Sell silver jewellery & other silver items

We mainly look at the item’s silver content, the net weight of silver and Tavex’s current buying price. A stamp such as 925 can indicate the likely purity, but we can test the item to confirm it. Parts that are not silver are not valued at the silver price. For an accurate assessment, you can bring the item to a Tavex store. Find our stores and opening hours here.

Yes. Tavex buys genuine silver jewellery, silver items and cutlery that meet our purchasing requirements.

Silver-plated items are normally not valued as solid silver because they contain only a thin layer of silver.

If you are unsure whether the item is genuine silver, you can bring it to one of our Tavex stores and we will test and value it for you.

The value of silver depends mainly on the current silver price, the item’s purity and weight. For example, sterling silver consists of 92.5% silver and is therefore not worth as much per gram as pure silver. For a realistic selling value, the item needs to be assessed using Tavex’s current buying price. Bring your silver item to one of our stores for testing and valuation. Find our stores here.

An item can still be genuine silver even if it does not have a 925 stamp or hallmark. Colour, weight and a simple magnet test can provide clues, but home tests cannot confirm the silver content with certainty.

The safest option is professional testing. Bring the item to one of our Tavex stores in Stockholm, Gothenburg or Malmö, and we can test the silver and determine its purity for you.

Sterling silver contains 92.5% silver and is therefore usually marked 925. The remaining 7.5% is normally another metal that makes the item stronger. A 925 stamp is a good indication, but if you are unsure, Tavex can test the item professionally. Find our Tavex stores and opening hours here

Tavex buys genuine silver cutlery that meets our purchasing requirements. Silver cutlery can only be sold in person at one of our Tavex stores and cannot be sent by post.

Bring your silver cutlery to us and we will test the purity, weigh it and provide a valuation. The value depends mainly on the silver content and weight rather than the age of the item or what it originally cost.

You can contact Tavex before your visit if you have any questions.

Yes, investment silver in the form of coins and bars can be sent to Tavex using the Tavex Gold Envelope.

Silver jewellery, silver cutlery, silver items and other scrap or non-investment silver, however, cannot be sent by post. These items must be brought to one of our Tavex stores for testing and valuation.

You can learn more about selling gold and silver to Tavex or contact Tavex if you are unsure which option applies to your silver.
