Do You Buy Silver?
Yes, we love to buy silver! While our specialty is platinum, we also accept anything that is pure silver or sterling silver. However, we do not buy silver-plated items as they are too expensive to refine.
Difference Between Sterling Silver and Pure Silver
Pure silver (99.9% or .999) is a very soft metal, which would make it difficult to cast into specific objects such as silverware or jewelry. You'll typically only find pure silver in the form of bars or coins for commodity exchanges.
Sterling silver is a harder form that's more practical for everyday items. Alloys are added to the metal to increase its durability, reduce tarnish, and improve surface qualities. Sterling silver is typically composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper). This is the version of silver that most silverware and silver jewelry are made of.
