Sell silver jewellery & other silver items

We primarily look at the item’s silver content, the net weight of the silver and Tavex’s current purchase price. A hallmark such as 925 can indicate the likely purity, but we always test the item to confirm it. Parts that are not made of silver are not valued at the silver price. For an accurate assessment, you can either order a free Gold Envelope and send the item to us, or visit one of our stores. Find our stores and opening hours here.

“Nickel silver” is usually not solid silver. It is typically an alloy of base metals or a silver-plated material and therefore contains little or no recoverable silver. It is normally not purchased as scrap silver. If you are unsure what the item is made of, you can send it to us using a Gold Envelope or bring it to a Tavex store and we will help you check it.

If you are unsure whether the item is genuine silver, you can order a Gold Envelope and send it to us, or bring it to one of our stores and we will test and value it for you.

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 order a Gold Envelope and send it to us, or bring it to one of our stores and we will test and value it for you.

The value of silver mainly depends on the current silver price, the purity of the item and its weight. For example, sterling silver consists of 92.5% silver and is therefore not worth as much per gram as pure silver. To determine a realistic selling value, the item must be assessed based on Tavex’s current purchase price. You can either order a free Gold Envelope and send us your silver, or bring it to one of our stores for testing and valuation.

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. Order a Gold Envelope to send it safely to us, or visit one of our stores in Stockholm, Gothenburg or Malmö, and we will 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 hallmark is a good indication, but if you are unsure, Tavex can test the item professionally. Order a free Gold Envelope to send us your item or visit one of our stores.
