More on KrugerrandsWhat Do the Hallmarks Mean?
Silver is stamped with a number showing its purity. All of these are silver, and all have value — we XRF test every item to confirm the exact content rather than relying on the mark alone.
Common in older European silverware and continental pieces
Often found in older bullion pieces and some antique items
Sterling silver — the most common mark on jewellery and silverware
Fine silver, typically investment-grade pieces and bars
An honest warning about plated silver. Many older tea sets, trays and cutlery sets are silver plated — a thin silver coating over a base metal — rather than solid silver. Plated items hold no meaningful silver value. Marks like EPNS, A1 or "Silver on Copper" indicate plating. We test everything and tell you straight either way, at no cost and with no obligation.
Silver Deserves the Same Rigour as Gold
Silver is worth less per gram than gold, which is precisely why some buyers treat it casually. We don't — the same testing equipment, the same transparent calculation, the same immediate payment.
XRF-Tested Accuracy
Professional XRF testing confirms the exact silver content of every item — no scratching, no acid, no damage, and no guessing from the hallmark alone.

Where to Sell Silver Jewellery in South Africa
If you've been searching for "sell my silver jewellery," "where can I sell silver near me" or "silver buyers," we buy silver in every form — and have done since 1997. Most people know us for gold, but the process is identical for silver: professional XRF testing, pricing against the live international silver market, and immediate EFT payment once you accept.
What Is My Silver Worth?
Two things determine the value of your silver: its purity and its weight. Purity is usually stamped on the piece — 925 for sterling, or 800, 900 and 999 for other grades. We apply the live international silver spot price, converted to Rand, to the actual silver content confirmed by testing.
Silver is worth considerably less per gram than gold, and it's worth being upfront about that. But quantity changes the picture entirely. Silver jewellery is light, so a few rings won't amount to much. A full cutlery canteen or a Victorian tea service, on the other hand, can weigh several kilograms — and those pieces are frequently worth far more than their owners expect.
Solid Silver vs Silver Plated
This is the single most important thing to understand before selling. Silver plated items have no meaningful silver value. Plating is a microscopically thin layer of silver over a base metal such as copper or nickel, and the recoverable silver content is negligible.
Look for these marks, which indicate plating rather than solid silver:
- EPNS — Electro-Plated Nickel Silver
- EP or EPBM — Electro-Plated Britannia Metal
- A1, A2 — plating quality grades, not purity marks
- "Silver on Copper" or "Sheffield Plate"
Solid silver carries a numeric purity mark instead — 925, 800, 900 or 999 — often alongside a maker's mark. If you're unsure, don't worry about it. We test everything and tell you honestly, free of charge and with no obligation to sell.
What We Buy
- Silver rings, chains, bracelets, bangles, earrings and pendants
- Sterling silver tea sets, coffee services and trays
- Cutlery canteens and individual serving pieces

Please don't polish it first
Tarnish is a surface reaction and has no effect on silver content or value. Polishing removes a small amount of the metal itself, so cleaning your pieces before selling can very slightly reduce what they're worth. Send them exactly as they are.
