade artisan pieces

  • Taxco Mexican silver

  • Native American silver jewelry

  • Heavy sterling statement pieces

Some estate items carry value beyond melt weight due to craftsmanship or maker demand. We evaluate both the metal content and potential resale premium.

Designer & Branded Silver Jewelry

Certain brands and makers can command higher resale values.

We evaluate designer sterling pieces carefully and determine whether:

  • They should be valued strictly for silver weight

  • Or priced with brand premium

Either way, you receive a transparent explanation of how value is calculated.

Silver Jewelry With Gemstones

We buy silver jewelry that includes:

  • Diamonds

  • Semi-precious stones

  • Turquoise

  • Onyx

  • Amethyst

  • Topaz

  • Garnet

In many cases, silver settings are valued primarily for their metal weight unless stones carry separate market demand. We assess both components when applicable.

Broken, Scrap & Damaged Silver Jewelry

You do not need perfect pieces to sell.

We buy:

  • Broken chains

  • Single earrings

  • Bent rings

  • Missing stones

  • Scrap silver pieces

  • Outdated or unwanted styles

Silver content remains valuable even if the jewelry is no longer wearable.

Silver Coins & Jewelry Combined Collections

Many clients bring in mixed collections that include:

  • Sterling jewelry

  • Silver coins

  • Silver flatware

  • Bullion

We evaluate everything together during one appointment, providing a complete breakdown of value.

What About Silver-Plated Jewelry?

Silver-plated jewelry contains only a thin outer layer of silver over base metal.

In most cases:

  • Plated items do not carry significant melt value.

  • Solid sterling is where the real value lies.

We test pieces when necessary to confirm purity.

How We Determine Value

When you bring in silver jewelry, we evaluate:

  1. Purity (Sterling 92.5% vs. other alloys)

  2. Weight in grams or troy ounces

  3. Current silver market price

  4. Any collectible or brand premium

You receive a clear explanation of pricing based on live market conditions.

Free Appraisals — No Obligation

We offer:

  • Free in-office evaluations

  • Mobile appointments for convenience

  • Secure meeting options, including bank locations

There is no cost and no pressure to sell.

Whether you’re cleaning out a drawer, liquidating part of an estate, or simply curious about value, we are here to give you accurate information and a competitive offer.

If it’s silver — we want to evaluate it.
