    Whether gold-plated watches are valuable varies. Gold-plated watches generally contain very little gold, as they are primarily a base metal, to which a thin layer of gold alloy is applied as a finish. As a result, the timepieces typically don't have much value on the scrap market. However, a gold-plated watch may have value based on its age, maker, model, condition and other factors. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can help you determine how much your watch may be worth. Find a wide range of gold watches on 1stDibs.

    Whether antique silverplate has any value depends on a variety of factors. The design of the piece, who made it and decoration are among the biggest determiners of value. Generally, rarer pieces that remain in good condition will be worth the most. Today, just as pewter collectibles and sterling silver are popular with collectors at neighborhood flea markets, antique Sheffield silverplate housewares are sought after for their appearance and rich history. Consider having the piece evaluated by a knowledgeable antiques dealer or certified appraiser to get an accurate estimate of how much it's worth. On 1stDibs, find antique silverplate from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    While antique silver plate can be worth something, it is not usually as valuable compared with contemporary pieces or similar sterling silver antiques.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Antique gold is as real as contemporary gold. Pure gold is 24-karats, though few pieces of jewelry are actually made completely of 24-karat gold because it's extremely soft. 14-karat and 18-karat gold jewelry is usually mixed with alloy to make the piece a bit more durable.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

Fourteen-carat gold refers to metal that is 58.5% pure gold and 41.5% alloy. An alloy could be silver, zinc, copper or another metal. Shop a selection of 14-karat gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    Yes, some antique silver plate is worth something. However, any value that a piece has usually comes from its rarity rather than from the cost of its materials, because silver plate contains very little pure silver. There is generally a demand for certain older pieces by Christoffle, Elkington Co., Mapp Webb and other well-known manufacturers. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can evaluate the condition of your piece and give you an idea of how much it is worth. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of silver plate tableware, serveware and decorative objects.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not an antique gold finish is real gold or not depends on the item in question. Often, things said to have an "antique gold finish" simply have a gold-toned finish.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A piece of jewelry or a decorative object marked 18K gold plated does likely contain real gold. The marking indicates that the item is metal under a layer of gold alloy that contains 75 percent gold and 25 percent other metal. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of expertly vetted gold jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    Yes, some silver-plated antique silverware may be worth something. Antique pieces are 100 years old or older, and because of their age, pieces in good condition may be sought after by collectors due to their rarity. The maker, style and type will also impact the potential resale value. In terms of value as scrap metal, antique silver-plated silverware usually isn't worth much because silver plate is made only from a small amount of pure silver. To get an estimated value for your silverware, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Explore a wide range of antique silverware on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if jewelry is antique gold, take it to a licensed appraiser experienced in evaluating jewelry. It is difficult to identify jewelry materials using only the naked eye and online resources. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of expertly vetted gold jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if antique jewelry is real gold, you can first perform a simple home test. Position a magnet near the jewelry. Since gold isn't naturally magnetic, the attraction between the magnet and your piece usually indicates that your jewelry is, at most, gold-plated or crafted out of an entirely different metal. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler can also help you determine what your antique jewelry is made of. Shop a diverse assortment of antique gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
