1 Answer
Is it worth selling sterling silver?
Whether it's worth selling sterling silver depends on your personal preferences and the current market conditions. The price of sterling silver fluctuates over time, so it's a good idea to research the current rates before you sell. In some cases, sterling silver jewelry, tableware or decorative objects may be worth more than the market rate for sterling silver due to their age, maker and rarity. As a result, you may wish to consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer before you sell. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of sterling silver pieces.
