Getting Started: 4 Simple Steps
Identify Your Silver
Before calculating value, you need to know what your silver is. Look for a hallmark stamp (925, 800, 999, STERLING). If you're not sure, use our Silver Identifier for testing methods.
Weigh Your Item
Use a kitchen scale set to grams for best accuracy. If your scale only shows regular ounces, use our Weight Converter to convert. Need to understand troy vs regular ounces? See What Is a Troy Ounce?
