How do you recognise sterling silver?
Look for the stamp 925 – usually on the inside of a ring, on the clasp of a chain or on the rim or underside of an object. That number stands for the quantity of thousandths of pure material: 925 means 92.5% silver.
If there is no stamp at all, we measure the fineness with an acid test or – with valuable pieces – with X-ray analysis. That last method is non-destructive: your item stays intact.
Where you come across sterling silver
Sterling is the international standard for silver jewellery and better tableware. The remaining 75 thousandths are usually copper, and it is precisely that copper which makes the metal hard enough to make something that keeps its shape.
Virtually everything sold as silver jewellery carries this stamp, from rings to necklaces, and designer work and branded silver are almost always 925 as well.
With cutlery, watch the handles of the knives: those are generally filled with resin or pitch, so that only the silver casing counts towards the weight. With spoons and forks the full weight counts.
What you see here is the pure material value. 92.5% of the rate, times the weight, with nothing deducted. We fetch that rate from the world market every minute and convert it at the euro rate of that moment.

Questions about Silver 925
What does the stamp 925 on silver mean?
It means that 925 of every 1000 parts by weight are pure silver, or 92.5%. That fineness is called sterling and it is the international standard for silver jewellery and better tableware. The remaining 75 thousandths are usually copper, which gives the metal its strength.
What is a gram of sterling silver worth?
The amount follows the world market rate and therefore changes every minute; the current figure stands at the top of this page. The calculation itself never changes: the silver rate per gram times 92.5%, times the weight of your piece. The table above shows that for one to a hundred grams.
Why do you weigh silver knives separately?
Because the handle of a silver knife is generally filled with resin or pitch to give it weight and balance. Only the silver casing around that filling is silver, so the full weight on the scales would overstate what is actually there. Spoons and forks are solid and do count in full.
Do I get the same price at a branch as on the website?
Yes, the price you see here is the same price you get at all 45 of our locations. At the table we only still establish the weight and the fineness of your pieces. For the fineness we measure, the price per gram shown on this site is what applies.
